			::I was actually thinking about doing a link to both the sa-matra.net page and the appropriate diff page. I think both would be useful - my main problem with just including the diff page (while useful as you point out) is that it's format is very specialized for showing the diffs and not easy reading. I'll see what I can pull together on both these ideas...
			::As to the mouse-over thingy, I remember briefly looking at something like that when I was working on the note and ref templates. I have no idea though if it's possible, but for me (<sarcasm> a completely unbiased editor </sarcasm>) the current note and ref format works fine for referencing the controversial/esoteric bits (I don't think we need to reference every little bit else every sentence would be referenced). --[[User:Fyzixfighter\|Fyzixfighter]] 22:13, 10 October 2007 (CEST)

	I can't think of any other sites that have unique databases that we could use in a similar manner. I don't mind the linking to wikipedia to explain esoteric terms, though I don't think it benefits much to link to wikipedia's (or other database's) articles on the actual SC topics (like "****_(Star Control)").

			== linking to pages on other sites/databases ==

			I've got two ideas in particular (mainly after seeing something similar on a wiki for another video game):
			# Including a "quotes"/"dialog" link in the RaceBox to the appropriate part of sa-matra.net's database of SC quotes. We have something [http://uqm.stack.nl/diff/ similar], but that's for a different purpose. Honestly, I use sa-matra.net more frequently and it this would be a friendly nod to an excellent resource.
			# A "3DO" link in the ShipBox to the appropriate SC 2 3DO page on PONAF. I think this is a nice compromise that still gives access to those 3d spinning vids (and narrations) without having to upload them here.

			I can't think of any other sites that have unique databases that we could use in a similar manner. I don't mind the linking to wikipedia to explain esoteric terms, though I don't think it benefits much to link to wikipedia's (or other database's) articles on the actual SC topics (like "****_(Star Control)").

+Man, it's been a while since I was last here. Now that I found this discussion page, maybe I can put forward this question for the entire community that I originally asked [[User:Svdb|Svdb]]:
 What's the Ultronomicon style for referring to the Captain? I've seen [[The Captain]] and [[Captain Zelnick]] used interchangeably in the text, though the latter is, of course, a redirect to The Captain. Either use is fine, but it'll probably help to be consistent throughout the documentation. To help with this, I'd like to create a style guide (at [[Ultronomicon:Manual of Style]] or something similar) and mention such style decisions there.  Of course, anything that we don't make a decision on will defer to the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Manual of Style|Wikipedia style guide]], as per [[Ultronomicon:Editing Essentials]].
