::I for one really dislike having descriptors next to ToC links; its messy, unnecessary unless you're brand new to the site and don't understand what "introduction" or "getting started" or "controls" or "characters" means. When someone goes to a page, the top should have a small note in italics if there is any confusion about another page that contains related but separate information; i.e. character bios versus move lists. Luckily we often make the information duplicated so that both pages contain the same thing. Reiteration is quite powerful, but unnecessary if excessive. --[[User:Notmyhandle|Notmyhandle]] ([[User talk:Notmyhandle|talk]] <small>•</small> [[Special:Contributions/Notmyhandle|contribs]]) 22:11, 30 April 2007 (CDT) | ::I for one really dislike having descriptors next to ToC links; its messy, unnecessary unless you're brand new to the site and don't understand what "introduction" or "getting started" or "controls" or "characters" means.

:Dan, I completely agree with you about LOZ:OOT (although I personally hate how much white space exists between the intro and the TOC. We should get at least one image in there to fill the space.) But that format only works well for guides that require such a large TOC, like OOT, or Pokemon, etc. It's much more difficult to generate that many pages for older games, and at the same time, we want to avoid throwing all of the content on one page. The result is the 4~6 or so page template that I've been following. I'm just not certain how to highlight the TOC more than it is (in both navs and in the center of the page.) Maybe it really is just a matter of experience. Maybe there is a "learning curve" to using StrategyWiki, and some casual users may not catch on unless they visit frequently enough. I don't think that's an adequate conclusion to the matter, but I don't have any other ideas.
