|'''Description:''' [[User:Jack%27s_Inflamed_Sense_Of_Rejection/MeltingPot2 |I started making some generic locations to unstub some of the 6000+ locations/streets here]], but before making them into a big deal I wanted to clear with others if this is even a good idea.


Every location type will have at least 4 different options to make it somewhat less generic and hopefully a little inviting towards players who might not have the big time creative storytelling. As of now I have inserted some options within the generic locations so that every Restaurant doesn't serve the same food - same will be done for workshops, grocery stores and apartment complexes etc. Many stubs are non-TRP locations and they should all link to either history and/or any useful information like items and other locations too, just to make them more useful.
Any generic location will of course have some sort of template so all users know that the generic locations are open to all creative editing, even deletion if someone has something to add - the plan is not to finish off the map, but to give to fill out the small holes. Most of this is based on something I found in Rosslessness' userspace and I feel it deserves some attention which is why I'm making the suggestion.
-Don't mind the pictures, or boxes. This is all work in progress, and thanks for the inputs I have gotten so far!

====Discussion (Generic locations.)====
Hallo! Unfortunately, this isn't the right place for this question — Developing Suggestions is for suggested ''in-game'' changes, and this is an on-wiki change.
That said, I'd say just go for it. In general, for changes that don't affect the major workings of the wiki (e.g. administrative stuff, the DangerReport or Map systems) go ahead and make changes — if it's a big problem we can always clean it up later. Things like building descriptions are totally free to edit, and as long as you're not deleting lovingly-crafted content (which you won't be, if this is to be used on stubs) you're all set.
(For a shameless-plug example of a previous mass-content-add, check out the [[Malton Rail]] network I constructed in 2015 and added to all rail stations in the city. Nobody objected to that, at least not yet!) {{User:Bob Moncrief/Sig}} 23:13, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

  • Scope is who or what the suggestion affects. Typically survivors or zombies (or both), but occasionally Malton, the game interface or something else.

Unless you are as yet unsure of the exact details behind the suggestion, try not to leave out anything important. Check your spelling and grammar.
