[QUOTE="weldon, post: 5175548, member: 18817"] There is little difference to the casual user. The page titles actually look the same. There is a big difference when trying to do something programmatic with the wiki. The character table page is a great potential replacement to the character status page because it is driven by the character sheets themselves, you don't have to go to two places to make an update. As an example, I could make an "adventure table" page that would list all the current adventures as long as DM's updated their own adventure page. They wouldn't have to go in and edit a shared page with the info on their adventure(s). It requires a different way of doing things and creates some work up front, but in the long run I think it makes a more reliable system. I'm trying to be cautious about recommending huge changes that would require tons of work. I think the pc, adventure, and setting namespaces would be just enough light structure to do some really useful things without becoming burdensome. For other reasons, the L4W would not be used for a while. I will have to remove "L4W:" from every page title before I could create the namespace anyways. This will be something that I will bring up again later. I'm ready to move ahead with "PC:", "ADV:", and "SET:" though. [/QUOTE]
