__NEWSECTIONLINK__

Welcome to all users! This page is where people can ask StrategyWiki-related questions to the staff and senior community figures, and they will do their best to answer. If you want to raise a topic for discussion (rather than just ask about it), please use community issues instead. New issues are entered here, with the most recent at the bottom of the page. If your question does not pertain to editing StrategyWiki (i.e. asking for hints or game-specific information), please ask on the guide's talk page or on the forums.

Please review the Table of Contents to see if your issue has already been raised; also check the archives (to the right) in case it was discussed some time ago.

To facilitate ease of browsing and replying, please:
 * 1) Place your question at the bottom of the list
 * 2) Title the question (by placing the title between equals signs: ==title==)
 * 3) Sign your name and date (by adding two hyphens and four tildes: --~ )

Subtoc Content Headers
Mock version of my idea in the works on my sandbox.
 * What I would like to do
 * 1) Choose an arbitrary number (i.e. four rows of content) to establish the point at which guide ToC's should require modular summarization (this applies to large guides like MMORPGs).
 * 2) Create a standard set of templates and a usage policy for using and implementing modular, summarized sections of ToCs.
 * 3) Implement this on MapleStory/Table of Contents.


 * A summary of related thoughts
 * 1) Many individual MapleStory pages are exceeding the "warning" limit; in some cases by 3x or more (over 100KB).
 * 2) The MapleStory guide is our primary traffic generator for the website, so it should be used to set the precedent.
 * 3) The MapleStory Table of Contents has the capacity to be expanded more efficiently to better organize topics.
 * 4) Recent edits made by suggest that we should break down certain page headers into more accessible, expanded topics (he focused on Party Quests).
 * 5) I want to use Subtoc-like templates to minimize the default ToC size, and allow us to expand topics without worrying about spacing issues.
 * 6) We have never used Subtoc for a topic (i.e. for a column header); only expansions that act like H1 headers.


 * Why I posted it here
 * 1) Our community meetings are where we get things done, and that is a rare event that I have trouble attending.
 * 2) We used to decide things on the Community Portal talk page, but no longer use that page.
 * 3) Our forums are rarely patrolled or concluded upon because they are separate from the wiki, and I know all of the admins have this on their watch page.
 * 4) We can use this space to better organize our thoughts using templates if need be.
