User:Wrye/Cleanup

Using this site is an exercise in frustration. Much as I appreciate the recent cleanup, I still end up feeling like throwing my hands up every time I try to figure out where to find or put something. Problems:

• The use of Categories as content and TOC pages is a major problem.
  • They're not searched. These are some of the most important pages in the site and they just don't show up on the site. E.g. I know there's an "Etiquette" page. I search for it. It doesn't show up. Why? It's a category page.
  • The organization of pages under the category pages is just not very useful and is visually ugly. Much better would be a manually generated page (e.g. Tes3Mod:Modding.)
  • The portal idea is too fancy IMO. Again, a simple page like Te3Mod:Modding above would be better.

So, this page is a scratch page where I try to come up with something more like that. I may abandon it in five minutes. We'll see.

Overviews

• About_Modding_Etiquette - Information on what should and should not be done. Really should be expanded quite a bit.
• Oblivion_Mods_FAQ - dev_akm's FAQ. A good broad overview covering a lot of subjects, but also something of an immovable boulder because it's a bylined article and hence cannot be edited like a regular wiki article.
• Modding Terminology - Overview of modding principles and terminology. Proposes a specific terminolgy to clarify use of "object", etc. Main problem with this is that OBSE uses a somewhat different terminology.
