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.)

Toolbox

To-Do List

Article Creation and Enhancement

Of course, please feel free to list pages that need to be worked on below.

Images

Many of the pages relating to the original series require images, particularly episode guides.

The following list contains ALL articles in the TOS category that are not figures of speech, units of measure, resources, etc, that lack pictures.

Groups

Misc Items

Episode Guide "Completion Candidates"

These episode guides have information filled out for all sections. They need a final check to make sure spelling, links, etc, are as intended. Striking an episode out will indicate it is "complete".

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.

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:
