The Wiki Fire talk:Formatting, Style, and Organization

I didn't know where to put this, but sense I'm seeking a consensus on this, I thought this was as good a place as any. I'm looking at the most wanted pages list, and the top requests are all "Spring 2007, Winter 2006,", etc. Are these pages neccessary? At this point, it would be easy to go to the 6 or so pages that link to each one of these pages and take out the links, but the longer it goes, the more pages will link to it. I just don't see the purpose of these pages, so I wanted to solicite other people's thoughts. GreatHeights 10:30, 29 June 2007 (CDT)

it might be nice to have an events section for each term. so, you ask "what term was the ambassador from china here?" and you'd find that. and then they'd have the other events from all the different organizations there then. if that doesn't happen, i can't think of any other reason for the page right now. --Afitz 11:26, 29 June 2007 (CDT)

Those are all my fault. What I want to see happen with them is something along the lines of the pages for individual years and days that Wikipedia has, with a list of all the goings-on. User:Yesthatems was talking to me about doing something along those lines over the next few weeks, but if she ends up not doing it then I or somebody else can do it. But I think that, in general, we're aware that a lot goes on in a single term, and if somebody wants to get a sense of the term with trawling Wikifire's entirety then the term and year pages would be a helpful resource. I would envision breaking up the information into sections, like Housing, Classes, Faculty, Club Events, Senate Events, Other Events (e.g. tornadoes, floods, more well-known Campus Safety actions), and then some Miscellaneous or Gossip heading for people to put all their in-jokes under.
