Deus Ex Wiki talk:Community Portal

Welcome to the Deus Ex Wiki. I would like to start getting the community established so we can get this wikia off the ground finally.

Game categorization
There are various ways that people have been specifying what weapon (and probably other items) belong to which series. e.g. some weapons are appended with (DX) to denote that it's the original. I would suggest that rather than this method a single page for each weapon with the differences listed for each game. A different method would be needed for e.g. characters as most of these don't carry over.Cameron Brewis 17:23, 17 March 2009 (UTC)


 * How about like the new Leo page, that uses short tag in front of the article to show which game it from for new disambiguation pages from now on?--User:Blood sliver 17:40, 17 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Also, what i mean by like uesp is how in depth do you want the wiki, and about what. The main thing is that we could make a walk threw for the game, it ranging from just a basic list of your objectives on the levels, or a step by step guide. I just wanted to use uesp because it is so far the best example of the 2 I could think of.--User:Blood sliver 17:47, 17 March 2009 (UTC)


 * With regards to characters though I would suggest to only create a disambiguation page such as Leo if the ambiguous handle is a common occurrence within the game world.Cameron Brewis 17:55, 17 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I am a fan of uesp myself, and do like the layout.  The main problem with adopting their format is the lack of articles currently on this wiki.  UESP adopts a main page that doesn't have a list of pages, it uses a set of featured pages and expects the user to search for the rest.  With regards to the matter of the walk through that sounds fine.  I would suggest creating a walk through index page for each game having the list of levels/directions that the player could take, either each on their own pages or using the bookmark format (#).  Make sure all walk through pages are clearly marked as spoilers though because I am sure you will agree that discovering the story in Deus Ex is one of the best parts of the game.Cameron Brewis 17:55, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
