:I wonder: do you really need to use articles, Matthew? Seems to me that just a link and a bit of formatting would solve it, and the wiki directory would be much more organized. I think the Style Guide isn't just about "looking good", but about keeping the wiki maps clean, keeping pages related, categorizing the information and giving it a proper hierarchy for the admins to deal with all of it better... Though it is mostly my guess. -- [[User:Bluelake|Bluelake]] 04:42, 7 March 2008 (CET) | :I wonder: do you really need to use articles, Matthew?

"Prospective" tag template (and some other style notes)
Arylon, for the sake of clarity, please use the {{Prospective}} template on pages such as those pertaining to Everguard, which are written as if they are true, but are in fact still in the planning stages. I have added the template to the main Everguard page, but please add it to the others so that it is clear that they do not yet describe a realm that exists. --Anaris 22:40, 6 March 2008 (CET)
As another note, you might want to move the other Everguard pages to subpages of Everguard (eg, Everguard/History, Everguard/Founders, and Everguard/Wars, to name a few), and similarly with your family pages (Arylon Family/Jaden rather than Jaden Arylon, etc), to adhere to the Style Guide. --Anaris 22:54, 6 March 2008 (CET)

Subpaging
First of all, let me start by saying that I love your family pages. Very nicely done, and well-detailed. You don't see very many (if any!) people with quite such a detailed history of their families. However...
Please subpage your pages per the Style Guide! I have gone through your family pages and properly subpaged all of your individual characters, then fixed many links to them. I know I didn't get them all, and I didn't even try. The redirects will take care of it. Subpaging is very important to the organization of information. Not only that, but it makes things such as the {{main|Jaden Arylon}} links unneeded, as the wiki will automatically provide links to all of the pages higher up in the page hierarchy.
Subpaging includes not only your family pages, but all pages you create. For example, Toren Wedding should not be a root page, but should be subpaged as [[Arylon Family/Fisc/Toren Wedding]]. All of the pages dealing with Everguard should be subpaged under that realm, as Danaris has mentioned. If you need help, please ask. --Indirik 18:22, 7 March 2008 (CET)
