Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Final Fantasy/Archive/3

message: As part of the present proposal to expand the criteria for speedy deletion, it has been suggested that all RPG characters that do not have a basis for existence in a book or other offline medium should be deleted.  I suspect this was well-intentioned effort but seems unreasonably broad.  Since this would seem to call for the elimination of all or nearly all articles in :Category:Final Fantasy characters, I figure that this community needs to be made aware of the impact of this proposal.
See: Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion/Proposal/7.

message: Here, I signed myself up as a member the other day, but this WikiProject DOES include the Chrono series, right?  If not, take my name off.  Chou.  Peaceman 01:08, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

message: Since we are working on Chrono triger series within this project, so we add sections to the to-do list and the index for Chrono triger related articles? --ZeWrestler 18:42, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

message: We have an FF airship article.  Do we need to leave the airship goal on our goal list? --ZeWrestler 13:53, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

message: I didn't even know there were any articles on the FF soundtrack albums until I went to the WikiProject page and noticed the example link of FFIV: Celtic Moon. I think it would be a good idea for the main articles on the games to contain links to the pages on albums related to the games. --Zilog Jones 20:44, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

*Should we move the classes from (character class) to (Final Fantasy), such as Black Mage (Final Fantasy), and make the (character class) articles disambiguous? They just seem so cluttered the way they are now, and it would make it easier to standardize them. ~ Hibana
**I think so, after all, most article are called like that. A good exemple would be Weapon (Final Fantasy). I vote for it, but before moving a page, I'd wait for the approval of one more person. – DarkEvil 19:49, July 20, 2005 (UTC)
*Does anybody else agree that this should be done? I'm pretty anxious to begin. :) ~ Hibana
**I'm not sure, myself. It seems like it would be difficult to provide full articles for some classes, and splitting up, say, Thief (character class) between thieves in the Final Fantasy series and thieves in other video games almost seems a little excessive. That being said, it would make administrating the articles easier from our perspective, except that I sort of expect that we'll be getting semi-regular merge requests.... I honestly dunno. – Seancdaug 16:32, July 21, 2005 (UTC)
*We can't make the "(character classes)" Final Fantasy only because FF takes these character classes from Dungeons and Drgaons. So, if it should be anything it should be D&D related. Which sucks. But we can use the infobox on every page and make it standard (ie. every page has certain information in it). We'll need to include D&D somewhere, so how about we have a few sub-headings on the character class pages.
Top paragraph - standard in all articles, minor description of the character class, but not limited to Final Fantasy games.
Reference - what the class refers to. White Mage will have something like this while Beserker has ties with the history books, and some others are D&D-created.
Final Fantasy - here's where the FF-status comes in (so it's the most obvious and significant section). We'll have to include how the class appears in each FF (remember Bard and Songstress is practically the same thing), what magic they use etc.
Can you tell I've been thinking about this for some time? If you have any ideas on what the standard should be we should decide on something before someone starts the change. — Cuahl 16:39, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
