Events

What are the rules for what gets added to this navbox? Like, every single event ever mentioned or shown in AC or just significant ones? Because the events in the navbox aren't all of the event pages on the wiki. V i l k a T h e W o l f (talk) 03:43, May 31, 2020 (UTC)

You ask a pretty important question because as far as I know, there are none. :( I don't think it has ever been discussed. It seems like in the old days, no one really cared about articles on events, so this topic was always left forgotten in the side-lines. In reality, articles on events are probably some of the most important ones for our wiki because they link together everything else. I've also noticed that our organization for event pages are a total mess. Well, since you brought this topic up, would you like to be the first to suggest some guidelines for this? :P Sol Pacificus^(Cyfiero) 04:55, May 31, 2020 (UTC)

Sure, first point is the most obvious - events that are actually shown in any AC media need a place in the navbox. I'll actually play around in my sandbox for a sec. I'll do up a Timeline Navbox that features only events fully shown in AC, and another navbox with every single event. We'll see what looks neater.

Okay, this is after a little playing around. It could be messier.

Regarding guidelines;

• Events that are directly portrayed in Assassin's Creed be added
• Events that are indirectly mentioned shouldn't be added
  • However, most of the events from the Glyphs, Rifts, and Abstergo Files give us important lore-insights into 20th century templar conspiracies so they should stay
• Events that have Database entries written about them should be added
  • Events that are mentioned in Database can be added if the mention is significant enough.
• Similarly to Database entries, events that are also portrayed/mentioned in Discovery Tour deserve to be added also.V i l k a T h e W o l f (talk) 07:00, May 31, 2020 (UTC)

This sounds like a good start, though we'll have to see more specifically what will end up being included and excluded to be sure. Sol Pacificus^(Cyfiero) 18:56, May 31, 2020 (UTC)
