I glanced yesterday at a recent dictionary 'of

Here's a thought, addressed to one part of 'what do we do about
popular culture articles?' A new wiki, Wikifable, could be a place to
transwiki material which was basically narrative treatment of myths
(Norse, manga, soap operas ...). WP itself should be left with
analytical and scholarly treatment of myths. Wikifable would have to
work out its own protocols (canon, fourth wall, sources ...) but they
could be independent of WP's.
Ah good, I can go braindump my speculations on The Ring Cycle... you do
realise that this would be perfect for Wikia, right? And that we should
be a little more liberal in our attitude to external links? You can
almost guarantee that an external link will survive if it's to
"{{PAGENAME}} Wiki"...
