A page dedicated to discussing and directing the development of MagicPedia. As MagicPedia grows, managing the structure and delivery of content will become more and more important. As a community it is important to use this space to point out organization flaws or suggestions to the rest of the community.

Use this space as a forum only limited to MagicPedia, as items become fixed and repaired, place a strike-out line on those comments instead of deleting.

Use this page by creating a head for each topic and commenting as a sub-topic, for example: ''==Discussion Point== ===Response=== (Signature)

Editor/Organizer Needed

I am trying my best to add information and keep it organized, but I don't always understand the process of linking and organizing categories and sub-categories. It would be very helpful if someone more knowledgable in wiki-speak than I am might act as a resource to answer questions about how to link or organize topics, or perhaps review additions from time to time and edit them. Right now, this project is small and simple but soon it will become very large and complex, and now is the time to organize the way it should grow. Spellbinder

Compiled Biographies

It has come to attention that some biographies are being divided into multiple pages. For example, Paul Harris had a biography page and had two linked pages, Paul Harris Tricks and Paul Harris Books. Correct style should hold those minor pages into the overall Paul Harris biography page.

October 25, 2007: Issue discussed, resolved. Pages can be separate, but at least well interlinked. (bradmagic/10.23.2007)

Needed Pages, Needed Categories

It might also be notable that our Wiki has a built in Wanted Pages section as well as a Wanted Categories. These can be a good guide to where the Wiki can also move toward. (Bradmagic 10.25.2007)

Wikipedia transfers

What are your thoughts on moving entire magic related articles from WikiPedia over to MagicPedia? Jpecore 18:03, 4 November 2007 (EST)

MagicPedia Contents

Might be nice to add the following to the MagicPedia Contents on the right hand side of every page:

Amazon.com template

Is anyone working on an Amazon.com template that will link to books by isbn number, but also use the genii id so that genii will get credit for the sale?

Not a direct link (and it doesn't use genii id, but if you just put "ISBN" followed by the isbn-number then MagicPedia automatically create a link to a page for doing lookups. See Erdnase for example.

Magic Historian wiki

How does MagicPedia compare with Magic Historian (http://www.magichistorian.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page) wiki? Should there be some thought differentiating them and/or linking them together?
