		Alrighty, all these silly pages and conjecture pages are clogging up the mainspace. I think you know what the proposed solution is. Move them to user spaces. This includes stuff like Romantic Arguments, Villain Debates and so on. And no, a Conjecture mainspace won't be made.

Good. It's about time we organize the mainspace for the FFWiki after three years of existence.

		What about the inter-game connection?

Ser Blue says at 12:09, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

We could intergrate them into the game articles. It's evident that we don't have a universal look for the game articles; most of them were copies of Wikipedia's rewritten for an informal look. We could standardize them like we did other pages.

As for the Nonsense and Conjecture, I have two proposals:
1. Move them to userspace according to first wrote or hosted them. Because it's purely evident that some of these conjecture are written from an editor's perspective, or
2. Move them to the UnFinalFantasy Wiki, which is an attempt to parody FF. We could always link them to the related articles. And I do think the UnFF needs more than just unfunny content.

		I think if conjecture is notable, it should stay in the mainspace. We're not Wikipedia.

		Well, the last thing I want is another stupid User Page. All I want are Archives for my Talk and Picture of the Week. You can just flat-out delete my nonsense. It doesn't even makes sense (which totally sucks for FFVIII). How sad that my Nonsense Category did not even make it a week.

		I love conjeture and nonsense, they are funny to read! But I'm nothing more than a non-editing user, so... yeah...

		How odd, Diablo wanting to move his own work to userspace where everyone will forget about it.


		Diablocon - No, the question is; who art thou, ham planks? Shanks! I meant shanks TALK - 22:42, 11 May 2008 (UTC)



		Everyone's already forgotten about it anyway, so I don't see the problem. Also, Bluer is the one who feels really passionate about this. I just made the suggestion.

		Fan-Material space - Easy, Fast, and cleans the mainspace/userspace of all those nonsense, stories, fan-art articles, and puts them on a place where they'll be given more attention. You know you want to....

		I think we have enough Spaces. I am really opposed to Henry's idea because I know that Walkthroughs would fit right in there, and I swear to Christ I AM NOT MOVING THEM AGAIN. No way.


		Diablocon - No, the question is; who art thou, ham planks? Shanks! I meant shanks TALK - 22:51, 11 May 2008 (UTC)



		And no, a Conjecture mainspace won't be made. Read the whole post next time Henry.

		A conjecture space is just stupid, ALSO we can always put that on the Zanctuary of Zi'tah or w/e...

		@BH: What you just said made no sense...If we already have a Walkthrough Space why would we move the walkthroughs from it to a Fan-Material space? Makes no fucking sense. @Diablo: This idea comes from sooner than you think. A mere sentence won't stop it from being posted. @Everyone else: I think Pablo just gave the solution to our problems.

		If the pages need to be moved, so be it. Come vote in the Soul Shrine and take one of my Final Fantasy quizzes.

Ser Blue says at 09:32, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Another namespace? Sorry, Henry, we've swamped the technicians in Wikia with enough tasks already.

Sanctuary of Zi'tah as a place for fan material, including conjecture? Not bad of an idea, really, considering it's already done on several levels. These pages shall be moved there, unless they're already in the userspace.


		Goldberry2000 - That was a rhetorical question, and the answer was my fist TALK - Sandbox 08:53, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

		I don't really see how these things are clogging up the mainspace. If you move them to userpage subpages they might as well be deleted because no one will notice them. As well, Wikipedia has like, dozens of joke pages like this, about how addicted you are to Wikipedia and the various Wiki-creatures, etc. I don't see how less than a dozen here hurts anything. Come vote in the Soul Shrine and take one of my Final Fantasy quizzes.

		Categorizing them as Conjecture or Nonsense pretty much takes care of all that. You could make a special template for these pages to show their lack of substance.

I think there is a clearly perceptible line between what is reasonable conjecture and nonsense. There are facts that make certain articles more interesting (IE: The identity of Gogo) but then there are things that make the whole wiki worse and really aren't worth having in the mainspace (Sephiroth v. Kefka abominati...article). I would support any action to get it out of the mainspace. I said all along that I thought it should be in the user space, but I'd be perfectly ok with its summary deletion.

		I've thought up a good place for my Nonsense Article. If things must change, I'll simply make it a Picture of the Week. Edea needs to be featured more often. I'm still not supporing a move because I'd hate to see us get serious now. Just to make sure things stay wacky, here's a random word: "CHAIR!!!".

Just to illustrate a point, I added something to the Kefka vs. Sephiroth page implying my absolute supremacy. Yeah, its dumb. Anyone should delete it with half a brain, but if you do, since its in the mainspace, who is to say it isn't vandalism?
