== Fan community namespace == | |||
Years ago we had the idea to expand our coverage to [[/Archive 1#Coverage Expansion|fan projects]], I was in support of it back then and still am now, however it didn't get far. Furthermore I didn't push it as I realized we had a lot of stuff to catch up on for the official games. Now, our articles are in a much better state compared to before so I think it's worth going back to this. | |||
The reasons the same as before: we can expand our coverage and bring in more editors. EarthBound is known for it's dedicated community to the point where even [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EarthBound_fandom?wprov=srpw1_0 Wikipedia has an article on the fandom], and stuff like this would be a popular subject. And being an EarthBound wiki it feels off to not at least acknowledge dedicated community (outside of small mentions like how we say "EarthBound has a dedicated following" on several pages). It can also give us an edge over other wikis like EarthBound Wikia, as (to my knowledge) there aren't any other places that cover the fan community in wiki format, giving us more exposure. This will mean we're heading into unofficial territory, but this wiki isn't official and shouldn't be a problem, plus this can be similar to how SmashWiki has articles on [https://www.ssbwiki.com/Category:Competitive_play competitive play], something that is not officially endorsed by Nintendo. | |||
I will, however, express the concern that allowing coverage on fan projects can open the floodgates to covering all sorts of content regardless of quality and relevance. A few guidelines I propose, with more that should come, are the following: | |||
*'''Relevance''': An obvious one, but the content ''must'' be directly related to EarthBound; stuff like indie EarthBound-inspired games like Undertale or Oddity are out of the question for coverage. | |||
*'''Notability''': The project must have some recognition in the community. Something like Mother: 25th Anniversary Edition would be appropriate, a small niche ROM hack of an EarthBound game is not. | |||
I would like to see what others think so please leave your thoughts, as well as suggest guidelines for making sure the content we cover is up to standards. --<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS">'''''[[User:Ultimate Toad|<font color="dodgerblue">Ultimate</font>]] [[User talk:Ultimate Toad|<font color="red">Toad</font>]]'''''</span> [[File:Toadsig.png|20px|link=Special:contributions/Ultimate Toad]] 02:46, 26 January 2024 (UTC) | |||
