Plans for Re-opening of Earth Eternal[]

Since Earth Eternal is no longer playable, there is nothing to do on this wiki but plan for the future. Wikia's new theme has also broken many of the design elements of the wiki that depended on custom CSS, including the old Sparkplay News section of the Main page (currently replaced by this) and the Community Portal. Myself and several other former administrators are unwilling to dedicate a large portion of time to revamping the Earth Eternal Wiki when there is no clear evidence that the game will return. If and when the game does return, we fear that it may be so different that virtually none of the information on this site will be accurate.

If this does occur, there are currently several tentative plans, and more suggestions are welcome:

  • Batch rename all of the content to Page Name (Sparkplay). These pages will begin with a small informative box at the top explaining that the information therein refers to an older version of the game.
  • Add a special box to the top of all pages which cannot be updated which explains that the information therein does not apply to the current game. If the same element exists in the new version, a Sparkplay section will be created at the bottom of the article briefly describing the previous system.
  • If the new company renames the game, it may be in our best interests to simply create a new wiki entirely and import pages as necessary from this one. That way, the Sparkplay game (Earth Eternal) would have its own wiki, while the "new game" would have one without the clutter of the Sparkplay version.
  • Move all pages from the content namespace to another Namespace, e.g. www.eartheternal.wikia.com/Sparkplay:Druid, or /Archive:Druid.

Please suggest or discuss below. :)

Thank you,
