New is better

Format wide I prefer the set up of Monroeville. Malton is all well and good but its not hugely informative. Borehamwood just needs a good old clean. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 11:19, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Titles

• Playing in (City Name)

Explaining how to sign up, it its still open etc.

Differences from Malton

• Mapping

Links to map, overall map of regions if appropriate.

• Groups

Links to the group categories for the city

• Buildings

Large structure, unique structures to the city etc.

• Section on new stuff

Rule changes, things added or missing.

somewhere a template for population.

All history kept on a separate page as its all conjecture. I'd also lose the silly list of PRE OUTBREAK GROUPS on the Malton page. Talk about free advertising. In fact the malton page is terrible (apart from the motto), --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 21:19, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

malton's pre-outbreak unnoficial background were written years before monroeville showed up. We must find a middle-group between the current fanfic centred page it currently is and the technical centred information we have for MV and BW. --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 21:49, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Not really, it already exists. Just move it to Lexicon:Malton.--Judge Karke, self-proclaimed Decider of Everything and Ruler of All 01:13, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

I was reading my old project the other day, and found it interesting that people had written some description and background history for each mall. This way, the mall pages were interesting and useful at same time. I think something like that will have to be done with the city pages... or atleast for Malton, which background history already exists. --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 16:08, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

categories

i was just thinking here, and realized that Category:City is only one option these pages should be categorized on. Other options are

• Category:City
• Category:Scenario
• Category:Map

or, like Malton is

• Category:Glossary

which one should be used, and can anyone think of other better options to categorize these pages on ? --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 00:08, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

City,or indeed cities. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 15:44, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

I dont like plurals, so Category:City it is. --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 16:09, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

3 cities ?

i have just realized that urban dead does not have only 3 cities... it has 3 scenarios, but in two of them there are more than one city. Monroeville has Monroeville, Oak Hill and Newtown, while Borehamwood has Borehamwood, Radleet and Elstree. --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 16:17, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Come on! Their boroughs or suburbs. Just like Brixton is part of London or (thinks) Queens is part of New york. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 17:19, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Or Hilldale in Hill Valley. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 17:26, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Yet they are cities. I understand your point, my city too has a few suburbs who claim to be independent cities, but serve for nothing but a dorm for my city industry. I wont change the category, or how we call the trio of cities, but it was just a thought i had in mind --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 17:46, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Ah. Thinking. Want to do a sweep of location pages? Get them all moved to the right city?--Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 20:16, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Ive done all the random buildings in BHW. thoughts of Big Brother House? Big Brother House (Borehamwood) ? --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 23:17, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

I dont think moving the big brother house location page is really needed. After all, it's an unique location which will surely not be recreated in other future cities. Same reasoning could be used for malls, but there are malls in every city, therefore they need to be told apart. --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 23:38, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Monroeville Mall redirects. Appropriate system? --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 23:45, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Category:Malton?

Firstly, love the name.

Secondly, any idea of what should go in Category:Malton? I've just started to add things like suburb pages and notable buildings (malls, the forts, etc,) but is there anything else? Linkthewindow  Talk  11:58, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

I'd leave it at that. Over the last 2 days ive managed to move every single borehamwood building to its building name (Borehamwood) namespace, then I'll do Monroeville. Should make things a bit clearer. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 12:01, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

All large buildings done, as well as the first twenty suburbs. I'll wrap it up tomorrow, but they are there if someone wants something to do. Linkthewindow  Talk  12:18, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

I think ive correctly categorised every borehamwood page now. What's the next step? --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 13:04, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Next step, once Category:Malton is done, will be create a common layout for each city, and apply it to them. --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 14:03, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
