OCF blog

Hey guys, excellent news: We are now preparing to take the next big step in advancement of the wiki. We are going to present OCF to wikia and ask them to advertise us in order to gain more users. If we're going to get more users, we're going to need more admins. Nominate to users (not including yourself) to be admin, and 1 for chat mod.

Admins:

 * Good understanding of role-playing, particularly here on OCF.
 * No bans, has good history of behavior on OCF.

Chat Mods

 * No previous bans, good history of behavior.
 * Is on chat regularly.

Rules for Voting

 * Cannot vote for oneself.
 * To prevent sock puppets, user must have attended the wiki for at least 1 month.
 * No anons allowed.

Category Cleanup
There are a ton of terrible and unnecessary categories on this wiki that need to be gotten rid of. Propose the catgory that you think needs to be done away with, and I will give a yes or no within a day, probably a few hours.

How to delete categories
Anybody can delete a category. Before delete a category remove it from all pages that it is on. Then go to the category page, if it has no text, add text. Then click on the arrow and delete it. A big group of categories that I think need to be deleted are ones that can be classified under a single Umbrella term. For example, extortion and illegal gambling should be deleted because they can both just be classified under racketeering.

Categories that should be deleted:

 * Arson
 * Pornography
 * Counterfeiting
 * Extortion
 * Union Corruption
 * Armed Robbery
 * Protection
 * Blackmail
 * Loansharkingg
 * Illegal Gambling
 * Chop Shop
 * Drug Dealing
 * Drug Smuggling
 * Weapons Trafficking (arms trafficking works fine, thank you.)
 * Gangs Founded in the 70's (and all categories based upon date/year of founding)
 * All categories named after an organization, such as Cicada, Leone Crime Family, etc.
 * Organization
 * Organized Crime Groups (Criminal Organization works just fine)
 * Mexican Cartels
 * Colombian Cartels
 * Black Market
 * Contract Services
 * Corruption
 * Money Laundering
 * Free Criminals.

Well there's a ton of categories that need to be done away with, and there are plenty more. Find them!

Wiki Templates
In order to make things look better and more professional, we are going to add several wiki templates including infoboxes. So far we have this:

Organization Infobox
Based In, Founded By, Years Active, Territory, Ethnicity, Members, Businesses, Allies, Rivals, Networth ______________________________________________________________________________________ If you have any ideas to add to these infoboxes, please do suggest. Also if you have an idea for any template, infobox or not suggest it as well.
