I noticed that you are fond of linking to pages that haven't been written yet. This is fine in and of itself. However, sometimes the redlinks are for nearly-unrelated subjects like [[Nausicaa]] and [[Halo]]. Are you actually planning to write those pages or have someone else do them? Because unless you have some way of tying them directly into Oni, I think we should just be linking to Wikipedia entries on those subjects, like we have done elsewhere. --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 19:56, 5 February 2008 (CET) | I noticed that you are fond of linking to pages that haven't been written yet.

:Take your time to explore this wiki as well as {{OCF}}. You will see that there are plenty more or less random connections to Oni's [[universe]], especially for the Nausicaa graphic novel or [[Ergo Proxy]] (see: [[Miyazaki]], [[BioCrisis]]). | |||
:There are definitely familiar concepts calling for integration with Oni's, in the spirit of the [[Glass Bead Game]]. I would defnitely love to see these connections developed upon (and most often all it takes is a backup of existing forum/chat talk). | |||
:Also note that even in the absence of a direct connection, anything that is part of human [[culture]] has its place on our wiki (see [[Talk:Pain]] or [[Talk:Pride]], for example). It's all potentially relevant at the end of the day, especially to storytelling projects. | |||
:I regard the Wikipedia links as placeholders, since they don't allow us to add value beyond a simple citation. Virtually every link-to-wikipedia (except for technical vocabulary and such) deserves a page on our own wiki, with a mere link to Wikipedia. | |||
