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)

and theirs looks as ugly as your making VO's wiki look. Not every one of the ones you changed was actually introductory text. If you would like to MAKE some introductory text that would be great. But lets make this look good not ugly simply because others choose to have ugly pages. --Mark McDoogle 20:48, 26 Jun 2005 (CST)

Examples of pages that I changed that were introductory text:

• CtC - also, duplicated header
• Guilds - where it was, the text had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with its headline. It works better as introductory text
• All of the bots pages
• Rules
• Factions (not even you can dispute this one)

I'll give you that Roleplaying and Dueling might be okay as-is. Might be.--Roguelazer 20:52, 26 Jun 2005 (CST)

Now I have to go to school tomorrow, so good night. Don't do anything rude whilst I sleep. --Roguelazer 20:53, 26 Jun 2005 (CST)

Act civil and argue politely. Continue to be rude and you will be banned. --Lemming 21:42, 26 Jun 2005 (CST)
