Comments
It's spelled Grey, I think. Regardless, shouldn't all these go under something like OfficialLocations so they can be categorized? -Xeriar
- IMO, it would be better to make an OfficialLocations page and then link Canon locations to it, than to have every official location be a subpage of one page.
- You're probably right about the grey / gray spelling. I'll fix it after I get home to check my books. -- JesseLowe
- There are several hundred Canon locations. Break them down by type or direction but - honestly, a lot of these will refer to each other and putting them all as root nodes isn't making good use of the Wiki's organization ability. -Xeriar
- Locations already breaks them up by direction. My reasoning for making discrete locations as top-level pages is twofold:
- First, according to BestPractices, we're supposed to avoid subpages whenever possible, confining their use to either user pages or if the article is at the very lowest level of organization.
- Second, I'd eventually like to see more than just cross-references in the locations, and what I'd like to see might be best done as subpages of the location article.GrayRiver/Fiction,GrayRiver/LocalColor,GrayRiver/AdventureSeeds,GrayRiver/Rumors,GrayRiver/Secrets,GrayRiver/Characters, etc. Doing the article itself as a subpage prevents this.
