IRC meetings are when users meet on the IRC to discuss specific issues and proposals about the Ratchet & Clank wiki. Users can add anything that may affect the whole community or any ideas they have to the agenda below, even if they cannot make the meeting. When the agenda is long enough an IRC meeting will be held at a time and date voted on by users. Transcripts are kept for the IRC meetings to serve as records and so users who missed the meeting can read what happened, the transcripts can be found below. Transcripts are normally recorded by Hunterj's bot HunterG-88, please see Ratchet & Clank wiki:IRC for further information about the bot. For information about the IRC itself and help on accessing our channel please see Ratchet & Clank wiki:IRC.

Initial discussions for date/timeEdit

AgendaEdit

Crossed out topics indicate a topic that has a forum open or has been removed.

Feel free to add topics here. These topics should be brief summaries of the issue you would like to discuss. They will be raised at the next IRC meeting.

1. Administrative topics - I'd like to rename this forum, as it's not really just for administrators. I'd like to open it up to suggestions from the community, more like our question board but for issues on the wiki. At the very least I'd like to change the name. --_Hunterj ^{Hunterj's Resort} 20:45, January 30, 2013 (UTC)
2. Skins - Should we have separate articles for skins of species. For example Kerchu and Blarg are also skins, we could have Blarg (skin) and Kerchu (skin) as well. I don't think is appropriate for characters as they are still that individual character, but with the species this might not be a bad idea, in my opinion. --_Hunterj ^{Hunterj's Resort} 14:59, March 8, 2013 (UTC)
3. General forum - I'd like to overhaul this to allow for general discussions, speculation, and even off topic chat between users potentially. Currently it'd probably involve using sub-categories and a system similar to the question boards in my opinion but I'd like to consider Wikia's new forum feature. I don't like the forum module at the bottom of each page and would be strongly against using the forums feature if this was included as forums aren't the priority here in my opinion but otherwise it might be worth using this feature. I've contacted Wikia about the module at the bottom of each page to see if it's possible to have it removed if we use it, but regardless I think overhauling the forums is worth considering. If we do use Wikia's system it might be necessary to create forums with links back to the original/archived discussions in the old system. --_Hunterj ^{Hunterj's Resort} 23:28, May 6, 2013 (UTC)
4. Tabs - tabs have been added to some articles for infobox images. I really don't like these, especially with the inconsistent formatting, and we should discuss their use. --_Hunterj ^{Hunterj's Resort} 13:04, May 20, 2013 (UTC)

CommentsEdit

If you want to talk about an agenda topic add a new section below with its number, however it is best to save discussion for the meeting if possible. If you are not going to be able to make the meeting, feel free to give your input and opinions here, but you cannot vote on any topics requiring a vote unless you attend - speak to an administrator if this is a problem.

2Edit

• We need to clarify what we're doing with some articles like Skrunch (Skin) etc. --_Hunterj ^{Hunterj's Resort} 01:38, May 7, 2013 (UTC)

• Cragmite Skin is another example of different formatting. --_Hunterj ^{Hunterj's Resort} 01:39, May 7, 2013 (UTC)
