I just saw a page created concerning the USS Kelvin from the new "Star Trek" film, and I began to wonder how we are gonna fit in the 'new' timeline of Trek on this wiki. Although I expect 99% of any new fan fiction will be set in the main/normal universe, it is possible that a user may create fic set in the new universe, so how are we gonna keep them seperate? Do something similar to Memory Alpha and have seperate pages? Or maybe a tag at the top of an article? Comments and suggestions, please. =] Luke80 09:26, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
- A discussion on this has taken place somewhere, and I think the consensus at the moment was to just stick to one article and just add the alternate reality information at the bottom of the article in a similar fashion to what is done with dividing separate continuities. --The Doctor 09:34, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
- The discussion was over on Talk:James T. Kirk (alternate reality). This new timeline should just be mentioned on the main article pages. This is really no different to the Pendragon timeline or whenever we have various sources with conflicting information, we split it into its own section on the page.
- Personally I don't like the "alternate timeline" extension, which seems to be from MA, it is just too general. Plus just because MA is using it doesn't mean we have to. – JayLR 15:17, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
- For Memory Alpha, it makes sense, since that's the only way it was referred to in the movie, but for us, yeah, it's not specific enough. Over on Memory Beta, I jokingly suggested "Neroverse" or "Abramsverse," but like I said, only joking. Something more along those lines would be better suited for our needs, though. "Red matter timeline"? Nah... Nero-Kelvin timeline? --TimPendragon Adm • Hail 15:40, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
- I think "Nero timeline" or "Nero-created timeline" or something similar would be the best. The KISS principle should be kept in mind, but I think a short, concise but aptly descriptive name or phrase would be best. "Red matter timeline": no thank you! If someone has a really good idea, that would be great to hear.
- I am with what seems like the majority here; we don't need separate pages like MA has, as our pages already mostly deal with alternate realities within the page. --usscantabrian 20:21, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
