Messaging works again here :)

Sorry, but your answer isn't compromise position. It's a disapproval ;) Cyberpunk isn't only the video game. We can't think like that. This wiki should more like TW wiki (video game based on existing universe and technology allowing modders to create their own stories) than wikis for DA wiki. You arguments would make perfect sense if we're talking about Dragon Age ;) But not here.

"3. OK. I like to suggest a compromise position. Can we agree on never to use mod info, mod links in article pages? Those should be limited to a official mods blog or forum within the Wiki; something similar to CDProjectRed doing for Witcher in there forums. Basically I use that to avoide unavoidable edit wars and debates regarding " Xs' mod is better than Y" kind of things. I have expereinced this in DA wiki."

I pointed example. Articles with mod info and mod links work well in The Witcher wiki. Good mods just has a natural right to have 1 article in its category. Nobody fights with nobody. We never experience such wars in TW wiki. I'd like to give a try and forbid mods only if that will make problems.

Cyberpunk game and its community gonna be similar to TW series and its community. Where people are really focused on creating new, valuables pieces of story rather than tiny mods (also because of technology aspect). And there's no war here which mod is better. Really.

"4. I like to suggest a compromise position, again. Fan arts should be "only" in a gallary not in the article iteself."

Cyberpunk setting exists for years. And there is plenty of great, valuable artworks we could use in articles describing setting or pen-and-paper games. What's more: original RPG books don't contain many artworks. Fan Art is often the only way to illustrate the Cyberpunk elements. You can't look at this like at Deus Ex or Dragon Age - these are settings created only for video games. But Cyberpunk has its own life (even without video game), so disallowing for posting fan art in articles have no sense. Especially we need wait long time (one year? 2 years? 3 years?) for a game. We can't make this wiki articles image-less.

I'll give you an example. http://cyberpunk.wikia.com/wiki/Netrunner

I'd be nice to have fan art for Netrunner here. In TW wiki we have even Fan Art along to description of mod. And thanks that that wiki is better :)

I understand your point of view. But this wiki needs to be a bit different that gaming wikis you work on already. It's just about 2 things. I agree with rest of guidelines :)
