I was under the impression you could simply edit one section?

I think we should have a separate page for Tolkien missions, by Kі nо Shirayuki on 2022-08-06 13:09:11 UTC Reply

because the LotR section on the Killed Badfic/Literature list is too long. I want comm feedback before I go ahead and start the page.

How do you mean it's too long? by Neshomeh on 2022-08-06 15:00:12 UTC Reply

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe anyone reads down the entire page to find things. More likely, people use the table of contents to navigate to whatever continuum interests them. So, what's the problem with a long section if you can just skip around it?

~Neshomeh isn't sure many people look at the Killed Badfic pages at all, actually.

As in there are too many entries in that section by Kі nо Shirayuki on 2022-08-06 23:42:01 UTC Reply

and it makes the page as a whole much longer and bigger. Besides, it's also harder to edit the page.

Though I haven't touched the Wiki in a while. I wouldn't be opposed to making a Tolkien mission subpage and only leaving, say, notable Tolkien missions (TOS + any Legendaries, probably) with a link to the full page at the top of the section. But don't take that as a greenlight to do it until there's a broader consensus.

On a similar note, maybe the List of RCs might need to be subdivided like the Glossary of PPC Characters is, since the length + all the numbers in it being loaded as equations = the page freezes too much when trying to save edits.

So, you'd support phasing out the Killed Badfic lists entirely? by Neshomeh on 2022-08-08 16:08:54 UTC Reply

'Cause yeah, moving that information to continuum pages (and sometimes character pages) would also mean one less thing to edit when updating. {= D

I can get on board with that. by doctorlit on 2022-08-12 03:03:06 UTC Reply

I still think it's fun seeing how much ground we've covered at a glance, but I guess with the KB page split into multiples anyway, we don't really have that. And if people are having trouble editing the pages, we should try to alleviate that.

I am totally on board with this plan! (nm) by Linstar on 2022-08-11 17:16:15 UTC Reply

I kinda do? by Kі nо Shirayuki on 2022-08-11 03:15:07 UTC Edited Reply

There are continua with too few missions to warrant their own pages (many having only one each), and I'd support keeping killed badfic lists in order to keep track of fic names and reduce the chances of overwriting other people's missions.

I would. by Linstar on 2022-08-08 17:43:36 UTC Reply

Honestly, the Killed Badfic pages are unnecessary—though to get rid of them, we’ll have to create some continuum pages.

—Ls really likes this idea.

Yes, the Grand Timeline is very large. by Huinesoron on 2022-08-07 07:27:28 UTC Reply

That would be, in fact, one reason it is still sitting in my user namespace, where you can't even find it by searching "Grand Timeline". It's almost as though I haven't got it ready for people to edit yet, right?

...but I just want to add the interlude and mission I’ve written. That’s all.

It is a draft page. by Huinesoron on 2022-08-08 19:57:48 UTC Reply

It is not live. It is literally a subpage of my user page. Please do not edit it.

Perhaps it doesn’t work on all devices? by Linstar on 2022-08-06 15:19:59 UTC Reply

And it’s annoying to scroll down.
