== Copying information from the Fandom wiki ==

Is there a policy anywhere on this? I assume it's allowed as it's so for Wikipedia but slightly discouraged so as to make this wiki not a duplicate of the Fandom wiki but still fit for purpose which necessitates a level of similitude.

:We try to avoid copying from other wikis to minimize the potential for plagiarism accusations. Pokemon Wikia, as an example, has been caught copying entire articles from Bulbapedia. We don't want to open the door for similar things to happen to us. [[User:Tacopill|Tacopill]] ([[User talk:Tacopill|talk]]) 02:30, September 20, 2023 (UTC)
::Alright then, thanks. [[User:Lennethinian|Lennethinian]] ([[User talk:Lennethinian|talk]]) 05:28, September 20, 2023 (UTC)
:::Yeah, I would advise against copying from the Fandom wiki, that's been grounds for article deletion in the past. (See the notice on the currently-nonexistent [[Warmech]] page, for instance) --[[User:Zeal|Zeal]] ([[User talk:Zeal|talk]]) 19:15, September 20, 2023 (UTC)

== Standardized articles for subjects ==

I think this would be a great help in making the wiki uniform. Here's what I've come up with: https://finalfantasywiki.com/wiki/User:Lennethinian/sandbox/sample_character_article
I've been looking at the Mario Wiki for ideas and will look into other affiliate wikis to see if their format is something that can work for this one.

-:That's a project I've been wanting to take on for a while as well but it'd be pretty overwhelming for just me, I'd definitely welcome the assistance and look forward to seeing what you come up with~ –[[User:Zeal|Zeal]] ([[User talk:Zeal|talk]]) 16:28, September 22, 2023 (UTC)
