Splitting Abyssea Article

Clearly this article is massive; it practically covers all of three mini-expansions in a single page. There should be a logical way to break this down into several, clearer, easier-to-maintain articles.

Any suggestions on how to break it up? --Andurus 22:46, January 14, 2011 (UTC)

  • I'm quite happy with it as is. Sure it's large, but when someone new to abyssea in my shell wants to know about it, I just send them here. ~ Esdain of Kujata/Valefor
  • Ya I don't see any reason to split it up all the info on this page is generic for the most part. The only thing that is redundant is the NM tables. Maybe just get rid off or move all non-generic info to the correct pages and leave every else. - Simplemalk
  • I agree with Andurus that this article is far too large. The quality and utility of the content is not in question; it's excellent information. However, it makes plenty of sense to break this article down into a few logical, smaller articles. Elanabelle.Bismarck 05:45, January 15, 2011 (UTC)
  • I like the banners with the links to the separate zones at the top, but other than that it needs a reshuffle. The information is all valid, but there is just too much to take in.--Branwenbahamut 12:32, January 15, 2011 (UTC)
  • Agreed. It should be split up, mostly into its primary section headings. --SimuAndy 15:31, January 15, 2011 (UTC)
  • Disagree. One stop shopping for any and all things. Make sub pages for the sections with more extensive information but keep this as the quick reference area. I use it extensively myself and it is far easier than hunting from page to page. Old Sarge 19:48, January 15, 2011 (UTC)
  • Disagree. I agree with Esdain, Simplemalk, Sarge - keep it all on one page. The only reason it looks so horribad now is because the wiki decided to cut the size of the information page down to be significantly smaller horizontally. If they expanded the page again - many of these things would not look so massive. When you go to Abyssea - you want to read ALL the abyssea info in one place - NOT have to figure out where the heck to go. So keep all on this page please or you are just making it more and more difficult to use the Wiki and we might as well start going somewhere else for information which is what you seemingly want us to do for a while now with your changes. --Birgitte t/ c 23:48, January 15, 2011 (UTC)
