But, I do not oppose devoting a section here to help develop and incubate that while attention is currently being drawn here. I think a notability-which I do remember being discussed at least twice, yes-might be out of scope. Untropicalisland ( talk) 22:05, 20 August 2021 (UTC) I've also brought up on a few talk pages if we should have guidelines regarding notability and how D&D canon that is not confirmed to be Exandria/CR Canon should be handled and I'm wondering if this would be helpful to include here, or if it's out of scope.

I don't have advice on how to best do this, but I do think it would be helpful to have separate pages for some more in-depth topics - categories and linking both seem deserving of more space. FreckledMcCree ( talk) 00:41, 20 August 2021 (UTC) Any further advice or suggestions about focusing? I would like as broad an input as possible. Work in steps.īut, also, I welcome other solutions to this problems. Once these are split off, it'll be easier to rewrite and refactor, then split off more. I believe there are arguments for other sections are good candidates, but I think we should start with these. If an editor is struggling with referencing, it'll be more helpful to send them to a page specifically about that, without making them feel they need to know all these other things as well. It'll allow more focused guidance and advice to new editors, as it'll allow us to more specifically send them to a single page, without making them feel overwhelmed by a longer guide. It's common practice at many large wikis, such as Wookieepedia, the Marvel wiki, the MCU wiki, and others to have a collection of focused pages. However, it would also be in more digestible chunks. The downside would be that there are more pages to look at. Tables, for the same reason as categories.Categories, which is more niche of a topic and splitting it off will downplay how much a new editor might feel they have to worry about it.Referencing practices, which will (like spoilers) allow us to link to a page dedicated to just that, which might be useful, it will also create a more robust version of referencing advice in Help:Wiki Editing Cheatsheet.Spoiler policy, which would also allow linking to a page that's only about that, even off the main page, and I think that'll be useful.I would be glad to hear some ideas alternative solutions about that, but my current thoughts about the specifically splitting solution are to split off the following sections: FreckledMcCree ( talk) 18:19, 10 August 2021 (UTC) Splitting off into smaller pages Īs I stated elsewhere, I've been giving some thought about how it might be good to split this into smaller pages that present more focused advice and give this page more breathing room, make it look less intimidating. I also moved a bunch of other general advice about section headers into it. I created a section for this, #Section headers, tentatively with language for sentence case per consistency. FreckledMcCree ( talk) 01:22, 7 August 2021 (UTC)Ĭount my vote for proper capitalization for consistency. I'd love to hear your thoughts on which seems more common or better to use, Title Case or proper noun / sentence case. (For comparison, Wikipedia and many other wikis, like Wookieepedia, use sentence case.) I'll take a look around and keep a note to add something. A lot of articles use title case, but that feels inconsistent with how article titles moving toward proper noun capitalization and sentence case, and some articles do use sentence case in section titles. What is the consensus here? - unsigned comment by User:SorcererSupreme21 ( talk) Very good call! I'm not sure what the consensus is. Might I suggest adding something regarding capitalization in section names? Everywhere else, including article titles, etc., we only capitalize proper nouns, but sections capitalization seems to be random across the wiki. ~ FreckledMcCree ( Send me a message!) 18:09, 1 September 2021 (UTC) Material in Adventure Hooks (and related).Contradictory Orcish Lore, and TCS Reborn Retcons.
