==Temple of Creation (Okoto)==
== Rename [[The Final Battle Animation]] to The Rise of Mata Nui.  ==
The Temple of Creation houses the Great Forge, is the workplace of the Mask Makers, and is the scene of the defeat of Kulta. I daresay there's more information for it than a lot of G2 articles we currently do have, and, as has been previously noted, G2 can afford more pages.
 
Along with this, "Temple of Creation" would presumably become a disambiguation and the current Temple of Creation would be renamed "Temple of Creation (Po-Koro))" or something along those lines. --[[User:777stairs|777stairs]] ([[User talk:777stairs|talk]]) 19:05, 7 January 2017 (CET)


===Yes===
Per Advance's official Youtube account, the video is called The Rise of Mata Nui [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMLAKtT2HKk] as seen here. I suggest we change the name accordingly, since it's an official name from the guys that actually made the short film.

Thanks for not simply putting yes/no as the voting section titles haha. whoever nominated this should sign their name to the nomination, because that counts as a vote, and we don't want to be double counting. it needs 6 votes in addition to the nomination.
 
As for the actual issue at hand here, i'm inclined to agree with the nomination, but do we know why we originally called it the final battle animation? was it called that on bioncle.com, or is that simply something we made up?
:We have G1-G2 pages for Toa, Hook Blades etc. We also have and use GenTabs in some cases for example for Ta-Wahi (which means Fire Region in G1) and the Region of Fire (the fire region of G2) or for Teridax and G2 Makuta. So it's more simple. :D -- '''[[User:Surel-nuva|<font color="DARKBLUE">Surel</font><font color="DARKRED">-</font><font color="GOLDENROD">Nuva</font>]] <small>([[User talk:Surel-nuva|<font color="#8A7F8D">''Talk''</font>]])</small>''' 20:21, 7 January 2017 (CET)

:Oh right forgot to sign it when I made the nomination. Well I already voted so whatever. Also, remember that back in 2008 videos hardly were 1080p 4k Ultra-HD quality. They weren't the norm as they are now. I'm sure Ghost has a higher resolution and quality video when they made it but they'll probably never release it. --- '''[[User:Creep Of The Deep|<font color="blue">Creep</font>]]''' 03:29, 18 April 2017 (CET)

== Change [[Dekar-Hydraxon]] to Hydraxon (Duplicate) ==


Okay, this isn't '''THAT''' big of a deal, but it's still something that bothers me. I'm not a big fan of the Dekar-Hydraxon name. It's a mouthful to say, it sounds odd when in the middle of a page section there's a "And then Dekar-Hydraxon punched Nocturne in the face" or stuff like that, it breaks the flow for me. So it's worth a try. It sounds better to me too, but yeah, that.
== Move all fan-created canon stories from "Saga Guides/[title] by [author]" to "[title]" ==


===Yes===
The current title format for fan-written stories (such as [[Saga Guides/Decadence by Dorek]]) is a bit strange. They're grouped under Saga Guides, but they're not saga guides, they're short stories. Stories by Greg follow the "[title]" format, so why should it be different for fan-written canon stories? -- '''[[User:Morris the Mata Nui Cow|<font color="#f11f1f">Morris the Mata Nui Cow</font>]]''' ([[User talk:Morris the Mata Nui Cow|talk]]) 02:44, 4 May 2017 (CET)

6 yes, so... It is decided? --- '''[[User:Creep Of The Deep|<font color="blue">Creep</font>]]''' 07:08, 5 March 2017 (CET)
Given that these are fan created stories, i think we should still note the author - i.e. [title by author] instead of simply [title]. if we removed saga guide from their title, would we also have to remove them from the saga guides' navigation box? if so, where would we put them? i know i only found those stories back in the day through those saga guides links, so i don't think we should make them harder for readers to find.
 
