I think it would be a ''much'' better idea to have two pages: [[Morale (troop)]] and [[Morale (region)]]. That way, the [[Region]], [[Judge]] and [[Civil Work]] pages could all link to [[Morale (region)]]. Maybe have a ''short'' overview of region morale on the region page with a link to the longer explaination. -- [[User:Nicholas|Nicholas]] July 20, 2005 22:11 (CEST)

:Right, there's no master list. That's why I urge everyone to ''only'' use templates if you already ''know'' that you'll be using the content at least twice. Don't do it just because you think it might get used again. --[[User:Tom|Tom]] 20 July 2005 22:21 (CEST)

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:

Mind you, this is probably not the nobel-prize winning idea, but maybe a good start. --Tom 20 July 2005 15:48 (CEST)

My big problem with the use of Templates like that is that there doesn't seem to be a master list of them anywhere, and I'm afraid that we'll wind up with a whole lot of Templates that are just used once. -- Dolohov 20 July 2005 19:09 (CEST)
