*Should individual articles be of the general form "Colonial Religion", "Colonial Government", "Colonial History" (ie, the Colonials as a people, including [[The Twelve Colonies of Kobol|the Twelve Colonies]] AND [[the Fleet (RDM)|the Fleet]]) or should Fleet issues be given their own series?

Commentary or criticism apart from their place in this series should go to their respective talk pages. If new articles need to be created, request them here. Topics we might explore in the future as more information becomes available include: Technology, Sexuality, Arts...

The other links, '''Government''' and '''History''', currently link to articles chosen  somewhat arbitrarily, in order to provide a good idea of the ground we need to cover. Discussion of their direction should take place on this WikiProject, since the specific articles linked to are not necessarily good candidates for expansion.


==The Twelve Colonies==
==The Twelve Colonies==


Given that there is not enough information on the Twelve Colonies as a group and the colonies as individuals to justify thirteen separate articles, [[The Twelve Colonies of Kobol|The Twelve Colonies]] currently includes all available data. As more information becomes available about individual colonies, it may become necessary to give them articles of their own. When this happens, the following markup should be inserted between the heading in question and its content:
The Article "[[The Twelve Colonies]]", and the articles on the individual colonies should all be considered stubs at the moment, and no additional information appears to be readily forthcoming. I would like to merge the contents of each of the articles on the individual colonies into the article for the Twelve Colonies. If you object, please state your case.
 
<code><nowiki>''Main article: [[Caprica]]''</nowiki></code>


The articles Caprica, Picon, Scorpion, Tauron and Virgon, which share names with their [[TOS]] incarnations, link to disambiguation pages. The articles Aerelon, Aquaria, Canceron, Gemenon, Leonis, and Sagittaron all redirect to the appropriate headings of the main article. Unfortunately, under the current version of WikiMedia, redirects cannot take a visitor to article headings. To link directly to the section of the main article that corresponds to the colony you want, use a construction such as:
==History==


<nowiki>[[The Twelve Colonies of Kobol#Sagittaron|Sagittaron]]</nowiki>.
History currently links to [[Re-Imagined Series Timeline]]. The article [[History of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol]] is fanfic and should be deleted, but we need a more robust article located at [[History of the Twelve Colonies]]. Such an article should contain:


Because of the existence of redirects, this is not critical, but it will make for a more pleasant experience on the part of our readers.
*A conservative reading of the historical information available from the [[Sacred Scrolls]] on the exodus from Kobol and founding of the twelve colonies
*A history of the inter-colonial fighting which lead to the [[Articles of Colonization]]
**Including notes on [[Sagittaron]]'s exploitation by the other colonies ([[Bastille Day]])
*A merger and redirect from the material in [[Cylon War]]
