Talk:Rules

I'll put my rationale here, since I like this one. If you look at any wikipedia page, you'll notice that the "about" or "introduction" section goes after the initial heading (which is autogenerated based on the page title), and not in its own little section. This serves several purposes:

• Introduction comes before Table of Contents
• No extra sections = shorter TOC, shorter overall page
• no duplicated headings (we had several things where it was the overall page header, then the same title again right after)

That's my rationale. I would have discussed it with you, but you weren't around. So stop reverting until we get somebody else around here. --Roguelazer

PS: I forgot to chastise you for reverting edits that actually had substance (this one) along with your rolling back of my "appearance" edits. --Roguelazer 20:32, 26 Jun 2005 (CST)

Sorry if I stepped on your toes, but on most of them, not all, you were seriously messing up the look of the page, the TOC's were falling under the text, and did not look right. In a book the intro may look better before the TOC but not on these wiki pages. If I accidently removed some spelling or other estetic changes sorry, perhaps you can copy them back in.--Mark McDoogle 20:36, 26 Jun 2005 (CST)

TOC's are supposed to go under the introductory text. Look at any wikipedia page that has a TOC. Examples:

• wikipedia:Mac OS
• wikipedia:Linux
• wikipedia:Microsoft Windows

The idea is that you can read what the page is about quickly and easily without having to scroll through a (potentially long) table of contents, or click a hide button. --Roguelazer 20:47, 26 Jun 2005 (CST)
