I don't think this has been discussed, so I'll raise the topic. On the individual figure listings, they all have titles starting with their Universe number (ex. M/08 Captain America). Now, when you go to search for a figure, you have to type in "M/08 Captain America" instead of just "Captain America. I could imagine that making it kind of difficult for newcomers to find the figure they want if they don't know the series number. Also, when searching for figures in categories such as Human Attacktix, instead of being put in actual alphabetical order, all it does is divide them up into series. Why would you need that?

Well, the first issue, in which a search requires a specific name, can be resolved by making certain names redirect to their proper page. For exaple, "Captain America" would redirect to the M/08 Captain America page. With characters with more figures like Spider-Man, we'd probably want to make a Disambiguation page where putting in "Spider-Man" takes you to a page where you can click on a specific Spider-Man figure's page.
The second issue I also just noticed. Perhaps moving the collector info behind the name would work? A bit messier but would allow for alphabetizing.
EDIT: The first solution seems to work like a charm! Currently messing with this, Captain America is fixed.

As a note, whenever you add a figure page go to categories at the bottom and type in its faction then the word faction (just to make sure no one gets confused). I just spent about an hour doing it for all the figures thusly listed, it will get done much quicker if everyone helps out.
Also please add its class (+ the word class) as well. Point Values, attacks, and others should be discussed here in the forum to make sure we don't go overboard (like I kinda did on Gender/Species, though to my defense no figure can have more then three of those (Clones+Cyborgs)).
By the way Grievous (I believe it was you) great job on the Disambiguation page. Funny thing is, now repaints really will come back to haunt us (not that they didn't before).

I think we will be removing gender and species once the site is up. That is information that can be in the bio, but we don't need categories for that... that is better left to wookieepedia... we are about the Attacktix info

Ten Billion Karma Joe? ....Really? Hmmm, seems fishy to me.
I think it might be nice to keep up a female section on the Wikia. I find a lot of times (young) female players want to know what girl figures they can play with. I agree that we don't need a male section. That would become a very large section as time progresses.

Actually, the templates I'm working on will eventually add at least the Universe and Attacktix class categories automatically to the pages in which they're embedded It'll take a while to get that functionality worked out, though.

Hmmm... Not anymore I could see female for that reason, but I still think its a stretch. I think any category that is specifically mentioned in the rules should be a category before gender/robot, etc... I would rather see them categorized by base size and speed before arbitrary attributes (awesmome alliteration, right?)

Is it just me, or is the wiki looking BA?
I love when I go to the main page and I see "We are currently editing over 278 articles"... Busy, busy little bees!

Based on the naming convention so far, you should probably just start a new page via the dialog box on the main page, with the title as: P/2 Clone Trooper After that, you should be able to follow the directions on this page to fill in the figure info template with the appropriate information. The "Usage" section on that page should give enough information to do this; if not, let me know, and I can provide more detailed information.

I dont know if the person I want to talk to is a member of this forum or not. But if you are the one that edited SW1/24 Emperor, SW1/13 Grievous Bodyguard, SW2/6 Grievous Bodyguard and SW2/19 Destroyer Droid today; PLEASE try and make complete sentences (or at least ones that make sense), and use proper capitalization and punctuation..... Please?
