Wiki Question: Tokis
In the Scratch Wiki, Tokis is a stub article, and I do not know much about Tokis. So if anyone has information on Tokis, or could link to a project on Tokis, that would be much appreciated!

Wiki Question: Tokis
Do we really need a wiki article for fictional characters secluded to the Scratch website? I'm concerned that would set a precedent for users who want to create their own fictional characters and result in a bunch of stub articles flooding the wiki.

I'd say we delete the article. It's just something popular only on Scratch, causing… well, read cheddar's post.

Wiki Question: Tokis
Do we really need a wiki article for fictional characters secluded to the Scratch website? I'm concerned that would set a precedent for users who want to create their own fictional characters and result in a bunch of stub articles flooding the wiki.Let me bring up a some talk from the List of Operating Systems talk page:
Veggieman001:
I feel like this page will lead to pages about projects, and lists of other types of projects. I thought that that wasn't what the Scratch Wiki was for… ?
Andresmh:
I don't see anything wrong with pages about projects. If they become an issue (which I don't expect they will) then we'll deal with it then and add more standards for “notability”. For now, focus only on Operating System projects that have more than one version AND more than one person involved in them.
Veggieman001:
But what makes operating systems more notable than other projects?
Andresmh
OS are not more notable than other types of projects. Every trend in Scratch that has been active for a few months and that has involved a number of people should be documented. For example, I think there should be an article about Takis (if there's isn't one). It is not just about one single project but about a project that represents a larger trend.
To note, the List of Operating Systems page was voted down awhile ago (1:6), and currently only exists as a small example list in the Operating Systems article.
Anyway, as the rule is right now, a trend needs to be widespread before it can enter the Wiki. So that should stop Scratch Wiki users (only they can make pages, if I'm correct) from making stub articles (although you could argue on what widespread means). And I also agree with Andresmh on this one. Even though this is a small topic nowadays, it is still used by lots of Scratchers, and the Scratch Wiki is about documenting Scratch. So why not include this? Although, there is the possibility of moving it to another page as a sub-section.
With regards,
