Wiki discussion is the place where major discussions and decisions can be made. Larger discussions will have their own pages but smaller discussions will go here.

Notability
I feel that the notability policy could do with some tweaks. The current one is at Wikisimpsons:Notability. Any and all criticism will be welcomed. Although, I do stand by the guest star character point there. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 17:53, 20 February 2012 (EST)
Categories
Categories with only one article in are pointless and unwanted. Some categories may gather more articles over time but a lot won't. The exception to this we have at the moment is that guest stars all have a country category, even if they are the only one in that category. Should this stay the same or should it change? ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 17:53, 20 February 2012 (EST)
Unused Templates
We still have a lot of unused templates. Some can be used, some may not be used. If you see any useful templates there, can you please try and use them. I have deleted most of the old, outdated and unneeded templates from there leaving only a few good ones. Thanks, The Solar Dragon (Talk - Contribs.) 04:26, 1 March 2012 (EST)
- I don't about the other, but b should always be substituted, so it shouldn't be used. |

- {{blocked}} is substed, cite web/doc is unnecessary, comicstories templates were recently created, so nobody's changed or added them, move may be used later on, on this day templates depends on the month (>_>), WSL and WW may be used later on, and "You Won whatever" templates are substed. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 10:10, 3 March 2012 (EST)

Wait until the episode airs
Okay, I have seen several character pages created in advance. These are generally for characters who are to appear in a later episode of the season. I think that they should not be created until after the episode airs. Firstly, because they could be considered speculation. The information about the guest star may not be the same for the character for instance. Secondly, it could be false. Look at deadmau5 for instance. We had an article on him and would have assumed he was playing himself. It would have been another bit of false information. Thirdly, the article would be a stub until the episode airs. In some cases, this may be up to a year later. I don't like making stubs unless you absolutely have to.
Just to clarify, guest star articles and episode articles are fine. Appearance articles should however wait until after the episode airs unless characters have been revealed through promo images and episode descriptions. But characters who are to appear in future episodes, as well as locations, media etc. I feel should not have articles until after the episode airs. Many other wikis follow a similar method to this and I feel that it is right. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 18:56, 17 March 2012 (EDT)
