Kancolle Wiki:Content and Grammar

This is a page to discuss the ever-ongoing quest to improve the grammar and content of the wiki. Our Trello board for this is here; remember to update the work you're doing there so we can easily keep track of workflow.

Old migrated content

• A quick question: I've been looking to clean up the existing pages that we have, but first I need to confirm what our position on "memes" is. More specifically, I'm referring to the subcultural references that you occasionally find inserted into page content. Are we seeking to build a wiki with serious content, or is it "anything goes" like the old Wikia was? Just confirming with the rest of the contributors before I start deleting these lines as I come across them. --benlisquare_T•C 12:32, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

This was a major complaint of mine on the old wiki; I'd definitely endorse their deletion, though what qualifies as a subcultural reference may be interpreted differently by some users. Wsewolod (talk) 15:41, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

Are there any particularly bad examples that stand out to you? Just curious with what we're dealing with, I only ever used event pages. Tadoritsuita (talk) 20:37, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

I think I speak for all of us when I say, if you find memes in content pages, then they should go. The only place where such a thing should be put is the Trivia section of a shipgirl's profile, or in a similar section that marks it as non-serious. But for the vast majority of the content, I'd like to keep it clean. And no, I don't care if it's a subcultural reference if it's in the middle of the Quests page. There are other places for it. Really, we want to be the best wiki out there, not one full of random, useless jokes that don't actually aid anyone (besides a few petty laughs for the author).
