Trail and table

Sorry for deleting them, but why are they needed? Phoenix Neko 10:01, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

The trail is policy. I assume the table is about style points. Minor Edits^{Threats•Evidence} 10:04, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for answer, but I need more information, please. What policy? Where can I see it? ...And points were the same, I think. Phoenix Neko 14:36, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

The bread crumb trail policy can be found here. As far as the table business, my guess would be that it helps make sure the information still looks right when it's transcluded in another article. –Eshe^talk 14:50, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

What Eshe said. Have a look at a page that this one is transcluded on, such as Lore:Septim Dynasty. The grey box headed 'Appendices' is the table from this page, which doesn't actually appear on this page because of the judicious use of <includeonly> and <noinclude> tags. --Gaebrial 15:03, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, guys. I understand a bit more now thanks to you. How do you think, maybe this gray box with 'Appendices' should be re-formatted using new structure of Appendices page? Phoenix Neko 19:21, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Building new Appendix

A few months ago, I suggested we try to build an appendix for all the courtly roles in the games. Here is my first swing at creating a framework. I would appreciate any feedback on it, including whether I should just give up right now. And I was also wondering whether it would be best to keep the positions generic (King, Jarl, Count, etc.), or if I should make an entry for each specific office ("Jarl of Riften", "King of Daggerfall", etc.). The latter would make it much easier to differentiate the offices, but it would also make the page much longer. Anyways, any input is appreciated.

You'll have a tough time if you decide to have an entry for each specific office. Daggerfall has hundreds, and I'm sure Arena's are randomised. —Legoless 23:25, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

Indeed. And there are many positions that are only mentioned once or twice in passing. I'm putting a disclaimer at the top that some positions are omitted for lack of information. That way I can distinguish all the big players without listing every little king or queen who has cropped up in Tamrielic history. Minor Edits^{Threats•Evidence} 23:38, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
