Hopefully, this giant wall of text is comprehensible enough that we can get some serious improvements out of it. I'm entirely open to discussion, suggestions, revisions, and the like, so long as it happens. {{User:Bop1996/sig}} 18:20, 19 November 2012 (UTC) | Hopefully, this giant wall of text is comprehensible enough that we can get some serious improvements out of it.

:First of all, <u>I'm all for recategorization</u>. But I'm not sure I entirely agree with the idea of a standardized layout for organizing Area articles. For example, certain places, such as the [[Chozo Ruins]] you mentioned, are full of backstory, from everything to Chozo architecture to religious significance. On the other hand, areas like [[Magmoor Caverns]] or the [[Impact Crater]] would need to be organized completely differently because of how different they are as in-game entities. All I'm saying is that standardizing Area articles, which cover things that can be so completely diverse, might be short-sighted, or worse, restricting. | |||
:I'm not sure I see the '''benefits''' to standardizing the layout of these articles at all. Can you volley an argument for why this is necessary? You often use the phrase "ineffective," but I fail to see exactly to what you are referring. You make it sound as though the [[Chozo Ruins]] article, for example, is randomly sorted, whereas, upon closer inspection, it's actually written linearly (Founding -> their architectural legacy aka "What they did after they founded it" [which could conceivably go under the Environment heading] -> the Corruption and Space Pirate arrival, followed by the Environment heading, which covers everything as it is during Samus's arrival). Now that my opinion is way out there, I'd love to hear further evaluation from you. Anything to better the wiki! {{:User:Embyr_75/sig}} 20:47, 19 November 2012 (UTC) | |||
