I chunked the monolithic list on the category page into three pieces, float, int & string settings - each of those is it's own include template. The category page still looks the same but now you can edit the sections without having to scroll through ~50Kb of text. We could also include those lists on other pages if we wanted to, though I really don't see a reason why we would. --[[User:Halo112358|Halo112358]] 19:08, 7 April 2006 (EDT) | I chunked the monolithic list on the category page into three pieces, float, int & string settings - each of those is it's own include template.

:Here's a separate page for the massive settings list: [[Comprehensive_Settings_List]]. I haven't moved the list off of the Category page because I wanted to see what people thought of the idea first. I think it's probably a good idea to make the list a "click for huge page of data" kind of thing instead of shoveling 50Kb of text at people as soon as they land in the Settings category.If no one objects I'll do it sometime next week - otherwise let's chat. --[[User:Halo112358|Halo112358]] 19:43, 7 April 2006 (EDT) | :Here's a separate page for the massive settings list: [[Comprehensive_Settings_List]].

== Collapsing similar pages == | |||
I've collapsed a number of similar pages into lists to reduce the number of articles appearing in the settings category. If you're adding new articles that deal with a number of similar settings, ie: iLockLevelMaxVeryEasy, iLockLevelMaxEasy, iLockLevelMaxAverage, iLockLevelMaxHard, etc.. please consider a list page instead of a number of small pages. This also makes future edits faster, instead of updating 5-10 pages you only need to update one. | |||
''Note:'' In some cases it would be nice to add redirect stubs into categories that aren't as full, I've tried creating redirect stub pages of this form: | |||
<nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Collapsed Page XX]] | |||
[[Category:Foo Category]]</nowiki> | |||
Unfortunately mediawiki doesn't support these sorts of stubs, everything after the <nowiki>#REDIRECT</nowiki> declaration is ignored. If this ever changes, or someone finds a workaround, please drop me a note. --[[User:Halo112358|Halo112358]] 19:26, 22 April 2006 (EDT) | |||
