Xenosaga[edit]

You might want to place the content within the guide for Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur Macht or another suitable game (although it's not usually necessary to copy an entire article). Category:Xenosaga is meant to list the Xenosaga games instead of being a detailed description of the entire series, and isn't used as a place to obtain a walkthrough or information for a game. --Sigma 7 03:44, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Here's the thing – almost none of the content you imported can be used here. Besides the characters' names and a few sentences describing them, the rest of the information concerns an overarching plot analysis, which is frankly not what the site is about. This wiki is for detailing how to beat games, and doesn't aim to be a fansite. Your contributions are better served at an actual Xenosaga wiki, where they are interested in everything about it.
The other issue is that everything you copied is in need of a ton of work to cleanup and make usable for us. This requires culling out the pertinent information, cleaning up all the bad links and refs, and subpaging what's left to the appropriate guides, one of which doesn't even exist yet. If you feel like taking on that large task yourself, then by all means go ahead. However, until the information is usable, it's better for it to sit on the Wikipedia pages where it belongs, rather than subpaged off of a category redirect. If the pages come up for deletion on WP, then perhaps we can "save" them here, but even then it may not be worth it due to how little of it belongs on a guide.
By the way, have you played the games? We could really use walkthroughs for them! :) — najzereT 11:58, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
