Comixpedia.org Articles Should Not Be Too Disaggregated

xerexes's picture

Last year, we had a few folks put in articles for their comics, then articles for each character, articles for each individual chapter, and even articles for what occurred each month of the webcomic.

By almost unanimous consensus we decided this is totally unnecessary, and defeats the purpose of this site. It makes sense for some articles to be broken down into a few sub-pages, but a page per character/chapter is ridiculous overkill.

So in general, each webcomic or creator entry should fit in one page the majority of the time.

This comment also seemed like a good guideline:

How about this: sub-articles may not be created as stubs (more generally, additional pages on a single webcomic must contain a sufficient amount of information upon or very near creation)? Nifboy 18:55, 6 Oct 2005 (EDT)

I remember when deleting them become one of the most annoying activity at that time. I sure did delete a lot of them though.

But they don't count toward my contributions history :(

Article should only be created when they can be expanded to a decent article size is my rule.

I agree

Really if the entry is going beyond a page, maybe it's time for the creator to start their own wiki and then they can link the Comixpedia.org entry to that wiki.
