So, I took a hiatus from running the wikia simply because nothing much was happening, I was one of a small few who was running it and my life got hectic, so I couldn't pay attention between work and everything else that was going on.
It's wonderful to see that others picked up the broom and helped clean everything up! I'm excited to see new fans and old coming to make this the best it can be!
Thank you to everyone who updated the wikia in my absence and kept it alive. You guys are rockstars
Hi! My bad, I forgot we had discussions for this, hehe. Re-posting the message I left on the blog:
Hi Scarlet! I'm Nightsilver, this wiki's wiki representative here to assist as your direct link to daily Fandom staff services, and I've been helping cover during your absence. I've had a lot of time to negotiate with your wonderful content moderator, Uxbridge, and I've also been in talks with the Sandman Reddit who graciously agreed to link between the site and theirs in order to attract more visitors in the fan base. The rest of the staff and I would love to hear what your plans are for the organization of the wiki, as well as share some ideas to invigorate this community onward. You can hit me on my message wall or if you have a Discord, you can send me a direct message at Silverwing#9457.
Great to have you back!
I've also done the work of updating the Sandman TV series page, but let me know what I can do!
Thank you for your help and your dedication, Nightsilver! For a long time, I was actually doing this alone, so it's amazing that there are people helping out! I don't have many plans for right now. After I took over, I was mostly just working on fixing up the wiki and adding articles because at the time, there wasn't any real interest in the series. Now that there's a show in the works, I suppose that we could try to prepare for an influx of interest and work on updating the articles as the show goes on. We could also create any articles and categories for any show-exclusive characters that might appear.
Interesting ideas, all very good to cover! The editors from Reddit, @PonyEnglish could help with expanding the various stub articles you have in mind; they've already made articles for individual issues after all! I've also had a similar project on other wikis, we could make a category for show-exclusive as "Netflix characters", albeit the ones that are the "same" character but altered (ex: Lucienne) I've received feedback from Uxbridge, who preferred to keep them in the original article as character sections: https://sandman.fandom.com/wiki/Message_Wall:Uxbridge?threadId=4400000000000043208
However, I'm open to hear how you think we should do this and offer my own advice.
I was actually thinking about that, too. Adding a tv show category to the articles would clear up clutter. I would only add a separate article for Lucienne, seeing as it's mostly a different character; but that's my opinion.
Okey-dokey! I myself have no clue how different Lucienne will be from Lucien, I sense it can swing either way, but it all comes down to what role the character will play in the series. As a solution until then, we can mention Lucien is adapted differently in this version within the TV series' trivia section, and then when the series comes out, decide from there about making a separate article -- that is, unless we can find resources that verify the exact degree of difference between them. What do you think of that?
Aside from Lucienne, I can get started on making the category for Netflix characters if we're in agreement on it (to be applied later perhaps).
That's fair. We should probably wait and see if the character differs enough to warrant a separate section or article.
What do you think?
