Table of Contents everywhere?
I'm not extatic about the idea of having a table of contents on every page. Some pages are just going to be too small or focused on one topic not to need so many headers as to merit a ToC (afaik, four). Also, what's the point when something gets long enough to merit its own page? I had a bit of a struggle over this when I typed up the basic Unit page, wondering whether I should describe morale as much as needed, or whether to give an overview then link to the main page. I know morale effects regions as well as units, but ignoring the region morale it gives you an idea of the problem. DorianGray 20 July 2005 11:45 (CEST)
Any longer article should have a TOC. If your article is very short, you should check if it really justifies being it's own article. --Tom 20 July 2005 15:48 (CEST)
Also, to solve your particular problem - work with templates. Here's how it could work:
- Write Template:Troops morale and Template:Region morale
- On the Troops page include the troops morale template
- On the Regions morale page include... you guessed it
- On the generic Morale page, include both...
Mind you, this is probably not the nobel-prize winning idea, but maybe a good start. --Tom 20 July 2005 15:48 (CEST)
