Editing Talk:Unknown craft (RDM)/Archive 1

== Purpose ==

I can see the point this page in theory, but we need to clearly define how to use this and what to put here. Saying this it is for ship ''types'' and not individual ships is already a step in that direction. For example we already have [[Unnamed battlestars]], so listing them here too would be redundant.

There are some undefined designs in the civilian Fleet, but note that they already have own pages. [[Five-engined vessel]], [[Wedge-shaped vessel]], [[Tubed vessel]], [[Yellow vessel]] and [[Long-necked vessel]]. Those should be at most ''listed'' here.

A clear candidate would be the ship above ''Pegasus'' in "Razor", but I already created a section at [[Scorpion Fleet Shipyards]] for this, as that is the likeliest place anyone would look for it. Of course we can detail it here and link from there to here. That depends on how much information there is about it. At the moment it not really enough to need its own article IMO (which would have a completely arbitrary name no one knows). See [[Talk:Fall of the Scorpion Fleet Shipyards#Berzerk Orthos]] for some more information, and a possible sourcing problem. 

To be honest, the main benefit of this would be to have one place that lists all those ships for easy reference. But the information itself is already present elsewhere and doesn't need to be moved here. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 03:26, 14 December 2007 (CST)

-:I'm cool with this summary page for the same reason that [[Caprican refugees]] and its child pages exist. We just don't want to be very repetitive in their descriptions on this page, but try to cite their commonalities or appearances as warranted. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 11:51, 14 December 2007 (CST)
-::These types of pages are very useful for the casual reader or new converts to BSG. Us experts can sometimes lose that perspective. --[[User:Gougef|FrankieG]] 15:22, 14 December 2007 (CST)
