Me? I personally like to have the Gallery, See Also, Navigation toward the bottom of the page, with External Links at the very bottom. I'm in favor of a separate Glitches section, providing there are enough glitches to warrant it. Otherwise, just lump it in with Trivia. But that's just me.

:Yeah, I follow the same idea that if there's only a couple of glitches/mistakes then it shouldn't really need its own section. For cleanliness, I'd rather fuse all of them together under trivia but then that can lead to bloated to lists so (if noting glitches/mistakes needs to be mentioned) then the separate sections do warrant purpose. Perhaps we set a rule of thumb at four being the minimum requirement to warrant the section?

:Further, I follow the rule that such sections come before Galleries and Galleries always come before the trivia section. These sort of conversations rarely happen these days though given how small our community has become over the years since the game released. Still, good of you to clarify.

Revision as of 10:06, 19 February 2020

See also, references, external links, and navigational tables

I feel the text in this section should be changed from:

The last sections, if they exist, should always be "See also", followed by "References", followed by "External links". In the case of "See also", use bullets to list the internal links. Under the references section should be placed <references/>. Finally, in the external links should be all external links.

To:

The last sections, if they exist, should always be "See also", followed by "References", followed by "External links", followed by "Navigation". In the case of "See also", use bullets to list the internal links. Under the references section should be placed <references/>. In the external links should be all external links. Finally, in the navigation section, the section header should be preceded by a {{clr}} tag.

This way the navigation section is explicitly mentioned. Also the reason for the {{clr}} tag is to prevent the section heading and the actual navboxes from being far apart as is the case on many artifact articles with long infoboxes and small amounts of content.

A Question on the Order of Sections

Is there a convention, or rule of thumb, for the order of sections such as "Gallery", "Trivia", "Glitches", and "Mistakes" (which I think should be combined with trivia)? I know these all go after the main content of the article and before "See Also", "References", "External Links", and "Navigation". I don't particularly have an opinion as to which is correct here, I just want to make it consistent across various article. But I'm not about to start changing articles until I know which is correct. Thank you for your help!   John     Talk Contribs     16:29, February 18, 2020 (UTC)

Good question. We'd best take that up with Snivystorm and come up with a consensus if there isn't a set rule already.

Me? I personally like to have the Gallery, See Also, Navigation toward the bottom of the page, with External Links at the very bottom. I'm in favor of a separate Glitches section, providing there are enough glitches to warrant it. Otherwise, just lump it in with Trivia. But that's just me.
