I don't care for it. Its over-simplifying something that doesn't need to be changed/fixed/etc. One concession I will make is the inclusion of a "cast" sub-section under each game's '''Plot'' section including their character's name and voice actor as well as a separate section to include starships and aircraft. On another note however, I have been thinking of a way we can continue to use the same format as always in an easier fashion for readers. Simply put, it will entail the creation of multiple "drop down" lists, one each for Campaign, Multiplayer, Spartan Ops, and Terminals modes. No list will be "unlocked" from the start to avoid precedent and users can view each features section at their leisure. For ''Halo 4'', with the amount of new characters in ''Spartan Ops'' introduced each episode, the characters section will be as long as the entire features list by the end of Season One. The Terminals (including the animated sequence in ''Reclaimer'') give a false representation that things such as the ancient Human, Forerunner, and Flood wars were commonplace inclusions in the story of ''Halo 4''. This new system will even give us a chance to effectively organize content revealed in ''War Games'' (locations, organizations, events, etc.). If anyone is interested in viewing an example of this, I'll be happy to write it. {{User:Grizzlei/Sig}} | I don't care for it.

:Simplification was pretty much the whole point, or more so, accessibility for those who might not know where to look (who probably make up a large portion of the wiki's readers). The above example is not final, however, just a sample of how it could work, though I'm still in favor of the basis of my proposal - that is, more obvious categories like enemies and armor, and the inclusion of the colloquial/in-game names of weapons/vehicles. As for your suggestions, I like the idea to include voice actors and drop-down lists for the different modes of the game, not just to make a distinction between Campaign/MP/Spartan Ops/Terminals but also because appearance lists typically take up an enormous portion of the page. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 04:25, 28 November 2012 (EST) | |||
I like it but Grizzlei makes some good points. Spartan Ops introduces not only new characters but other things as well, [[Requiem translocation artifact]] for example, eventually the features list could grow very long. Still, I'm fine with it either way.
