Card Battles Wiki; just an idea...

So, I've been thinking (big shock, huh?) and I thought maybe we could start a CB wiki. I guess all I'm trying to do is kill time for now, but would anybody actually be interested in participating or atleast reading a Card Battles Wiki? I think with enough creativity it might actually become interesting and it might be a good way for newer members to learn more about their 'heritage'. So what feedback have you?

Definitely an official card maker... Trust me, I am...
I think this could be an interesting idea. I know quite a bit about CB events (Such as Clocky's embarrassing battle against Dodo. :P ), but sometimes, even I am confused about what the older members talk about.

Might be something worth thinking about. I'm not quite seeing how it would work that well for being a history of Cb type thing, though. That seems like it would be a thing of its own.

Well, I didn't quite mean it to be a CB hstory thing, but some of the articles might explain more about things like the original CCC or other stuff like that. You know, some of the more obscure OCs for example or some of the things that went on long ago.

Yeah, I could definitely see it being useful for OCs. If it included cards, it might also provide a easier way to browse through cards.

Especially when trying to see what cards have already been made.

I agree. Adding cards is a good idea and I'm glad it came up without me having to bring it in. So, seeing as how the feelings towards it are positive, who all would like to help out making it? I can do some parts, but there's things even I don't know much about.

Thanks guys. I suppose we can get started now. Also, we could use this topic to discuss things before posting on the wiki. First off, there's the Wiki name to decide on. Would something like 'Card Battles' or 'Extinct Card Battles' be used, or should we come up with a different name?

Probably just Card Battles, I'd think.

Another thing we'll need is some categories. Off the top of my head, some we should have are:
Members(?)
OCs
Cards
Apocalypse
Light
Dark
Water
Fire
Nature
Wind
Earth
Lightning
Poison
Death
Move
Prehistoric
Genome Inc.
Xeno Corp.
Myth
Entertainment
Other
Deity
Chaos Effect
Constellation
Nomen Dubium


We should probably also consider what sort of format we should use for card pages. I'm thinking we could have the side box show the card itself, plus information such as its element(s), HP, affiliations, creator, ect. The main part of the page could, in order, give a basic description, abilities and attacks, information on what its based on, and then perhaps strategy tips and trivia.

I'd definitely be in.

@DF: Don't forget NPC's.

Might also want to add in Places/Locations. It'd be a place to give some backgrounds among the more prominent places on the Cratalis (Or we could just put them on a single page solely about the Cratalis)

Warning: Word Wall

The Works
- Wiki Name: Alright, Card Battles it will be! Now there's the next step:
- About the Wiki:
Posted Image
As you can see, we need to describe our Wiki in a couple of sentences and select a 'Category' (the list thing.). So, for our description, I don't have an idea at the moment. What do you guys think should be there? Something that sparks interest. Then there's the category. I think the following may apply: Creative, Education, Entertainment, Gaming, Lifestyle, Other. I think we have to pick one though. So, what will it be?
Quick Update!: Alright guys, so i started a quick little test and there is already a Card Battles Wiki made. So, should we just get started on that one, or what? CB Wiki

On Categories:
Alright, so the list that DF made looks good. I think Members should also be included. And as Sigma said, I think we also need a 'Places/Locations' category. As for the second part of that post, I think we should have a page that gives an overall look at the Cratalis, but the more prominent locations get their own pages. And I think we should atleast have a page for GI and one for XEno.

On Card Page Format:
I agree with what DF said about the box. Maybe something along the lines of :
Card Name: The name, duh!
Species: In the event of Moves.
Card Picture
Attribute(s)
Hp
Affiliation (by that do you mean 'prehistoric' 'myth' 'other' thype thing?)
Creator
Publish Date (maybe?)
Also, maybe if it came from a suggestion, the suggester could be mentioned.

As for the Main Page (of each individual card), I also agree with DF. I was thinking something like this:
Top Description: A quick summary of the card.Possibly including Element, place in history/origin, etc.
More in Depth Description: Just a stretched out version of the top description I guess.
Abilities: Perhaps a description of how they work (both how it'd look and what it does in battle)
Attacks: Same as above.
Info on what it is based on(under a different name of course) Perhaps more detail on the animal featured in the card as well as other things we can make up about it. (After all, card Battling started in ancient times, right?)
Strategy Tips
Trivia

What do you guys think?

No, I believe that card battles are a fairly modern invention. Just because the boss & his arch nemesis are millenia old doesn't mean this is.

We could use the old one, or we could start fresh. Not much will change either way. If we do start fresh, then Gaming.
