Forum:Removing appearance section or modifying rules

The appearance section is a section found on articles of game components. This section describes how the subject appears, however, I believe we should either remove or modify the rules for the section.

The reason I want to remove it is for these reasons: For these reasons, I think we should remove the appearance section from all articles. We can still leave sections that describe how something looks like on Nitrome.com website articles, or articles related to this (as these tend to be complete, not very long, and are not always required).
 * 1) - It was never really a true section: Okay, bad title for this point. What I would like to point out that, although I was the one who introduced the appearance section to the Nitrome Wiki, it was only there to increase the size of pages, in terms of bytes. That's all. I added it after this incident, in order to make pages big enough to not be merged into lists.
 * 2) - No use: Appearance sections are completely useless. They describe how the subject looks. This is only helpful if the article lacks an image, however, there is is a very small amount of pages that have a written appearance section and no image. Furthermore, most articles have an image, so this makes the appearance section useless.
 * 3) - Few are completed: It is quite likely that 90% of all appearance sections are tagged with Template:Incomplete. Now, I know you can't remove a section from the wiki on the grounds it is rarely completed, but appearance sections often are tagged with Template:Incomplete.
 * 4) - Too big (sometimes): Appearance sections can sometimes be too big. There are a few articles that have an appearance section that is bigger than the game information section. This is rather bad, as people come to an article for information on its game information, and not its appearance.
 * 5) - Not what people are interested in: People are likely not interested in what something looks like anyway. People come to an article seeking information about the subject, and likely not what it looks like.
 * 6) - Clogs up page: Now, I know I'm likely getting a bit ridiculous here, but appearance sections, if people don't want to read it, then it just serves as wasted space which people skip anyway. It causes them to constantly scroll down a lot whenever they come to a new page, which could annoy some.

However, if people want to keep the appearance section, then we should make some changes. Currently, appearance sections require than you describe everything. If we were to change this, I would like to change it that you can use other words to describe content, such as "boots" to describe boots, and not have to say "boots" and describe everything on the boot.

These are just my suggestions. Discuss. -- 02:05, January 13, 2014 (UTC)
