''Draft WIP - Comments welcome.

{{talk}}

== Project Overview ==

The goal is a full exploration of CIG's lore, an expanded writer's guide with behind the scenes observations. This will be in stark contrast to the eventually available official [[Galactapedia]], which will likely be in character only, and likely only show things the UEE public is supposed to know.

'''Note:''' By full exploration, still mean to attempt to stay in a neutral objective "tone". Provide Wikipedia style analysis of the subject matter.

== Organization ==

Would like to use heavy use of the Category System. All lore articles should be [[:Category:Lore]] (exception: Comm-Link Archive)

Subcategories:

*[[:Category:Characters]]
** [[:Category:Imperators]]
** [[:Category:Senators]]
** etc...
*[[:Category:Organizations]]
** [[:Category:Governments]]
** [[:Category:Government Agencies]]
** [[:Category:Political Parties]] or should this be [[:Category:Political Affiliations]]?
** [[:Category:Companies]]
** etc...
*[[:Category:Historical Events]]
** [[:Category:Wars]]
** [[:Category:Battles]]
** [[:Category:Eras]] (Historical periods, like [[Messer Era]].)

Should this include Systems? Should Systems be Subcategory of Lore?
*[[:Category:Systems]]
**[[:Category:UEE Systems]]
** [[:Category:Planets]]
*** [[:Category:UEE Planets]]
** [[:Category:Satellites]]
** etc

== Formatting ==

Considering a <nowiki>{{Lore}}</nowiki> template to denote pure in lore text. Meaning written from an in-lore perspective, as opposed to simply talking about lore. Maybe  <nowiki>{{LoreQuote}}</nowiki>?

=== Infoboxes ===

We currently have a proposed organization template:

[[Template:Infobox Organization]]

Proposed Character Infobox:

[[Template:Infobox Character]]

These could potentially stand to be developed and do autolinking (and auto-categorization) were possible.

Basic format for Historical Events:

*Name =
*Image =
*Type =
*Start Date =
*End Date =

May have different Infoboxes like Wars and battles, but all should have these fields.

== Example Pages ==

To Be Written.

Candidate Examplars:

*Organization: [[UEE]], [[Advocacy]]
*Characters: [[Corath'Thal]],[[Edward Aemile]]

== Spoiler Policy ==

Good question. We have a spoiler block, so should use for spoilers of the Squadron 42 or PU mission narratives. But mostly for main lore I don't think we should bother. General disclaimers may apply to the Lore Section ("may contain spoilers").
