User blog comment:JetCell/Wiki news: merge and overhaul/@comment-173.22.14.178-20120702215721/@comment-5065259-20120721185358

anyways, i have a set of rules that i was planning to bring over that addresses the issue of vandals and arguments. jet won't let me bring them over-scaring people off. i asked her to point out problems but no answer. if you want, take a look and add any ideas for improvement. also as of now, only jet can rollback; both of us can't do as much.

i highly recommend that once articles are finished, that we lock them for now until all improvements are done. otherwise, the constant counter productive edits will continue and we will get no where-back to square 1.

For the off brand articles, i grabbed as much useful info from nerf mods & reviews and nerfipedia-only facts. Anything else that was left out, i was unable to grab. so if you left it out, i was unable to get it. sonic bazooka was not on your wiki/barely any info (under the main off brand), cosmic thruster i did get-though barely any info. These articles were written based off article layouts, now it doesn’t exactly meet standards (in a hurry). i didn't grab color scheme/history, if you want to add a few smaller pages of off brand that's fine. i still think adding the serie name in front would be better-less disambiguation templates, they get annoying.

news, did you know, faq, nerf terminology, rules, guidelines, official sources all need to be brought over. once improvements and policy are in place, I will add off brand articles. I did fix the forum though. guidelines will replace article standards +layouts while rules are needed unless we want a free for all battle with vandals. official sources will be independent of guidelines, I want people to see it-I know there is nerfer info, its more useful here than on a separate page (I have links as well). Forum, rules, guidelines, official sources, about should be lines on the homepage. If you want more details on what I want to bring over, take a look at the wiki I made. Just bring over the rules, no need for warning templates. Only minor vandalism/spam will get a warning. If it’s a large scale attack, then ban them for a good amount of time (couple months). I read captain riley’s history of nerf wiki, we are slowing going back to the beginning if jet doesn’t act fast. She doesn’t know it but it’s starting to happen-might be due to the upcoming merge.

For reviews and modification, that should not be the main priority.