:Wait, I thought that the six votes rule only applied when the other option had none. Am I mistaken? '''[[User:OnionShark|<font color="black">~</font><font color="castletongreen">OnionShark</font>]]''' 11:43, 5 March 2017 (CET)
 
::We don't have new rules set in stone yet, but that was the thinking. There were 6 for yes and 0 for no at one point (see [http://biosector01.com/wiki/index.php?title=BIONICLEsector01_talk:Articles_for_Creation&oldid=119008 this edit]), but one of those yes votes is from Angel Bob, who proposed the change, so I could see the argument that 7 yes votes and 0 no would be required in this case. Let's let Dorek weigh in on this one or wait for 8 yes votes before doing anything. -- '''[[User:Morris the Mata Nui Cow|<font color="#f11f1f">Morris the Mata Nui Cow</font>]]''' ([[User talk:Morris the Mata Nui Cow|talk]]) 19:19, 5 March 2017 (CET)
 
:::In response to 777stairs' vote, what about merging the page with Dekar? I know this has been discussed in the past, and Dorek opposed it; but I think it would satisfy what the Yes voters here are after. I personally have always thought it's very strange that we have two pages for him. Even if his mind was affected in the transformation, it's clear from published materials that he's still the same being on the inside. --[[User:Angel Bob|Angel Bob]] ([[User talk:Angel Bob|talk]]) 06:02, 6 March 2017 (CET)
 
::::It ''could'' work, have a tab in the infobox so it switches between Dekar and Hydraxon. But at the same time, Dekar =/= New!Hydraxon. I '''really''' don't know what to do. He is Dekar, but at the same time, you can't say "Hydraxon is Dekar" because he's a literal copy of the original. It's like the original never died. <br> Like Hydraxon himself said, ''"It doesn't matter who I was before. What counts is who I am now - Hydraxon. Your enemy. Your jailer... Your nightmare for 90 millennia, and for every day that's left to you."'' (God this character is great I love him.) --- '''[[User:Creep Of The Deep|<font color="blue">Creep</font>]]''' 07:08, 6 March 2017 (CET)
 
If we change anything, i think we should merge the page with the dekar page. they're the same character, it's just that he got turned into a copy of another character and was given his memories. as far as the 6 votes thing goes, i think onionshark was right when he said that 6 votes is sufficient only when there's no no votes. personally, i think that no and yes votes should cancel each other out for lack of a better term, and just say we need a majority of 6 votes to do something, unless it's been up for a certain period of time and not enough people have voted, then simple majority wins. really though we should just open another section on this page just for that discussion haha.[[User:Intelligence4|Intelligence4]] ([[User talk:Intelligence4|talk]]) 19:05, 6 March 2017 (CET)

::I think we can just leave the page as "dekar", and add all the stuff from the merged page to his history section. (the merged page will have to become a redirect, i assume.) we can also have a notice on hydraxon's page; one of the ones where it's like "you may be looking for his duplicate created by the mask of life" and then that can link to a "dekar-hydraxon" section on dekar's page.

== Create a page about Harvali ==
 
Harvali is the archeologist featured in Revenge of the Skull Spiders. I haven't finished the book yet, I'm by page 65, but so far Harvali seems important enough for a page.

:1) We could add them to the online story navigation box, all the official serials and short stories are there. 2) They were written for contests in which the winning stories would become canon, so yes. 3) The banners were chosen from pre-existing images, but I'm pretty sure the original versions didn't have them. Does anyone know why they were added? '''[[User:OnionShark|<font color="black">~</font><font color="castletongreen">OnionShark</font>]]''' 10:22, 6 May 2017 (CET)
Also, I noticed that among the Saga Guides are Birth of a Dark Hunter and The Crossing, should we change their titles too? They could go in the guides nav because BoaDH was in the Encyclopedia and TC was in the Glatorian mini books.

Revision as of 13:18, 6 May 2017

BIONICLE Facebook Page

Page will be made.

This wiki should probably have some way of referencing the happenings of the Bionicle Facebook page, which often releases images and videos that are either exclusive or are not released on another source until later and hosts events such as contests. Bionicle websites have articles so it should seem logical that the facebook page should as well. Even if a page is not made, there should be some way of referencing events that unfold on the facebook page as well as images, videos, and other content. This could mean a nav template or a category of some form. Post your thoughts.

