Talk:All Games

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

I've just done a few bits of reorganization that may seem completely illogical, so I figured I'd explain what my motivations were.

Layout of Page: The order of the boxes does seem a bit haphazard, and probably could do with some more tweaking. My basic thought was to put the most used links near the top of the page. So Oblivion and Morrowind were the logical choices for the top two boxes. I then wanted to put Elder Scrolls Travels under Oblivion, since it includes the other most recently released titles. Admittedly, the pages (other than Shadowkey) contain no info right now, but I think that may just be because nobody knows they even exist. And given the apparent interest in Oblivion for PSP perhaps the Oblivion Mobile section will start to get some attention.

Move to Main Namespace: With the couple links added to the bottom (for Tamriel and General) this page is really an overall site index. So it seems that it belongs near the top of the hierarchy, not buried in the General namespace. I considered whether the name of the page should also be something like "Site Index" or "Directory". But the links to this page are most likely to call it "All Games", since I think that will be the most useful way to describe it to readers.

Moving Mobile Games to Main Namespace: OK, not directly related to this page, other than that the links were changed. But I thought I'd cover that here, too. As Wrye mentioned a few weeks back (as part of the Shadowkey namespace discussion), these pages probably are just stubs until someone gets interested, at which point they'll have their own namespace. Also, when creating General:Main Page I realized that they didn't really fit in there, given that General is a section about non-game info. So I thought I'd try moving them and see what people think.

Release Dates: I would like to see the year each game was released on this page.--216.101.11.66 18:47, 20 September 2007 (EDT)

That information is already documented at other articles that focus more on the history of the Elder Scrolls games, such as General:Bethesda and General:Elder Scrolls. The purpose of this page is primarily to help readers navigate the site, rather than to provide details about the individual games. --Nephele^Talk 21:17, 20 September 2007 (EDT)
