BIONICLE Facebook Page

Page will be created.

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.

Generation 2 Elements

Anyone else think we should create separate pages for the Generation 2 versions of Elements like Fire or Jungle? The fact that they're used in G2 pages and link to G1 topics seems like it would be confusing for those unfamiliar with the wiki.--Wiriamu (talk) 05:43, 15 July 2016 (CET)

Yes

  3. Since we now have a full-fledged Elements (Generation 2) page, I don't think we need separate pages for them anymore. --Angel Bob (talk) 18:16, 15 August 2016 (CET)
  4. It would be good enough to just replace the links on the G2 pages to the respective subheading on the G2 Elements page. Master Inika (Talk) 04:39, 5 October 2016 (CET)

It'd be tricky... but I'd like to see it get done. I think from an organizational perspective it'd be pretty useful, even if the page is super bare-bones. But I'm also not scrambling to make them myself, y'know? -- Dorek Talk External Image 10:19, 15 July 2016 (CET)

Unless the Gen. 2 elements are somehow inherently different than the Gen. 1 elements, I think it'd be easier to make "Gen. 1" and "Gen. 2" sections on the existing elemental pages. -- Toa Jala Converse 17:36, 16 July 2016 (CET)
Yes, it would be simpler than creating new pages with less informations. -- Surel-Nuva (Talk) 11:07, 19 July 2016 (CET)
I don't think we should bother, to be honest. The elements are pretty much the same, and it's pretty well known to anyone looking at G2 pages that there was a generation of bionicle before that. at most, we could add a bit in the trivia of the element pages to note that it was also in g2. Intelligence4 (talk) 08:45, 1 August 2016 (CET)

We have redirecting pages for them, so I think we don't need that pool anymore. -- Surel-Nuva (Talk) 09:41, 12 August 2016 (CET)

I realize now that the Gen2 elements are, in fact, inherently different from the Gen1 elements. For example, G2 Fire also influences magma, whereas G1 Fire does not. G2 Jungle deals with air and G2 Stone deals with sand. Also, G2 Water-users can breathe underwater whereas most G1 Water users could not. -- Toa Jala Converse 07:29, 18 August 2016 (CET)
But we still don't have enough information about them. And we have much more information about the G1 elements than the G2 ones. I think the Elements (Generation 2) is the best place for them. -- Surel-Nuva (Talk) 15:37, 28 August 2016 (CET)
I think surel has the right idea here. even though the elements are different from their g1 counterparts, (i'll agree with that argument) we don't have enough information on them individually to separate them out in their own pages. that's just unnecessary formatting work, and unnecessary dispersal of information.

Gen 2 Creatures

The Wiki has a template setup with buttons for Gen1 and Gen2 creatures (non-Rahi) but currently only a list of Gen1 creatures exists. Anyone else think we should do something about it?--Wiriamu (talk) 04:47, 23 September 2016 (CET)

Yes

No

  2. Just make the template link to Okoto#Wildlife. --Angel Bob (talk) 02:50, 27 September 2016 (CET)

Do you mean a page for the Okoto Wildlife? Because the Skull Spiders are not real Creatures, nor are the LoSS and the Skull Scorpios, also the Elemental Creatures are more elemental spirits with Creatures bodies than real creatures.-- Surel-Nuva (Talk) 14:15, 23 September 2016 (CET)

Probably not. Gen 2 is over, and we don't have a bunch of creatures to add to that list unlike with Gen 1 where we had tons of rahi. the first year's baddie was the wildlife on the island and we later had an entire book dedicated to them. with g2, the wildlife of the island wasn't really part of the story. maybe we should just get rid of the template?
