Vaporstory:Coming Soon

From Vaporstory

Vaporstory is still brand-new. In addition to having very few total articles, it lacks much of what make up the "spice" of other wikis. This is a list of what is planned for the future of Vaporstory. If you have any suggestions, add them at the talk page.

• Revamped main page.

• Description: A main page that contains nice-looking, colored sections resembling Wikipedia. This will eventually sport a "Featured Article" section, a "New Articles" section, a "Did You Know?" section, a "Writer of the Month" section, and possibly a "Minerva News" section.
• Expected: When Wehpudicabok gets around to it.

• A working forum.

• Description: A forum which operates on an independent Vaporstory namespace, and makes the process of creating a new topic and adding it to the main page automatic.
• Expected: As soon as we figure out how to get the forum set up properly.

• Article progress ratings.

• Description: Ratings that we can put on article talk pages indicating how well an article is coming along. This will be run by admins who patrol new articles.
• Expected: When the wiki gets big enough that we get daily traffic from non-admins.

• Separation of canon and non-canon articles.

• Description: Certain articles should be given the official "Canon" stamp, indicating that the contents of the article are Officially True within the world of Vaporstory. This can be given to new articles that are well-written and fully consistent with existing canon, but is primarily intended for articles that have existed for some time and are accepted by the community as fact. Articles should not be featured without being given the stamp of canonicity (if that's a word).
• Expected: When the wiki gets big enough that we have trouble keeping track of what's true and what isn't.

• A summary of necessary information.

• Description: As the number of approved canon articles gets larger and larger (see above), it'll become harder and harder for new users to contribute new information, because they'll be more intimidated about putting out information that conflicts with what's already been established. We'll eventually create a page that can summarize what has happened in Vaporstory so far, so that people can start out with a decent understanding of what's going on. It'll probably be in the same vein as Vaporstory:About and Vaporstory:Getting Started, and will have links to important canon articles.
• Expected: Not for a long, long time.
