Ondore's Memoirs

Welcome to the Clan Primer. Here, we keep track of ongoing and past discussions on the wiki, particularly those which affect wiki policy. When a discussion begins, it will be added to the "Ongoing" section of this page. Once the discussion is resolved, it will be moved to the "Archived" section. Discussions specific to single talk pages will not be archived.

There are (irregular) meetings on the IRC at #wikia-finalfantasy to review the discussions listed in the Primer. This subpage holds the record of these meetings.

The Clan Primer may be edited by anyone to raise awareness of a discussion.
