		Alrighty, all these silly pages and conjecture pages are clogging up the mainspace. I think you know what the proposed solution is. Move them to user spaces. This includes stuff like Romantic Arguments, Villain Debates and so on. And no, a Conjecture mainspace won't be made.

		Good. It's about time we organize the mainspace for the FFWiki after three years of existence.

		We could intergrate them into the game articles. It's evident that we don't have a universal look for the game articles; most of them were copies of Wikipedia's rewritten for an informal look. We could standardize them like we did other pages. As for the Nonsense and Conjecture, I have two proposals: 1. Move them to userspace according to first wrote or hosted them. Because it's purely evident that some of these conjecture are written from an editor's perspective, or 2. Move them to the UnFinalFantasy Wiki, which is an attempt to parody FF. We could always link them to the related articles. And I do think the UnFF needs more than just unfunny content.

		I think if conjecture is notable, it should stay in the mainspace. We're not Wikipedia.

		Well, the last thing I want is another stupid User Page. All I want are Archives for my Talk and Picture of the Week. You can just flat-out delete my nonsense. It doesn't even makes sense (which totally sucks for FFVIII). How sad that my Nonsense Category did not even make it a week.

		I love conjeture and nonsense, they are funny to read! But I'm nothing more than a non-editing user, so... yeah...

		How odd, Diablo wanting to move his own work to userspace where everyone will forget about it.

		Everyone's already forgotten about it anyway, so I don't see the problem. Also, Bluer is the one who feels really passionate about this. I just made the suggestion.

		I think we have enough Spaces. I am really opposed to Henry's idea because I know that Walkthroughs would fit right in there, and I swear to Christ I AM NOT MOVING THEM AGAIN. No way.

		And no, a Conjecture mainspace won't be made. Read the whole post next time Henry.

		A conjecture space is just stupid, ALSO we can always put that on the Zanctuary of Zi'tah or w/e...

		If the pages need to be moved, so be it.

		Another namespace? Sorry, Henry, we've swamped the technicians in Wikia with enough tasks already. Sanctuary of Zi'tah as a place for fan material, including conjecture? Not bad of an idea, really, considering it's already done on several levels. These pages shall be moved there, unless they're already in the userspace.

		I don't really see how these things are clogging up the mainspace. If you move them to userpage subpages they might as well be deleted because no one will notice them. As well, Wikipedia has like, dozens of joke pages like this, about how addicted you are to Wikipedia and the various Wiki-creatures, etc. I don't see how less than a dozen here hurts anything.

		Categorizing them as Conjecture or Nonsense pretty much takes care of all that. You could make a special template for these pages to show their lack of substance.

TacticAngel TALK 01:43, 19 May 2008 (UTC) I think there is a reasonable line between what is reasonable conjecture. There are facts that make certain articles more interesting (IE: The identity of Gogo) but then there are things that make the whole wiki worse and really aren't worth having in the mainspace (Sephiroth v. Kefka abominati...article). I would support any action to get it out of the mainspace. I said all along that I thought it should be in the user space, but I'd be perfectly ok with its summary deletion.