Someone wanna get cracking on a sandbox for this? --Angel Bob (talk) 19:47, 31 October 2016 (CET)

Tuma's Sword

So does anyone think Tuma's Sword could use its own article?--Wiriamu (talk) 06:23, 4 November 2016 (CET)

Yes

  1. Personally don't see why not, although we don't have too much info on it. --777stairs (talk) 05:58, 12 November 2016 (CET)
  2. Might as well. -- Toa Jala Converse 07:19, 12 December 2016 (CET)

No

  1. I don't think it merits a page, it doesn't do anything, not even what the Vahki Staffs or the Longswords could do. -- SurelNuva (Talk) 21:09, 5 March 2017 (CET)
  2. Having a page for Mata Nui's sword is handy because it contains the history of the weapon and its functionality. A hypothetical Tuma's Sword page wouldn't say anything a reader can't infer from looking at it. --Angel Bob (talk) 05:56, 6 March 2017 (CET)
  3. I don't think this is necessary

Comments

I think Tuma's sword is just the leader class variation of the Skrall Tribal Design Blade, and the Star Skrall's sword is also a variant of the Skrall Tribal Design Blades. So why don't we reformat the Skrall Tribal Design Blades page because all the Swords/Blades of the Skrall are their Skrall Tribal Design tools. -- Surel-Nuva (Talk) 11:33, 4 November 2016 (CET)
I think STDBs refer to that weird alien pattern on the standard Skrall blades. Tuma's is something different.
Don't really think it merits a page, though. -- Dorek Talk External Image 19:11, 5 November 2016 (CET)
Literally, everything what we know about it:
A large blended black-and-lime sword carried by Tuma.
He used it to challenge Mata Nui.
It consist of 3 pieces.
Status: Destroyed (according to the book) / In use (according to the movie) (which one?).
Function: Melee combat.
User: Tuma (formerly?).
That is not enough. -- SurelNuva (Talk)
In the Legend Reborn book it was destroyed. "Summoning all his remaining strength, Mata Nui brought his blade down in a final sweeping blow, shattering Tuma's weapon to bits." I would put it on the STDBs page as Surel-nuva suggested. --WOLKsite (talk) 20:43, 24 March 2017 (CET)
It would be logical, that a leader-class Skrall have a larger type of the STDB. And in the movie the sword isn't destroyed, so we don't even know the correct status of it... — SurelNuva (Talk) 20:57, 24 March 2017 (CET)

Addition of Fansite

Given that we have BZPower on here, I feel it only right to put Mask of Destiny on as well, and perhaps even The Toa's Hideout. However, Mask of Destiny actually has a good reason, as it is actually the longest running BIONICLE fansite with a forum on the web.

--User:Baxor

Yes

  1. -- Intelligence4 (talk) 03:04, 9 January 2017 (CET) A thorough documentation of fansites isn't a bad idea IMO.

No

Don't forget to sign your proposals, y'all. also, can we assume that, unless stated otherwise during the duration of the discussion, a proposal counts as a vote? meaning that if 6 people put their username under the yes section but one of them is the proposal writer, then there are in fact only 5 people who are voting yes. (avoiding the proposer's vote double counting.)Intelligence4 (talk) 19:34, 6 March 2017 (CET)

BioMedia Project

As it is a fairly extensive collection of Bionicle Generation 1 media, it seems like a page for BioMedia Project might be a worthwhile addition. To be honest, I'm not sure about some of their content, such as full scans of the various G1 comics-I'm not an expert but it seems like a copyright question-but what do y'all think?--Wiriamu (talk) 08:31, 17 December 2016 (CET)

Page will be made.

Comments

The only problem with copyright would be the scans of Glatorian Comics 3-7, as those were never published for free online. --OnionShark 21:19, 6 January 2017 (CET)

I'm pretty sure they were somewhere for free, considering I've read them and didn't have a comic subscription at the time they were published. I don't think it's an issue. Intelligence4 (talk) 03:06, 9 January 2017 (CET)
Maybe you read scans on brickshelf? Do you think you could find the place where you read them so we can be sure that no copyright issues will come up?
--OnionShark 23:05, 10 January 2017 (CET)
The scans could be found on BrickShelf some years ago (I don't know they're still there). I remember for I tried to translate the comic, but the scans were kind of awful ones, nearly unreadable, so I couldn't xd... By the way, they were on Brickshelf. -- Surel-Nuva (Talk) 23:14, 10 January 2017 (CET)
another point to make, we're not posting the content ourselves, but simply linking to another site that does, so i don't think it's an issue.
also, we have links to all the comics on here somewhere anyway, so... Intelligence4 (talk) 16:58, 11 January 2017 (CET)
Ok, I guess this technically wont get us into trouble. (BTW, GC3-7 are not linked )
--OnionShark 17:27, 11 January 2017 (CET)
Eh, the original saga's comics were not released on the BIONICLE.com, but we have links for them. And comics 3-5 were released 8 years ago, the last two were released 7 years ago, I don't think there would be copyright issue, if the BioMedia Project is still active. -- Surel-Nuva (Talk) 17:34, 11 January 2017 (CET)

