Talk:Alebad (Realm)/Regions

Just setting up the page layout now. Actual content will be added as soon as possible. --Calvin November 19:56, 23 May 2006 (CEST)

Anyone know an easy way, without increasing a table's border, to add a "padding" or "margin" around the outside of a table? --Calvin November 10:01, 25 May 2006 (CEST)

I noticed two "standards" in use here on the wiki. Oritolon's regions are filed under Oritolon. For example, Oritolon/Regions#Windaria so that all the Oritolon Regions could be listed on the same wiki page. Giblot's regional pages are listed by themselves, as in Colonies/Ammersfield. The former lends itself to better continuity, I think. But the latter implies the fluid nature of region ownership. Should I change to the latter format with the wiki's Move function (though I've never used that before), use redirects or leave it as is? --Calvin November 17:40, 25 May 2006 (CEST)

Now that the info on this page has been moved to seperate pages (Alebad, Bode Batura and Vir el Mari heights), I suppose this one can be deleted. --Calvin November 23:41, 25 May 2006 (CEST)

Indeed, the Official standard is making regions subpages of their Continent. For the purpose you mention, because regions change hands. If we didnt do this there could be about five different places to go for information on just one region. So better to make the subpages. Of course to find the Official decision to make regions subpages you must actually dig deep in a murky talk page somewhere so you know, quite an easy mistake to make - Revan

I just learned a neat trick to get the "best of both worlds". See Alebad. I've embedded the separate region pages in the realm page. Like this:

 ==Regions==<!-- These "region" pages are embedded versions (as per http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Embed_page). Please edit the originals directly. --Calvin November on 00:27, 4 June 2007 (CEST) -->
 {{:Colonies/Abaka}}
 {{:Colonies/Alebad}}
 {{:Colonies/Bode_Batura|Bode Batura}}
 {{:Colonies/Vir_el_Mari_heights|Vir el Mari heights}}
 {{:Colonies/Windaria|Windaria}}

Pretty neato, don't you think? The only "issue" I can foresee is if you try to edit a section that includes only embedded pages, that "section edit page" makes the section look empty. --Calvin November ^t/_c on 11:09, 7 June 2007 (CEST)
