    Should there be a rule for this?

    Separate pages for each discovered planet? A master list with coordinates?

    Anyone have any better ideas?

    There should be a rule. The community loves data, but that is maybe bad clutter data.

    I would say...

    Save the nitty gritty details for game-specific wikia style sites. Keep the stuff in the GB wiki broad, unless it's plot relevant.

    Do we put every location in Fallout 4 on the wiki? No, so I imagine this is no different, don't be crazy people. There will be a main wiki page for the game and that's it.

    Basic info, like the other games on the wiki here.

    I'm sure the central database that all discoveries get uploaded to in-game will have a website equivalent, so you can peruse it and see what people have found. If not an official one, some crazy person will make one.

    I think the site could do without a single page for every single planet discovered. That sort of stuff is gonna probably be better supported on a Wikia site for the game.

    No, we should definitely have an infinite number of pages for all the planets in this game.

    Thankfully we have a couple of years to figure this out before the game is released.

    just kidding.

    @mike: 10 bucks says this "kid" turns out to be the correct assumption.

    This is a good analogy - let some other site, as the kids say, "fuck their shit up fam" - I prefer the clean Wiki we see on here more often than not.

    How does having more pages you don't have to navigate to harm anything?

    Now I think about it this could lead to beautiful chaos.

    I am going to name all my planets after existing games to confuse things further.

    This edit will also create new pages on Giant Bomb for:
