TheNexusProject/UnwrittenLinks

Unwritten Links

This is a list of entries to which there are links in existent entries, but which haven't been written yet.

You can call dibs on an unwritten entry by making a note with your name and the date / time next to its name. Dibs last for a maximum of 48 hours. Once you are done with an entry, please remove it from this list.

The best way to find the entries which have cited a link that you want to complete is to use the Wiki-search function.

It would be awesome if people would add unwritten links from their own entries.

(By the way, it's considered polite to add your links to this list using a minor edit.)

Comments

I did all the links from the Singular People of Note in the Index, then lost patience. Hope you guys are willing to add those from your own entries ...
~ Shataina

Did the whole lot, including direct references. Unlinked references I really couldn't be bothered with. - Moxiane

Wow! Well done. By the way, I think you missed a question of mine on the main page -- do you think it's okay to write entries about things that have long backstories elsewhere (e.g. PCs)?
~ Shataina

Sure. If the (N)PC is Nexus-related then no worries. However... the implication of the entries is that the main body is publicly-available and generally accurate, the rumours are easy to track down and of varying veracity and the secret is difficult to find and definitely accurate. If you can get a PC in under those lines then that's great. - Moxiane

We have 68 unwritten links, by my count. Maybe there should be a moratorium on new links for a while, or maybe we should let one or two exemplary people (MelWong or Moxiane, perhaps) do "binding" entries to keep things under control. -EJGRgunner

I don't really think that that's necessary. Part of my goal when starting this was to make it spread out wildly, and the unwritten links help with that. The only real problem is when you get links like the one forThe Great Nexus Fire, which has been referenced now in 6 entries - each of which largely disqualifies the author from tackling it. I fully expected from DayOne that there would be links that would never be written, and this is just a part of that. At the same time, if you want to write up links listed here and only reference other pre-made open links, then that's also fine. You don't have to add new open links if you don't wanna. - Moxiane

My only concern is that with things being so unwieldy, people might be discouraged from joining in. - EJGRgunner

Why don't we just say that only the person who invented a given unwritten link is disallowed from writing it? Hence, I couldn't write Radiant Spear or Interwoven Avenue, but anyone else could, even if they first referenced them somewhere else. I don't see any reason to disallow everyone who references an unwritten link from writing it.
~ Shataina

Hey Moxiane, I'm not sure if you already know this, but it looks like you used an unnecessary amount of effort editing out the spam last time so I figured I'd note it just in case ... if you click on the link for the revision that happened right before the spammer hit a certain page, it'll allow you to edit directly from that revision so that you don't have to copy/paste or whatever.
~ Shataina

Thanks. I wasn't sure how to do it. - Moxiane pissed at the spammer

I motion that we institute a rule that states that you can't dib a new entry unless you've completed your previous outstanding dibs. It's unfair to let people dib multiple times at once, and it also seems unfair to me to allow people to dib at all if they have a record of not following through -- all that accomplishes is disallowing other people who might actually write the entry. The purpose of the "dibs" rule is to keep other people from writing an entry that you're already working on, after all, not to prevent other people from doing so if you're not even sure what you'll do with it. (Note, BrilliantRain, please don't be offended -- this isn't aimed solely at you and isn't intended as a criticism or attack on your character or whatever, although I'll admit that you inspired it.)
~ Shataina

Hmm, I don't know, Shataina... What if you have a great idea for an entry, and you're working on it, but then you get a great idea for another entry and you just have to finish that one before you can go back to the first one? I'm pretty sure I've done that (but then, my thought processes tend to jump around - and no comments please on the relative "greatness" of my entries, because that's not what I mean ^_~). Maybe no more than two entries dibsed at a time? There are a lot of unwritten entries, and I'm not sure that instituting a rule that potentially discourages dibsing is the best move. I wonder if it would be better to rely on basic wiki courtesy to keep people from just putting dibs on a bunch of entires at once? Because putting in a rule is trusting wikizens to follow it out of courtesy anyway. -Okensha

None taken. I admit I've been a bit lax lately. I would point out, though that they do expire and I don't mind somone taking one if I've left it for a while. I'll try to complete my outstanding claims in the next week, assuming no-one else wants them. I didn't realise it was that big of a problem actually, as there are tons of unwritten links and dibbs only last for 2 days. --BrilliantRain

Yeah, you're right, my suggestion is a bit hardcore, Okensha, and we might as well tone it down. (And don't worry, I had no intention of complimenting your entries again, you've had apparently too much praise from me. ;) It isn't really a major problem, BrilliantRain, except that people are often unwilling to write dibsed entries even when the dibs have run out. Basically, I have no problem with people who haven't followed through on previous dibs writing entries -- I'm just not sure it's a good idea for them to dibs things, you know? I just want to keep the dibs rule from becoming something that discourages writers more than it aids efficiency.
~ Shataina

I would agree that probably a lot of people are reluctant to write a dibsed entry, even if they know th dibs has expired... -Okensha

That is a good point. I know that I am reluctant to take over a dibbsed entry myself. So why not create a rule or policy or something that, if a particular dibbs claim has expired, you leave a message asking for the page and if it isn't answered in another 48 hours, you are free to take the page anyway. or something. And I'm going to get that statue finished tonight or totally erase everything there and let anyone have it if they want it--BrilliantRain

I like that idea, asking if it's okay to take over an expired dibs, and waiting the same amount of time as takes a dibs to expire also seems right. -Okensha

I messed up when adding a link, and -- in a rush -- forgot to check it as a minor change. So, this one will be marked as minor. -ThatWhichMoves

I really quite like this project, and I do believe I will start to dive in on some of these unwritten links. - TheHoverpope
