Forum:CT Archive/Complete articles

This idea has been sitting in the back of my mind for some time now, and with the recent debate over FAs, I finally went through with it.

Proposed system: Complete articles

Very simple explanation
Articles can be marked as "complete."

Simple explanation
Separate from the FA and WP:GA systems, "complete articles" (CA) quite simply contain all relevant information related to the topic and Wookieepedia in general.

Major changes
While this system is based on the FA and GA systems, there are several major differences:


 * 1) Main requirement is completeness of content, which involves fully sourcing articles, listing every appearance, mention, etc.
 * 2) Length matters not.
 * 3) Prose matters less. While we would definitely want articles to be written well, writing in and of itself does not reflect the status of an article "completeness."
 * 4) CA status can be revoked and/or restored if and when new information is revealed.

Extreme example
This example would be the most extreme case of a CA:

If "bdaslhkjljfe" is mentioned to be a planet in one source, the properly-formatted article: "bdaslhkjljfe was a planet." could be marked "complete."
