:How about moving the ToDos to [[DominionStrategy_Wiki:Community_portal]]? My thought about the Main Page is to provide links as entry points to all categories. I will add several categories later. --[[User:Qvist|Qvist]] ([[User talk:Qvist|talk]]) 09:15, 31 October 2012 (EDT) | :How about moving the ToDos to [[DominionStrategy_Wiki:Community_portal]]?

::Done. Should we keep the "Featured Links" box around? I feel like those can be linked from their respective pages within the wiki. Under the box at the top of the page, I'd love to have a "important pages" box and a "featured article" box. --[[User:Schneau|Schneau]] ([[User talk:Schneau|talk]]) 09:36, 31 October 2012 (EDT) | ::Done.

+ | I asked this on the [[Talk:Embargo]] page, but it's not specific to that card: Am I right in assuming the bulleted list for the FAQ instead of the wall of text is acceptable? I'd like to get to changing them, but not if they're all going to get reverted. --[[User:Drab Emordnilap|Drab Emordnilap]] ([[User talk:Drab Emordnilap|talk]]) 15:49, 26 October 2012 (EDT) | ||

+ | :I looked at the embargo page, I think I agree. It seems like a good idea to reformat the FAQs and articles to better fit what looks good online versus what looks good in a rulebook or a blog. More bullet points, fewer long paragraphs. --[[User:ftl_ftw|ftl_ftw]] | ||

With both flavor texts of expansions and secret histories of cards, I think it would be good to somehow indicate that the text is a direct quote and not just something somebody added. Can we put these in block quotes or something indicating that they are from those sources? --[[User:Schneau|Schneau]] ([[User talk:Schneau|talk]]) 17:14, 26 October 2012 (EDT) | With both flavor texts of expansions and secret histories of cards, I think it would be good to somehow indicate that the text is a direct quote and not just something somebody added.

For cards which are not set specific, i.e. copper, curse, province etc. what should we list as the 'set.' Base seems wrong since that implies that they are only in the base set. I was thinking something like 'common.' And then non-supply cards not in every game (shelters, plats, potions) can be listed in their appropriate expansion? Any objections? --[[User:Jonts|Jonts]] ([[User talk:Jonts|talk]]) 20:30, 31 October 2012 (EDT) | For cards which are not set specific, i.e. copper, curse, province etc. what should we list as the 'set.'

I'd prefer common cards in front of basic cards. Also, shouldn't Spoils be moved to Dark ages? --[[User:Hks|Hks]] ([[User talk:Hks|talk]]) 18:49, 3 November 2012 (EDT) | I'd prefer common cards in front of basic cards.

+ | === Capitalization === | ||
+ | It seems that we need some specific rules for capitalization. I never know if it should be Treasure or treasure, Action or action. For example, I always capitalize "Action" when I'm talking about a card type or phase, and lowercase "action" if it's talking about number of actions left in your Action phase. Is that correct? Or should it always be capitalized? Here are some capitalization rules; feel free to edit or add to this list (p.s. this should move to a style guide eventually): | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Things that should be capitalized==== | ||
+ | *Card names | ||
+ | *Expansions | ||
+ | *Types | ||
+ | *Phases (Action phase, Buy phase, Clean-up phase) | ||
+ | *[[Vanilla bonuses]] (+Cards, +Actions, +Buy) | ||
+ | *Victory points (is this right?) | ||
+ | *[[VP token|Victory point tokens]] (is this right?) | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Things that should be lowercase==== | ||
+ | *"actions" when used as number of actions left in your Action phase (is this right?) --[[User:Schneau|Schneau]] ([[User talk:Schneau|talk]]) 09:35, 2 November 2012 (EDT) | ||
=== Coin symbol templates === | === Coin symbol templates === | ||
It would be great to have small, text-sized coin symbols that could be used in-line with text. So, instead of putting +$4, you could put <nowiki>{{Coin4}}</nowiki>, and it would print the Dominion coin symbol with a 4 in it. These would be useful in a lot of places, and would look really nice. We could also have one without a number in it (that could be used in place of +Coins or +$ (like on [[Salvager]]), and one with a Potion symbol for Potion costs. I think I could make the templates if I had the coin images - if anyone has access to them and could upload them, that would be great! | It would be great to have small, text-sized coin symbols that could be used in-line with text.

I just created an article called [[Opening]] which covers both open''ings'' and open''ers''. Be sure to link to the article whenever you see it or use it in other articles, and help flesh out the article some more.
