A few thoughts

  • We might consider altering section headings to be informative statements, rather than questions.
  • The article strikes a consistent casual tone and style. While easy to read, this makes certain information hard to convey or follow.
  • Some of the information presented is overly redundant when compared to parent pages or pages dedicated to another PI-related subject.
  • Once we take a brief pass at cleanup, we will be in a better position to make further enhancements to existing content.

Devalt and I had a brief exchange. I wrote that this page is categorized as a guide and must follow the definition outlined by my prepredecessor Djavin UniWiki:Guides. Additionally, the UniWiki:Manual of Style clearly states that "guides, syllabi, and articles describing PvE encounters" have relaxed rules when it comes to tone (just CTRL+F "tone" and you can see the references). Thirdly, redundancy must be set to an absolute minimum to make sure information can be easily kept up to date. I even wrote a Wiki Ideal called "Maintain A Single Source Of Truth" on UniWiki:Welcome. However, guides can be self contained, but they also must be kept up to date by their author/maintainer. If a guide is not kept up to date, it means there is too much redundant information and that the amount of redundant information should be reduced.
All in all I'd love to see you propose a rewrite of the page in a sandbox! Arin Mara (talk) 19:19, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
