Ultima Codex talk:Coverage

Defining which games will be covered by this wiki
There was a small discussion some days ago on the talk page for Lords of Ultima about what games should this wiki focus on. Some people indicated that they thought this wiki should focus only on single-player Ultima games from the main series, while others supported the idea of including details about every Ultima game, even if it is not part of the main single-player series. The fact is that this has not been defined before, and this wiki page is very vague right now in terms of what the wiki covers.

And btw, this discussion is not about what is canon and what is not canon, or how to present conflicting information from multiple games in an article. It is about which games should be have detailed articles here on the wiki. We can still have the concept of canon and source priorities; that should not be affected by the decision of which games to cover in detail.

So, I thought this would be a good moment to try to define this. Of course, this depends on people actually being interested in defining this, and on people participating in this discussion. I propose we vote on the issue, since this should be easy to do for anybody who wants to participate. If people want to add more arguments/comments to the discussion, they can do so below the voting section. Of course, the results of the voting are not binding, but they should help get an idea of what the community feels we should do.


 * Votes for focusing on only some games (i.e., the "core" single-player Ultima games)
 * Votes for including details on all Ultima games (including LoU, UO, UF, etc)

- Discussion:

I like the idea of having all Ultima information in one place. There may be some cases where we may want to avoid duplicate information, such as trying to integrate better with the UOGuide wiki, but in general, I think the wiki would be a better resource for people if it covers as many Ultima games as possible. Plus, it would also help the wiki gain a broader audience. I have the impression that we have focused mainly on the single-player games because those are the ones that most people here like the most. --Sega381 (talk) 07:56, 16 April 2013 (PDT)
