Wiki Navigation / Table of Contents

Mustrum_Ridcully · 15th September 2009, 11:24 AM

I am not sure where to put this and expose it more.

I seem to remember the old Wiki having some kind of table of contents page, but there seems to be no equivalent in the new one. Of course, there is no guarantees for the ToC to be filled with useful links, but I think it would still be nice to have something like that.

So I set up this page: Table Of Contents - EN World D&D / RPG News

Of course, with just me, it won't do much good. So, how do other people feel about it? Is this a good idea?
If you think so - don't just answer here, add your new articles to that table of contents and related pages!
Or is it such a great idea it has already been implemented but I have missed it?

There is more to it then just that page. I propose having table of contents for the individual topics, because otherwise the ToC becomes a little unwieldy. I think the current depth of the "navigation tree" is deep enough, and additional pages need to be set up for the details. (I did this for the Classes example, since I actually had some material there which I wanted to reference in the Wiki...)

The issue is that until Morrus on the Mods/Admins unlock the old content, its read-only and thus not very usable as a wiki; only newer content will be editable.

I'll be happy to link Living Eberron/Living ENWorld 4E stuff when its functional.

Well, as long as you can't edit stuff, you could already add the links to imported stuff. The table of contents page and related pages I created should be editable just fine.

But adding links to something you can't edit is a bit silly. A wiki's supposed to editable, not read-only.

That being said, we are making progress on the read-only part. Still doesn't work, but its progress.

Well, a Wiki is not just there to be written to, but also be read, right?
