Talk:Participants in the Fall of Reach

Necessary

Is this separate page really necessary??? Shouldn't it just be left as it originally was??? It makes no sense for this to have its own page.--WarGrowlmon18 (talk) 13:31, November 24, 2019 (EST)

Tis a small experiment from Halo Nation. One that may help us a lil bit more via tweeking and so on.-CIA391 (talk) 13:57, November 24, 2019 (EST)

To add on to CIA's comment: I believe that it is necessary. The Fall of Reach page is massive, and will likely expand quite a bit even with just the currently available media. As per our Manual of Style it needs to be broken down a bit more. A separate page is also in line with how some conflicts on Wikipedia separate out information. It also allows for more specific information and incidental information to have a home. For example, if a character off-handedly says they were at the Fall of Reach, it would likely fit here more so than being put into the Fall of Reach page. As well, it fits into an unofficial (and maybe this needs to be added to our policies) design choice of having hub pages that link to a number of more specific topics. The Fall of Reach page can act as that hub for this and other such specific pages. As well, if a user wants to find just the participants of the battle, they can come here instead of having to scroll through the Fall of Reach page

So, separating the Participants into its own space, not only reduces the size of the Fall of Reach page, is consistent with other wikis and other design choices here, allows for information that might be hard to fit on the larger page, and it allows for users to easily find information.CMDR RileySV (talk) 14:00, November 24, 2019 (EST)

Just pitching in to say I support this page and others like it. Separate sub-pages for more detailed sections such as battle Timelines and maybe smaller engagements (in the FoR's case, Siege of New Alexandria or UPPER CUT etc) with the Fall of Reach (or other equivalent for other battles like I04 and Earth) serving as a hub will improve navigation a lot.

Wouldn't it be better to have it as an actual sub-page, though? I.E. "Fall of Reach/Participants", so that way it is better tied to the main event's page? - DefeatingLine (talk) 21:54, November 24, 2019 (EST)

[Reset Indent] I'd say not, but I just dislike pages done in that style on a personal level. BaconShelf (talk) 03:28, November 25, 2019 (EST)
