Legacy content

Old-gen console version Old-gen console and 3DSNintendo 3DS version content should be better separated from modern content to reduce confusion for readers. Per the Community noticeboard discussion, it should be moved to its own custom namespace, called Legacy: (namespace ID 11000).

Before we tackle migrating all the content, we ought to lay out some guidelines for what the legacy pages should look like and how they should be formatted, and collect them here.

Some first testing pages are:

Recipes

All recipes that are exclusive to legacy platforms are no longer registered on the main pages (Recipes/Altar/register, Recipes/Ancient Manipulator/register, etc.) but instead on their counterparts in the Legacy: namespace (Legacy:Recipes/Altar/register, Legacy:Recipes/Bookcase/register, etc.). These recipes are the only ones that will show up via {{recipes}} on articles in the Legacy: namespace. These legacy recipes will for now still show up by default on articles in mainspace, but they can be suppressed there with the parameter |legacy=no. Only use this parameter if a corresponding legacy article with the suppressed legacy recipes exists – otherwise readers cannot find the legacy recipes.

For an example, compare True Excalibur#Recipes and Legacy:True Excalibur#Recipes. The mainspace article has |legacy=no which hides the legacy recipe there. The legacy article only shows this legacy recipe by default.
