Addendums

I. Publications

Proposed
Update format removing unnecessary wiki markup and add a navigational anchor to link.
Fallout: New Vegas Official Game Guide Collector's Edition p. 457: "EQUALITY: By law, the NCR prohibits persecution and discrimination on the basis of gender, ethnicity, sexuality, or religious belief."

II. Dialogue/Content policy

Proposed
Remove small template and bold markup. Appropriate use for dialogue notes includes succinct location or companion based clarification or detail. Remove speculation, claims of narrator unreliability, game year math justifications, content that is not navigational in nature.
Curie: "I read that the Corvega Blitz is quite economical and family friendly. But, not so much any more." (Curie's dialogue, spoken at Corvega assembly plant)

III. Dialogue/Editing guideline

Proposed
Dialogue files of games beginning in Fallout 3 are not .txt or .msg files. Dialogue should be imported as a subpage of the character file, not a separate article with an outdated suffix. Move applicable articles and correct links via bot.

I would like to point out that there are essentially three votes being made here, one for each addendum. I agree with all three however, so if some split occurs in the future, feel free to mark me up for all of them. In addition, I think the examples from the discussion page should be copied over here, rather than using vague summaries. I had to navigate back to the discussion just to gain further context on the changes being made. As for the changes themselves rather than the format of this vote, the only disagreement I have is with the new inability to use basic math to justify references. In the Nadine example presented on the discussion, maybe not a specific age in the infobox, but a note somewhere stating that "According to Nadine's mother, Nadine is around the same age as the Lone Wanderer." In cases where math can actually be applied (as in real numbers are used rather than just a person saying someone is "about the same age" as someone), similar notes can be used that specify a range of numbers.

No

Neutral

I'm not in favor of renaming the Fo3, FNV and Fo4 dialogue files. The .txt extension is generated when you export the dialogue file for a character using the GECK, so that's were it comes from. I would just leave that intact. Rest seems ok. Jspoel 18:06, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

Result

I took the suggestion regarding dialogue and moved to a new vote here. -kdarrow ^{take her for a spin!} 00:21, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
