== ToC is too long to be usable ==

"A localized, intense lightning storm in one area of the map. Causes big fires. Clicking the envelope icon offers the option to jump to the location where the strikes will be. It also has the side effect of disabling rain."
  
Title. The page is in need of some TLC anyway but its unlikely to reduce the page length.
+
In this paragraph, the pronoun 'it' has unclear antecedent. Does clicking the envelope icon disable the rain, or does the storm, or the event itself? I'm guessing it's the event, in which case "This event also has the side effect of disabling rain" would work better.
Some other solution is needed for the table of contents but nothing comes to mind. Thoughts? [[User:Harakoni|Harakoni]] ([[User talk:Harakoni|talk]]) 05:00, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
 
 
 
:Late, but my idea would be to split this page into [[Events]] (Anything that is randomly generated by the storyteller, minus [[Quest]]s) and [[Letters]] (Everything else). There is a clear difference between a Raid and Roof Collapse; the former can happen at (almost) any time, while the latter only happens when something in the map destroys a roof.

:: Care will have to be taken to go through [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Events|all the links to Events]] and make sure they're directing to the right place, but I'm happy with that solution personally.

== Prison break is doubled up ==
 
[[Prisoner#Prison break]] and [[Events#Prison break]] both exist, cover largely the same content, and don't interlink with each other. Both have a good claim to hosting the information (feel free to add your own):
 
{| class="wikitable"
 
|-
 
! Prisoner Pros !! Events Pros
 
|-
 
| Shorter, more manageable page || Already collates all other events, if exceptions allowed, undermines point and utility of the page
 
|-
 
| Likely first port of call for new searcher || Experienced wiki users will check collated events
 
|}
 
There are 3 readily apparent potential solutions:
 
# Cull entry on Prisoner, and leave a heading, summary, and link to Events
 
# Cull entry on Events, and leave a heading, summary, and link to Prisoner
 
# Templatize - have both pages with the same content via a template to ensure both pages always have the same content and don't miss updates.  More convoluted and foreign to inexperienced editors, but also allows the content to exist on both pages.
 
 
 
Opinions, additions to options and pros list, etc all welcome. - [[User:Harakoni|Harakoni (Wiki Moderator)]] ([[User talk:Harakoni|talk]]) 12:06, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
