Rewrite?

I'd like to revamp this page so that it has a simple, clean list of links to each of the game mechanics, rather than the current simple structure which imports the entirety of each mechanic's page. As the various mechanic pages have grown, this page has become bloated. Rationale:

  • The new structure would make it consistent with the Items, Enemies, Environments, and NPCs pages.
  • The current import structure is resulting in a very long page, which no one would ever read from beginning to end.
  • The current import structure prevents the use of first and second tier headings in each of the mechanics pages, because use of those headings breaks this page's category tree structure. This is already happening in the case of fall damage.
  • The new structure would allow the addition of Buffs, Debuffs, and Player stats to its content, which are linked from the Main Page but missing here. They all contain second tier headings. They would make this page longer still.

I agree. A list of links would be definitely easier to navigate and maintain. - 01:21, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
also agree, also needs a general cleanup ontop of that. for example the jump (werewolf) and movement(new armors and werewolf) pages don't include the new item's buffs. same for the attack speed however that one in itself is moderately done due to how it explains. 96.15.250.45 03:53, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