No, the original comics were released for free on the website. So, the page got six votes for yes, it will be made, right? --OnionShark 17:40, 11 January 2017 (CET)

Before we create the page we would need a Sandbox section, to see how it'll look like, I think. -- Surel-Nuva (Talk) 17:43, 11 January 2017 (CET)

Rename The Final Battle Animation to The Rise of Mata Nui.

Per Advance's official Youtube account, the video is called The Rise of Mata Nui [1] as seen here. I suggest we change the name accordingly, since it's an official name from the guys that actually made the short film.

Change the name to The Rise of Mata Nui

Leave the name as The Final Battle Animation

Comments

Thanks for not simply putting yes/no as the voting section titles haha. whoever nominated this should sign their name to the nomination, because that counts as a vote, and we don't want to be double counting. it needs 6 votes in addition to the nomination. As for the actual issue at hand here, i'm inclined to agree with the nomination, but do we know why we originally called it the final battle animation? was it called that on bioncle.com, or is that simply something we made up? On a more fun note - was that video seriously only produced in 320p??? jeez... Intelligence4 (talk) 17:50, 17 April 2017 (CET)

Oh right forgot to sign it when I made the nomination. Well I already voted so whatever. Also, remember that back in 2008 videos hardly were 1080p 4k Ultra-HD quality. They weren't the norm as they are now. I'm sure Ghost has a higher resolution and quality video when they made it but they'll probably never release it. --- Creep 03:29, 18 April 2017 (CET)

Move all fan-created canon stories from "Saga Guides/[title] by [author]" to "[title]"

The current title format for fan-written stories (such as Saga Guides/Decadence by Dorek) is a bit strange. They're grouped under Saga Guides, but they're not saga guides, they're short stories. Stories by Greg follow the "[title]" format, so why should it be different for fan-written canon stories? -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 02:44, 4 May 2017 (CET)

Change names to "[title]"

  1. I always thought this was strange. It makes it really unnecessarily complicated to link to them. I understand we want to make them distinct from the "official" short stories, but that information can go at the top of the page, not in the title. --Angel Bob (talk) 04:27, 4 May 2017 (CET)
  2. Good idea. — SurelNuva (Talk) 07:25, 4 May 2017 (CET)
  3. Might as well. ~OnionShark 10:22, 6 May 2017 (CET)

Keep names as "Saga Guides/[title] by [author]"

Comments

Given that these are fan created stories, i think we should still note the author - i.e. [title by author] instead of simply [title]. if we removed saga guide from their title, would we also have to remove them from the saga guides' navigation box? if so, where would we put them? i know i only found those stories back in the day through those saga guides links, so i don't think we should make them harder for readers to find.

Another thing to consider, even though they're fan created, they're still official canon, right?

Aaaand one last thing on a bit of a tangent, were the images at the top of those story pages arbitrarily chosen, or were they specifically created for those pages, or what? Intelligence4 (talk) 06:25, 5 May 2017 (CET)

1) We could add them to the online story navigation box, all the official serials and short stories are there. 2) They were written for contests in which the winning stories would become canon, so yes. 3) The banners were chosen from pre-existing images, but I'm pretty sure the original versions didn't have them. Does anyone know why they were added? ~OnionShark 10:22, 6 May 2017 (CET)

Also, I noticed that among the Saga Guides are Birth of a Dark Hunter and The Crossing, should we change their titles too? They could go in the guides nav because BoaDH was in the Encyclopedia and TC was in the Glatorian mini books. ~OnionShark 14:18, 6 May 2017 (CET)
