What to do with these pages?
« on: November 20, 2009, 10:23:10 PM »
Lately I've been trying to clean up some of the pages on base items that had information missing (and clean up the formatting a bit while I was at it).

In the process I stumbled across a number of incomplete summary pages that had been started but never finished. Most of these appear to be pages that were an attempt to list all of the items for purchase on a particular tab, like this: http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Tech_Workshop

For the decoration tabs that does make a lot of sense, but for the tabs with functional items i think it makes more sense just to change it to a redirect for the appropriate item type, (i.e. http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Base_Workshop_Items) since these pages provide a more complete listing of information on the relevant subject.

Similarly these two pages:
http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Tech_Base_Items
http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Mystic_Base_Items

They don't really serve any useful purpose (and the information that they do have is horribly out of date) so I'd like to replace them with a redirect to http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Base_Items

Does anyone have any good reasons for not doing this?

Off the top of my head, the only reason I could think of not to do what you want to do here would be a consideration of size in the final consolidated page.  But I don't know how big the page would end up being when it's all said and done and whatever format the page ends up in may make a big difference in how that plays out, too.

I don't personally have any objections to what you want to do, and I'd rather see things more up to date than sitting with stale info.

The pages I want to redirect to already exist and aren't very big. I think the largest is this one:
