During the meeting, it was briefly touched upon about the closing of projects. It is generally agreed that the projects are unused, and that the only one that ever really worked, until it suffered coordination problems, was Re-Watch. So, discuss below, whether we should keep projects or not.--Cook879 18:01, 18 February 2012 (EST)
Discussion
Maybe what's needed is a change in nomenclature. The Projects pages contain lots of good information about how to write articles that fall under the projects' various aegises, so they do serve as an effective style guide. Maybe we just need to call them style guide pages rather than projects, and make sure that each page has at least one active editor looking after it to make sure they stay current and adapt to any changes in how we operate. -- Mythigator 18:21, 18 February 2012 (EST)
- I think they have a chance to be successful if more people would sign up and more people would participate in helping each project. Get rid of the most inactive and least efficient projects currently and if the other ones don't improve in activity and aren't efficient either, we should eventually remove them also.

- Maybe we should rename them Style Guides like Myth said. The truth is we're too small (it's only like 15 regular editors) to have Projects work the way they should—that's why it's always just the Project Leader working on the project. Project Re-watch worked, I believe, because it was easy to participate, so everyone did: just rewatch the episode, and see what needed to be done. And more over, it wasn't restricted to one area of the wiki, like the Projects are.
- Project Episodes might be of some use, as we were just talking about adding more tabs, but the rest never accomplish anything. The main thing, however, is that we need to be deciding on policies/guidelines together as a community, like we're doing now. (As you all know, I often try to have discussions pertaining to the wiki as a whole, and usually no one else participates, as in offering up their own ideas, but editors will bicker over policies and such on user talk pages. That's why I suggest a Wiki Convention, which would be nothing more than a month (or two-month) long discussion open to any and all aspects of the wiki.)
- What do you guys think? One idea: Combine all the Projects (except Episodes and Re-watch) into one, possibly divided into parts, for the characters, locations, etc. TheUnderfaker 18:49, 19 February 2012 (EST)
- I think remaking them into guides would be good.--Cook879 18:06, 24 February 2012 (EST)
