Ideas? Anyone read the thing and know the major characters, such that would have independent significance outside the work? There may not be any. - CrazyRussian talk/email 20:43, 17 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
Other than Martin the Warrior, Matthias, and possibly Cregga Rose-eyes I believe the rest of the characters would be best dealt with by merging into lists. Cluny only appears in one book. Also, as far as reading the thing goes, I think I've read every book up until the second latest one at least twice and personally own nearly all of them. --tjstrf 21:02, 17 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
How shall we structure Wikipedia:WikiProject Redwall/List of Redwall characters: by book? by species? alphabetically? - CrazyRussian talk/email 21:02, 17 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
(de-indenting) I'm noticing that someone at some point already organized some characters by recurring role. For example, Abbey Leader (Redwall), Birds in Redwall (already a start of a species list), Badger Mother. That's potentially a fourth way to do it. ~ ONUnicorn (Talk / Contribs) 14:12, 24 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
Maybe you guys didn't see this, but a project already exists... - Anon
Guys, I totally agree with anon btw. The material over there in GFDL. We can just incorporate them by reference and link them throughout. They can hold the cruft over there, and we can keep just the books, the main characters, and a list of characters without particulars but with links to the RW wiki. I've seen that done with Gundam stuff and 9/11 obituaries. As long as the license is free, the KNOWLEDGE is PRESERVED for GENERATIONS TO COME and for JIMBO'S CHILD IN AFRICA (perish the thought of him reading about fake squirrels, but...) - - - to quote the condom-promoting horse, my job is done here! - CrazyRussian talk/email 15:15, 18 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
In response to the anon, I believe the point is to centralize things. The purpose of having Redwall articles here rather is that it be all sorted and encyclopedic. Otherwise we might as well just have a stub that says "Redwall is the titular novel of an 18(?) book series by author Brian Jacques. If you want to read about it in any more detail than this, go to Wikia, these 43 fansites, and your local library" --tjstrf 22:06, 18 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. Also, I note that yours is a comparatively new project. You may be interested in the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Guide, which has a lot of information regarding project organization from several of the most successful WikiProjects. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 19:45, 26 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
I made a template to add to Redwall articles like the other wikiprojects have. I did not include any of the parameters for rating the articles because I really have no clue what I'm doing with templates. Considering that I think a lot of the Redwall articles should ultimately be merged and redirected so that there end up being far fewer articles (and far more redirects) it would be nice to have some sort of parameter on the template to say, "this article should be merged" or "this article can stand alone". Maybe where other wikiprojects have ratings? What do other people think? ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs) 15:18, 21 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
Beginning to add the project template to various articles I noticed that Category:Redwall has several articles about on-line fan websites. Most of the articles about the books themselves are in subcategories, so in essence most of Category:Redwall is fansite articles. Any idea what should be done about these? I'd like to eventually reduce the total number of non-redirect articles so that we don't need subcategories for characters, etc. However, if we re-arrange it so that all or most Redwall articles are just in Category:Redwall it almost seems like it would be silly to have fansites in that category. Perhaps we would then need a subcategory for fansites? Perhaps we need that now? ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs) 15:32, 21 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 17:37, 29 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
Hey all, it looks like there hasn't been any real activity in here for a while, but hopefully this will still be seen. I've been doing some behind the scenes work of late; I made articles for Fortunata, Shang Damsontongue, Dingeye, Thura, Bloodwrath, Midge Manycoats, and started a proper one for Verdauga Greeneyes.
I also spent all night making all the articles listed under the "Redwall characters" category consistent; bold name with a one line intro including the book they appeared in, as well as any and all actors that voiced them in the audiobooks or animated series. Then a few paragraphs for the body, linking wherever I could to other Redwall articles. Then I made sure to include the Redwall template at the bottom of each.
Hope this is okay with everyone. I've also been making a lot of changes to the List of species in Redwall article. Anyway, I'd love some feedback on my talk page or any of the talk pages of articles that I've made or been changing. Thanks! GlassCobra 12:31, 4 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
We probably need a better 'to-do' list. I've already added the Redwall template to all the articles currently in the list, so that's done. What else can we do? Ideas anyone?--Song 17:24, 19 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
Okay, well I've been looking at some of our participants' contribution records, and some people on the list haven't been on here on months, or even years. Thus, to reduce membership to people who are actually around, I'll be conducting a roll call of all members. I'll be moving all members to a Potentially Active list, and then leaving messages on everyone's talk pages to come and add their names back to the Active list. If there's no response within a few days, your name will be moved to the Inactive list, but it can be moved back to the Active list at any time. Please don't be offended if you just joined, this is only to figure out who's active and who's not, okay? Thanks everyone! GlassCobra 18:12, 23 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
Alright guys, the roll call has been concluded. I've moved the users that were left on the Potentially Active list to the Inactive list. Like I said, though, anyone can add themselves back to the Active list at any time. GlassCobra (talk • contribs) 14:48, 3 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
This image is specifically stated as able to be used for whatever purpose as long as the creator is credited. Can we make use of it somehow? We'll probably need an image for the portal; also, we need one for the userbox and other templates. Thoughts? GlassCobra (talk • contribs) 02:20, 4 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
Alright, I suppose here is as good a place as any to have this debate. Basically, it seems to me that transwiking is, well, a rather stupid idea. Seeing as Wikipedia is not paper, I can't think of any reason that content doesn't belong here as well as on a more focused wiki. I completely agree with the quote from Jimbo that says『Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's what we're doing.』Now, obviously there are some limits; Wikipedia will never be a place for things made up in school one day or for every band that some random 8th graders make up, but I see no reason why we should not have comprehensive, detailed coverage about the characters and books of this fantastic series. Thoughts? I'd like to hear some deletionist-leaning perspectives especially. I'd also really like for people to add this page to their watchlists, if they haven't already; I want as many voices as we can get in this debate. Thanks. GlassCobra 08:18, 30 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
Since we're discussing effeciency, don'tcha think it's rather ineffecient to have this argument each time something along these lines happens? Why does user 79.76.20 etc care if we chose to waste our time on creating a duplicate of something that already exists? I certainly have no intention of deleting all Redwall articles here, and I'm sure nobody else does either. I think. Also, I've learned that when more then one person reads a book, you end up with more then one version of the story. Each version is a little bit different, and each person get different meanings from the same thing. When the two (or more) versions are shared, each person's knowledge is enriched and enhanced by the other person's viewpoint. Generally speaking, of course. It's not hurting anything for us to create our version of this information, and we can learn from each other if we cooperate. (FYI, sorry for dissapearing, but I won't be on very much. School and other stuff is taking up all of my time. I'll come on when possible. I probably won't be able to help a lot, but I can do behind-the-scenes stuff. A bit. Time pressures are great.)

