What say we do the bold yet insane thing of trying to make a template for all SGA season pages? Because there is no sense in reinventing the wheel each season *pours everyone a cup of tea*. I have tried to be inclusive, as you will note! I am very much prejudiced, having joined the fandom late and living abroad.... I do hate to shut the door on those who are coming late to the party, and believe firmly that even present-day fic can give insight on former seasons (a 2008-written S2-set Michael/Sheppard fic, for example, would be fascinating). My comments are in <note>s. I am not a good user of the Wiki-style: anyone who can make this pretty, I will hug.

ETA: and botheration, the Contents have (natch!) merged with the discuss!page!contents. Um. The stuff below is from Contents#11, at least until I figure out how to isolate this. *swears*

<add Square Brackets Here>SGASeasonPage |SGA Season= |U.S. Airdates= |Canadian Airdates= |Recurring Characters= <square close brackets here> <note> template needs to be made, there is no SGASeasonPage, I'm faking it.... </note>

Overview of Season X

North American airdates

<note> this may not be necessary, if we can swing the box thing *points up* </note>

Major plot arcs and themes

Controversies

<note> i.e., racism in canon (controversial in S2, as I recall) </note>

Characters

<note>I think recurring characters can go in the box, y/n?</note>

Broader view of Season X's place in canon

<note> this section would of course be very brief, as this is *FanLore* not Wikipedia, with an emphasis on issues affecting fandom/fanon. The 'broader view' section is useful for touching on stories/characters like Michael, who was born in S2 and grew up to be very bad indeed.... </note>

Fanfic trends

Controversies

<note> for season 2, Remix culture goes here </note>

I'm sure I'm missing many things, my mind being what it is, but... it seems that the other season pages are waiting in the wings for 2006/S2 to get its head clear, and having a template might be a way to ease that stagefright. Maybe? busaikko 11:49, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
