I think the section should be summarized and have links instead of jamming everything. It looks messy and also surpasses the Wiki Standards. Maybe recreate the articles again?

:- :Agreed. However, Ajax, HaloDude, Simon rjh, and I had an argument and I was out-voted :( Therefore, I'm afraid it will have to stay as is, unless the other admins agree with us. [[ | :- :Agreed.

Nah, They just need to be cleaned up, lazy editors are at fault for it look terrible. Besides, 'little skirmishes' don't get their own article. i've been told that for as long as i've been here.

*Outbreak and Silent Cartographer were pages already existing. However, TSC, the Assault on the Control Room and the majority of pages left to cover on battles during the 04 campaign I do agree should be merged with the main page (having not touched cartographer and only created AOTCR by merging the Halo Nation page). | *Outbreak and Silent Cartographer were pages already existing.

::Let me know what you think of these plans. The way me(and CMDRRileySV for Reach/Earth) have been looking to structure the battles side of the site is to treat planets like Campaigns, and create "battle hubs" with a lot of detailed information on each one, taking influence from how wikipedia structures the Western Front of WW2 (and other similar theatres) and how Wookipedia looks at the Outer Rim Sieges in the Clone Wars. The hope then is to treat a page like Harvest Campaign/ Battle of Reach/Earth/04 as a general overview to the larger campaign on the planetary body, with detailed specific links to ground engagements where necessary. Information from lootcrate, Halo 5 and FTR means a lot of events have a lot more detailed information than can (or should) be reasonably included in the main Battle of 04 page, as I want to avoid [[John-117]] syndrome. I'm definitely open to suggestions as after merging over the AOTCR page from Halo Nation and doing some touch ups, I agree some engagements I planned to include don't have quite as much page potential as I'd initially thought.[[User:BaconShelf|BaconShelf]] ([[User talk:BaconShelf|talk]]) 11:58, January 1, 2020 (EST) | ::Let me know what you think of these plans.

[Reset indent] So this article's major overhaul and rewrite is nearly complete, so I figured I'd just update on this discussion. As it stands, [[Template:Engagements in the Battle of Installation 04]] still retains links to pretty much all of the smaller battles in the Installation 04 campaign, but many of the smaller engagements (such as McKay's ambush on the Covenant or the Pillar of Autumn's destruction) now instead link directly to sections on this page, while others such as the Battle of Alpha Base with a lot of detail to go into have parent pages that delve into the finer details of unit deployments etc while leaving a general overview on the hub Battle of Installation 04 page. I'd welcome some feedback as to what articles should be kept and what should be incorporated into this page. As it stands, I intend to keep the Raid on the Library on this page, and the Silent Cartographer and AOTCR on their own pages, though I'm still unsure (following my passover on the AOTCR page) whether they'll necessarily need their own pages. The Battle for T&R page will really delve into some of the finer details of the capture of the ship by Silva and co, so I feel it best to keep it separate. | |||
Thoughts are appreciated.[[User:BaconShelf|BaconShelf]] ([[User talk:BaconShelf|talk]]) 11:16, February 7, 2020 (EST) | |||