Dear WikiProject Redwall participants...WikiProject Media franchises needs some help from other projects which are similar. Media franchises' scope deals primarily with the coordination of articles within the hundreds if not thousands of media franchises which exist. Sometimes a franchise might just need color coordination of the various templates used; it could mean creating an article for the franchise as a jump off point for the children of it; or the creation of a new templating system for media franchise articles. The project primarily focuses on multimedia franchises. It would be great if some of this project's participants would come over and help the project get back on solid footing. Also, if you know of similar projects which have not received this, let Lady Aleena (talk · contribs) know. Please come and take a look at the project and see if you wish to lend a hand. You can sign up here if you wish. Thank you. LA @ 05:10, 10 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
Dear WikiProject Redwall participants...WikiProject Media franchises is currently discussing a naming convention for franchise articles. Since this may affect one or more articles in your project, we would like to get the opinions of all related projects before implimenting any sweeping changes. Please come and help us decide. Thanks!

I am a constant reader of this series and noticed that the Doomwyte page was lacking, so I looked at other pages and saw that they could be better and up to date. I have a question. How can we have a page on Midge Manycoats, but not a page on Tammo? He is the main character of the book. Midge is just a supporting character. Alphasquadron138 (talk) 13:20, 9 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
I agree. If Midge has a page and Tammo doesn't, he definatly deserves one. The Blue Wolf 05:36, 13 July 2009 (UTC) Bluewolf —Preceding unsigned comment added by The Blue Wolf (talk • contribs)
Hello Wikiproject! Currently there is a discussion which will decide whether wikipedia will delete 49,000 articles about a living person without references, here:
Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Biographies of living people
Since biographies of living people covers so many topics, nearly all wikiproject topics will be effected.
The two opposing positions which have the most support is:
Comments are welcome. Keep in mind that by default, editor's comments are hidden. Simply press edit next to the section to add your comment.
Please keep in mind that at this point, it seems that editors support deleting unreferenced article if they are not sourced, so your project may want to pursue the projects below.
If you don't already have this and are interested in creating a list of articles which need cleanup for your wikiproject see: Cleanup listings A list of examples is here
If you are interested in moving unreferenced blp articles to a special "incubation page", contact me, User talk:Ikip
If you are interested in watchlisting all of the unreferenced articles once you install Cleanup_listings, contact me, User talk:Ikip

Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:48, 1 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
Hello everyone!
You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.
