Prison break is doubled up[edit]
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):
| 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. - Harakoni (Wiki Moderator) (talk) 12:06, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
