Please take some time to look around the site and learn how we set guides up. You essentially recreated existing work that was already on the site in a better format, and you put it all in the wrong place. I was forced to delete the pages you created. Always investigate to see what material exists on the site before importing information. Procyon (Talk) 04:48, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm confused because the main tony hawk page had a red link on Walkthrough and I clicked that to start. The organization structure should be better summarized and explained on the main page tony hawk page - like a toc would be nice. Thanks for fixing it up though. Trödel 14:30, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

There are two ways to get to the ToC: Press the [show] button at the top right of the Header Nav bar; Scroll down to the bottom of the main page. I had transwikied it over from wikibooks a while back. Let me know if I missed anything :). -- Prod (Talk) 18:13, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

I see it now - scrolling through empty space is one of those things that I think is poor design - not because I have any feelings for it one way or the other per se, but because of times like this - the screen has basic columns, left nav, content, infobox, advertising - I focus on the content which shows a couple links and then alot of whitespace, I glance at the infobox - std stuff - I don't even think to scroll down the page to see if there is more content after a big gap.

Anyway - If you want my 2 cents I'd say get rid of the jump to Table of Contents, and pull the table of contents to be immediately beneath the intro paragraph and then you won't really even need the continue to box kluge, just plan the columns in the toc for the basic screenspace used for the content.

The ToC looks really bad when put right next to the infobox, it throws off the floating columns. This is why we need a complete clear before it. Also, ideally there won't be very much whitespace that you need to scroll down through and the game has enough background information, etc. to fill up the majority of that whitespace. --Skizzerz 15:55, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
