Forum:Lists proposal

A lot of the newly released games seem to have templates where the links redirect to a list page, forcing users who want to help the Wiki create sections for all components of that list rather than just creating a page for the one item the link says they were to create. My proposal is simply to create red links for each individual link rather than starting off with the list, then merging the pages together if, given fourteen days after that game's release, all pages are still short. (By "short", a definition can be worked out.)

Of course, this might come as confusing, so let me provide an example. Template:Rainbogeddon with each link for a power up leading to Power Ups (Rainbogeddon). Instead of linking, let's say, Tail, to a Power Ups page, why not just link to a page called Tail and see if it can suffice as a full enough article?

Why I ask this? A compromise, perhaps. Seems like a lot of users aren't happy with "every single page becoming a list" and I think we need to give individual items a chance to be their own article before deciding whether to list or not. I hope you will think the same. 05:10, February 8, 2012 (UTC)
