Scenario article naming and categorization conventions
A while back it was agreed upon that scenario articles that would overlap with the base game articles would be named " (Civ6)/", so, for example, "Teutonic Knight (Civ6)/Jadwiga's Legacy", as Teutonic Knight (Civ6) already exists in the base base game. Now, I propose that we change all scenario articles to follow the common " (Civ6)/" format.
Furthermore, scenario items should not appear in the same categories as base game items. It's currently very confusing to see, say, Aliens (Civ6) and Zombies (Civ6) included in Category:Civilizations (Civ6). I propose the relevant templates be modified so that they add the scenario articles into categories such as "Category:Civilizations () (Civ6)", so, for example, Category:Civilizations (Red Death) (Civ6).

Protecting Civilopedia entries
I started a little project to protect the Civilopedia entries of certain articles. It has happened quite often that people don't realize that the Civilopedia section should be a direct quote of Civilopedia, so people have edited the section. It then takes some time and effort from other users to revert that edit and to explain the revert to the original editor. So in order to save time from everybody, I have now extracted and protected the Civilopedia sections of all Civilizations (Civ6). My gut feeling is that those are the sections that need this process the most, but we might want to broaden the scope of this later. As far as I'm concerned, any admin is free to extract and protect further Civilopedia entries if they want to.
