* Characters
** [[Lucifer]] - more bio stuff (living legend, etc)
* Stubs - non-cast stubs or expansion
** [[Galactica (TOS)]]
** [[Grid Rats]]
* Information articles
**[[Uniforms (TOS)]] - Article is in its nascency. Information on ''Pegasus'' related items is already included from "The Living Legend" episodes. Needs to be much more developed in terms of anything outside that.
**[[Deleted scenes (TOS)]] - There are many deleted or extended scenes for the series that are on the DVDs. We need to compile a list, since such a list doubtless rivals even its analog, [[Deleted scenes]] for the current series.
**[[Continuity errors (TOS)]] - A definitive (and doubtless lengthy) list of errors that proliferate the original series needs to be worked on as well. This is a goldmine article, and would undoubtedly have a future as a Featured Article.
=== Images ===
Many of the pages relating to the original series require images, particularly episode guides.
The following list contains ALL articles in the [[:Category:TOS|TOS category]] that are not figures of speech, units of measure, resources, etc, that lack pictures.
==== Groups ====
* [[Blue Squadron]] - a pic?
==== Misc Items ====
* [[Military Ranks (TOS)]] - could use some color





Revision as of 13:32, 29 December 2006

This page is one of Battlestar Wiki's many projects.
This page serves to coordinate discussion on a particular aspect of this Wiki. The formal recommendations of a project may be treated as policies.

The Original Series Article Development Project is a long-winded title for a fairly large project to develop articles relating to the original Battlestar Galactica.

Reasoning

Currently, much of our attention is directed at providing information to the current Battlestar Galactica series. While the articles relating to that series are very well developed, the area of the original series remains lacking in comparison. This was noted by Spencerian on the Wiki's general talk page, which said, in part:

... BSG Wiki has one Achille's Heel; the comparative lack of information on the Original Series pages as opposed to the Re-imagined Series is almost shameful ...

Therefore the drive into creating content for the original series should be a concern. Obviously, this is a voluntary effort, but any fans of the original series who wish to contribute are welcome to focus their efforts in creating articles related to the original Battlestar Galactica. (It also gives us something to do while awaiting the October airing of Season 3.)

Article Todo List by Episode

This section is going to be huge and unwieldy at first, but it will be used as a staging ground for organizing an episode by episode to-do list, so that as people watch the "featured episode of the period" (a forthcoming feature, hopefully with a better title) they can easily navigate to the articles that need to be updated (or created). This could theoretically be implemented by using categories, but some articles would gain upwards of 20 cats, which might get ugly.

Saga of a Star World

Roughly 160 articles link to Saga of a Star World. I'll pick out some that need obvious attention. Feel free to add to the list.

A transcript of the episode can be found here.

War of the Gods

Fire in Space

  • Uniforms (TOS) - Need to add the fire clothing and space suits depicted in this ep.
  • Galactica (TOS) - We can use some of the info in this episode to expand a bit on the layout.

General

We should probably do a series of articles similar to the RDM "Twelve Colonies" series that Peter started. Here's an idea:
