Okay so, M.J. Daniels somehow found the test wiki myself and Hyperborean setup.

Basically, I think we can all agree it's a tad silly for there to be three separate wikis for book series that all take place in the same universe. For one, that's diving the communities up, when we could all be in one big place. Yes in the past people have made the argument "What if someone doesn't read all three series? And things such as that."

Well to counter that argument, not everyone reads every DC Comic, and the main line of comics all take place in the same universe, the same for Marvel, and yet the wikis cover all the comics released by their respective publishers. Also, the Arrow & The Flash Wiki cover all shows set in the same universe. Some people only watch The Flash, and not Arrow, yet they cover both. The point is, they can discuss and edit the pages relevant to the series they read. No one would have to read all three series to be able to edit on the wiki.

With that said an array of excellent ideas have been brainstormed for a potential wiki. We're using the Avatar Wiki as our model to a degree, and here's some of the things that have been tossed around:

It's the same infobox, but when you put Greek, Roman, or Egyptian in the pantheon field, the background changes it's color.
 * New Infoboxes. The new infoboxes can be seen:
 * Here
 * Here
 * And here.
 * In-Universe articles. Articles written from an In-Universe perspective, are higher quality.
 * Sourcing images. I think everyone needs to source the images they upload, with either the Fair Use template, or the source template that will be made.
 * An overall neater and cohesive wiki. I think we can all admit there's a bit of junk on the Camp Half-Blood and Kane Chronicles Wiki. Whether it be duplicate images, or redundant categories, it'd be our goal to eliminate that here. There's also pages for Kane Characters on the CHB Wiki, and PJ Characters on the Kane Wiki. That's another reason why one wiki would be best, on those said pages one each wikis, we only have tidbits of what they each did in the crossovers, when instead we could have their full biographies on one wiki.


 * The wiki won't slowly die off. If we have one wiki covering all the series, we won't be dying off anytime soon. We have future crossovers, graphic novels, the Magnus Chase series, and a potential third PJO series. We'd be alive and well for a good while.

What would everyone think about a potential Rickipedia or Riordan Wiki, for all three series?
