Entry organization
- Where to put weapon comparisons? Some have their own pages, and some are in the entry for the TFTD weapon.
- Where to put ammo information? Some ammo (Hydrojet etc.) are on the weapon entry, and some also have their own entry.. Maybe it's best to have the ammo entries redirect to the weapon entry and put all the info there?
- UFOs or USOs? The game still refers to "UFOpedia", but I guess USO is more clear... Cesium 01:21, 12 February 2010 (EST)
- My take on those questions:
- Not entirely sure about that, though Weapon Analysis is a rather universal page for any form of weapon comparison between or within the first two games. Apocalypse got its own section since it can't be as easily compare as the first two stat for stat.
- As for the ammo - if we follow the in-game convention, human weapons have their ammo in the weapon ufopaedia entry, whereas the alien weapons have the ammo as a separate entry. There are two ways to go about it - we can put the ammo in separate pages or use redirects and combine them into a single page. Each method has its benefit, so I'll go with what's accepted by the majority. Having the ammo in separate pages would make it a lot easier to create a universal description template - I've been scratching my head on how to draft up a table that efficiently combines the ammo and weapon stats for ages now.
- Ufopedia is the official in-game description. Note the "e" instead of "ae". I don't mind it in particular, but there is some resistance to the use of "USO". It wasn't used in TFTD, and didn't really come into official terminology until Interceptor (I think in David Ellis' official strategy guide). As they are used in the game: Alien Submarine or Alien Sub would be the best way to describe the ships with the least amount of strife. -NKF 02:19, 12 February 2010 (EST)
