[edit] Theory Page

Because speculation is an unavoidable part of this series, a theory page may be appropriate. --The Radio Star 20:17, 18 November 2006 (EST)

Good idea but there would be loads of 4400 theorys and the page would be giant --Jordan C 02:24, 19 November

The theories will be divided by topic, and if it gets too large we can divide it. --The Radio Star 01:12, 19 November 2006 (EST)

I'm of the opinion we should really attempt *not* to put any theories on articles. MatthewFenton 08:13, 13 December 2006 (EST)

I agree, theories and speculation belong in talk pages, not in the main article. --GeoMike 11:40, 13 December 2006 (EST)

I believe that we should have a theories page, but only include those that have been recognized by the writers. See the Production Blog --Over10538 21:35, 15 December 2006 (EST)

[edit] List of Abilities

Why don't we have a list of all the abilities in the 4400 and the known uses of them -- Jordan C 16:09, 8 December 2006

Sounds like a nice idea. MatthewFenton 08:58, 9 December 2006 (EST)

Interesting, but could you explain what this would entail? You mean like a single page that groups the abilities by category (mind, matter manipulation, etc)? --Mateo 10:52, 9 December 2006 (EST)

Yes along with the 4400s that poess the ability --Jordan C 21:38, 14 December 2006

It should be somewhat easy to list the abilities, since many are simply explained

[edit] Non 4400s with abilitys

Should we create a non 4400s with abilitys category as their are already several now eg.Kevin and bound to be more in season 4 -- Jordan C 21:40, 14 december 2006

We don't have too many right now. Just Kevin, the soldiers, and an unnamed woman from El Paso. If there are more in the future (Season 4 is still months away), then this category might be fine. --The Radio Star 21:43, 14 December 2006 (EST)

[edit] Characters and their categories

Is there an order in which categories should be listed for characters. For instance; NTAC, People, Unseen Characters, Dead Characters. Should People come first, then NTAC? Should Unseen come before Dead or vice versa? I think it would be good to have a standard when it comes to order of categories. --GeoMike 21:39, 14 December 2006 (EST)

Maybe we should just get rid of "People" altogether. Since we have a character page and character templates, it's pretty much empty empty calories. The more important categories should go first. For your example, I would say NTAC, Unseen, then Dead. --The Radio Star 21:46, 14 December 2006 (EST)

I disagree -- I think we should keep it. It adds an extra means for people to find data that they're looking for, and lets people walk down a hierarchy. --Vigilyn 09:36, 16 December 2006 (EST)

[edit] Interviewed 4400s

Should there be a page that strings together the 4400s that interviews were shown in the Pilot as most of them are stubs and we can't add much information about them -- Jordan C 15:15, 17 December 2006

I think that is a good idea, as we haven't seen much more about those small interviews besides the ones that turned out to be major characters. --GeoMike 14:17, 4 January 2007 (EST)

[edit] Important Dates

Is there any way that we could have a small section on the main page, that for instance would say Happy Birthday Summer Glau on her birthday (and all other cast that we have birthdays for) - this could also be used for important dates in 4400 history - like "This is the anniversary of the first episode". --GeoMike 14:17, 4 January 2007 (EST)

I've been trying to figure out a way to start a countdown to the start of Season Four using Wikicode. This site isn't accepting JavaScript. We could ask MatthewFenton if he knows of any Wikicode which could do what we want to do. --The Radio Star 16:47, 4 January 2007 (EST)

[edit] Extra Series Material Category

I have noticed that most if not all of the items in the Extra Series Material template are uncatorgorized and then only possible category we could put them in is Glossary but then that would be filled with articles we can't find categorys for so i suggest we make an Extra Series Material category --Jordan C 13:47, 9th June, 2007 (BST)
