L5r talk:Imperial Court

Imperial Court
After some discussion, the contents of this page have been moved back to the Main Page, which unfortunately leaves this one serving no purpose once more. So I'd like to hear your suggestions for what to do here. My best idea so far is to put in a section of news for the wiki. My bigest concern is that I don't want it to turn into a message board (because that's what this Talk page is for). So please leave any suggestions or examlpes from other wikis of which you may know. Thank you. --WestonWyse 14:10, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, after over a month of contemplation, I think I have a decent use for this page. Here's to hoping it serves its purpose.  And once I start redirecting comments in my Talk page to here, it just might. --WestonWyse 04:16, 16 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Metadata
For those of you who are not programmers, the term "metadata" means, basically, "information about information". For this Wiki, the data would be information about the people, places, cultures, customs, history, and events of Rokugan and other areas within the World of L5R. Likewise, metadata would be real-world information about the games: game mecahnics, alternate settings, unofficial material, publication information, and the like. Until now, the L5R Wiki has been restricted to in-character information information within the game. But at this point, I think it is safe to open up discussion on the inclusion of certain types of metadata.

Specifically, I would like to test this on source information. We could try including information about the RPG books and CCG sets (release date, price, number of pages/cards, ad copy, included information (for the RPG, mostly), etc.). The material could prove helpful to some, and it would take us a step closer to the set goal of "Everything". Please feel free to voice your opinions on whether or not you feel this is the right time to broaden the scope of this project. If the opinions seem to be positive, then later on I will post a few ideas I have for style and layout. For now, let's see if people would be willing to try this out.

 * Although i would very much like to see a section with card lists for the CCG or a section with RPG schools etc, i feel the "in character" things would become cluttered by the presence of technical data. Perhaps a seperate section for the CCG stuff and a seperate section for the RPG stuff, but still under the same roof as the "canon" story stuff? --Majushi
