Talk:Minor Star Ships

Star Ship stubs should be moved to this page and then having the actual Star Ship Stub articles reduced to a REDIRECT to this Minor page. When enough info has been found out about a particular Ship the article can be expanded. The Minor Star Ship page will be easy to navigate as the Table of Contents will allow users to quickly glance over the ships that exist. --210.174.41.209 00:23, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

NO for four reasons:

1) Proper linking to a ship is difficult due to many ships being on this page, which creates a large problem- we must change all links to the previous articles to correctly take them to the right header on this page. As it stands all links will redirect to the top of this page, which is redudnant. Once a ship is worthy of its own article, we will have to change it back. There is enough else that needs doing on this wiki, we will be creating extra work.

2) This format is appropriate when on a wiki where Halo is not the primary focus, in order to save space and make the wiki more managable. This wiki is intended to focus on halo, and at 650 articles, it is very manageable.

3) In order to be consistant, we would have to make a list of all minor details in all categories, which is extremely counterproductive.

4) There would need to be a policy dictating when an article was of sufficent length to be "worthy" of its own page. Coming up with one that the community will have consensus in will be difficult, as will patrolling recent articles to make sure any new pages are consistant the policy.

All this to say, it is much easier to leave the articles as they are. -ED 00:27, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
