Forum:Organization and Racial Group templates
(This topic is archived. Please do not edit this page!)
Continued from the ongoing parallel discussion at Talk:Organization#Ethnic_groups_and_organizations:
There are two related problems that i think should be fixed with the consensus of the community.
Organizations
While studying and talking about organizations in the Talk:Organization#Ethnic_groups_and_organizations that i helped make it's hard to concentrate when the list itself is huge, and the same standards can't be applied to all groups, mainly the fact that small racial/ethnic groups that aren't allied with any of the big groups makes it a huge list i proposed 2 changes, with 3 possible solutions that i could think of:
- 1 Separate the main section from the racial/ethnic groups
- 2 Separate each big faction into smaller articles, like it was already done here Goblin organizations, Applied for example on the alliance would be either creating a section in the Alliance article Alliance#Organizations or a entirely new article Alliance organizations, i favour the later because it creates less problems in the faction article
- 3 do both of the above
This is all i could think off if anybody knows a way to reduce the size of this page and maintain structure this page tell me, I think the second solution is currently the best.--Ashbear160 (talk) 21:36, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
- I'll try to do the second option in a while if nobody opposes it--Ashbear160 (talk) 12:26, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
- With suggestions from Gourra i applied solution 2 you can see them at Organizations, Alliance organizations and Horde organizations, i however am in doubt if i should apply the same situation for the following "big factions": Scourge, Illidari, Burning Legion and Old Gods' Forces.--Ashbear160 (talk) 20:42, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
Racial Group Templates
The second problem is the fact that all racial group template (most examples can be seen at on of my pagesUser:Ashbear160/List of Ethnicities) they are almost all about the same type of subject different tribes/clans/nations/packs/herds/groups within a single race, which for simplicity sake i will call ethnic groups, these templates need all to be reworked to fit one or at least some sort of common standard, because some are divided into subraces, others by location, some by allegiance and even some by which type of product they appear in, and i'm really having troubles figuring out how to create a common stand for these templates, so i could use the some help figuring out the following.
- Common Name(i only thought of changing all references to tribes/clans/nations/packs/herds to either Ethnic Groups or just Groups, i think the later should be the one used)
- Common Standards for groups within the template(I think a division by subrace would be most appropiate)
- Thanks for your help.--Ashbear160 (talk) 21:36, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
