Awakening From a Deep Slumber (Got bored playing Minecraft)

I am back. Who wants to do some stuff? --Magikarp7297, the Wild Card 05:53, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

I may be returning regularly again (got bored playing terraria). i'll keep in touch. --adam02oc 19:41, 18th January 2019 (GMT)

So, does anybody want to do anything about the "do not edit" sign for the Choose Your Own Adventures on this page? Can we remove the signs?

If authors don't want their stories edited, we should respect their wishes and not edit their stories. --Platypus 01:22, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

Re: "Do Not Edit" and "Private" Stories

What about the ones that haven't been edited or updated in a while? I know I did some minor editing on a "do not edit" or "private" story I liked a while back on a story that was practically abandoned a couple years ago. Fixing spelling, link issues, category issues... ya know, that kind of thing. Perhaps "do not edit" stories should become public domain after a period of no activity? --Durzan 17:15, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

Re: Main Page

The main page could use some cleaning up and reorganization; it is super long and filled with material that is outdated. For instance, the lists of popular stories has several stories that have barely been updated in ages or have been practically abandoned and the quick reference for page length and story status is also somewhat outdated. Cleaning the front page of stories that have been abandoned should be done.

Also, I am neither seeing a link to a page with the wiki rules are listed clearly, or a subsection where the rules are listed. That might be something that we should add to the main page.

I can start working on a modified version of the Main Page, but I wanted to let everyone know and get feedback from you all first.

Re: Organization

I have started to make a series of categories and sub-categories to make navigation through the pages a bit easier. For instance, I have established a Category: Reference Database category and Category:Story Ratings subcategory to better organize story categories and sub-categories. For instance, I made a category for PG-13 Stories as a sub-category to Story Ratings and will include all stories that are PG-13 in nature. Before, all stories of a specific rating would be categorized under System Pages... but not anymore!

I am currently working on updating the categories of the various story grouping pages. Will keep you guys posted. --Durzan 18:53, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
