Talk:Suggestion/@comment-25490263-20150216091405/@comment-25490263-20150306165150

The suggestion was reposted & on the first page. If a suggestion tracker was implemented, it would indeed be less of an issue.

Regardless, this has been in progress for over 26 days & in the sandbox for over a week at the now deleted Sandbox/Template:Shiplist.

No one has posted objections to this aspect for the duration. While people suddenly objecting after repeated mentions is understandable due to lack of site-wide notification, it went through a process on this page & no negative consensus emerged.

Obviously, now that it's occurred, there will be feedback, & with Suggestion, it can be discussed. One week of the new format won't ruin the website & now people have an incentive to comment.

As for the issues raised, first is Mathiaszealot's comment regarding it.

The duplicates are due to the class changes. That leads into the expedition & branching changes. If players can't handle those, they're going to be confused with those particular kanmusu & need to spend time learning. This wiki is as good of a place as any.

Easier to find is relative with 151 kanmusu & will not improve unless the kanmusu are not put in Template:Shiplist at all. If it does confuse people, there will soon be feedback.

The Mogami-class is within Heavy Cruiser & Aviation Cruiser.

The max stat pages are primarily for people who want to look at the max stats. It does not cover all use cases. The extra categories do two things: ease reaching those max stats & making it clear who's apart of it. Merging them, as in the reverted edit, implies that all in the category are both or that they are effectively the same, of which neither are the case. Having to read through a page to figure that out is not easier for navigation.

The implementation is for thoroughness, in kanmusu & in classes. Just as the max stats pages exist, as the class list, card number list, start stats list, & drop list all exist.

Navigational & aesthetic purposes are are debatably minor given the amount of classes & amount of kanmusu. It's only going to get worse, & depending on the longevity & determination of the developers, much much worse. Who knows, perhaps it'll require denser categorization as on Pokémon.

Erring on the side of caution is, to me, better than condensing everything & requiring visitors to either already know the kanmusu or read additional pages to learn the nuances.

In the end, my preference is to be completely thorough or simplified:

Thorough: as it is now

Simplified: The old version with the rest of the duplicates removed & more pages to ensure the reclassifications are clear. Perhaps with kanmusu condensed into classes rather than delineated.
