Allegiances, Cliffnotes and Galleries - Subpages?
Alright so I was talking to Cloudy earlier about this and asked her why the allegiance, gallery, and cliffnote pages weren't subpages of their respective books. That's basically what they are; extensions to the main book article that have just been given their own page. Also, the chapter pages are made as subpages, as well as the new browse pages, so it'd make sense to have them all that way. It'd require edits to a couple templates, but nothing too major would need changing except for the page names. It would also help it seem a bit more organized on category pages and just when browsing to have them as subpages. So I think we should move them. What do you guys think? 08:10, September 26, 2012 (UTC)

I'd be up for this. I've never quite understood why they're regular pages myself, and I've wondered this multiple times. I wouldn't mind changing this, since the allegiances, cliffnotes, and galleries are just more information on a certain article. We would just have to move the pages, which wouldn't be that big of a deal, since it just takes a couple of clicks.

I was wondering this a while ago, also. I think it would be a great idea to have them as subpages, like Cloudy and Paleh said, it would only take a few clicks. 02:20, September 28, 2012 (UTC)

I like this. It never really occurred to me that they weren't subpages already. I'm all for this. 21:23, October 13, 2012 (UTC)

I always did wonder this, really. I'm up for this idea definately. owo

Okay, so it appears we've come to an agreement, since there hasn't been any comments against this idea, and no comments for about a week. So, how are we going to go about moving the cliffnotes, allegiances, and galleries to subpages? Only admins can move pages, and I don't want to leave a slew of pages for them to have to delete if we simply create the new subpages, paste everything from the originals to the new pages, and mark the old page for deletion. I also don't want to pile the entire process on the shoulders of our admins to move the pages, either. Unless they're willing BD  Any suggestions..?... 03:39, October 23, 2012 (UTC)

Anybody can move pages. But just admins can suppress redirects. And at least for a little while till we get everything changed, we'll still want redirects. So we can do it fine without needing to pile a ton of work on an admin. And the redirects can stay for a while and when we know for sure everything's been changed up, we can just mark them for deletion, or even leave them in case some returning members get confused when trying to search for the page. 04:31, November 2, 2012 (UTC)

I see no issues with this, and since no one's really said anything against it, I say go ahead and move 'em. The only thing that'll need to be changed is on the templates used on the pages, and the templates, but, that isn't going to take very long.

The way in which we're going to move all the pages however depends on whether we want to use the redirects or not. I think that we shouldn't have redirects because they won't be needed for long periods of time, and people make extremely minor edits to change links from being redirects anyways. They also won't be necessary in searches either because it's still the same set of words, just with a bunch of words added on in the beginning of the title. And to add on a personal reason, I don't have the time to delete redirects, nor do I want redirects cluttering up the wiki. o3o 23:25, November 7, 2012 (UTC)

I agree with that, 'teldy. The redirects /are/ a waste of space, imho, and we have them enough with character articles. ._. I think they should just be moved to the proper page names, suppressing the redirect. But, keep in mind, if we suppress the redirect, that's something /only/ an admin can do. They're pretty much the same thing, although they're just being moved to a subpage.

I really don't wnat to leave redirects...yes, people might not be able to find the page right away, but they'll grow used to it over time. I still say we suppress the redirect. However, I don't want to over-burden our admins with this task. 23:29, November 17, 2012 (UTC)

Have we come to a conclusion on this? 00:01, November 26, 2012 (UTC)

Previous/Next
Okay, so on the chapter subpages should there be links up at the top of the page, probably under the page numbers, linking to the next and previous chapter in the book? A bit like how there's the preceeded by/followed by bit on the main book pages. I know you could just scroll down to the bottom to find the link, but some of these chapters end up having quite a bit of content in them. 00:23, November 28, 2012 (UTC)

I wouldn't mind that suggestion, actually. and for lazy people like me who can't be bothered to scroll from here to the moon and back... Anyone else? 05:09, November 29, 2012 (UTC)

I like this idea, too. And I admit, I'm a lazy bum and would use this. 12:11 Thursday November 29 2012

I'm in support of this. ouo 19:44, November 29, 2012 (UTC)

Hmm... I like this idea. Could we make a template for it, or, just manually enter the chapters. Personally, I think a template would be easier, unless that's not possible. I'm not exactly sure. Regardless, I /do/ like the idea and think we should use it. Like Leggo, I'm lazy as all hell.

I love this, perhaps a template saying what chapter you're on and whar chapter is before and after. x3 21:36, November 29, 2012 (UTC)

Into the Wild/Chapter 6 - Silver Nomination
