Forum:Granularity policy?

Hi all,

On the wiki I used to edit, we had a policy called "Granularity". It's here wikia:runescape:RuneScape:Granularity if you'd like to read it. The policy basically says that anything notable deserves its own article (items, NPCs, et cetera) (with some minor exceptions, of course), and it worked out pretty well over there.

I was thinking this might be a good policy for the Vault to adopt, because I've seen a lot of articles, especially related to Fallout 3, that cram a bunch of items onto a single page. Examples: Wasteland Outfit, Kid's Outfit, Pre-War Businesswear. There are more but that's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Thoughts? Opinions? Good or bad idea? ~ Sheriff of the Wasteland 06:15, June 1, 2010 (UTC)

Edit: Oh yeah, exceptions would include articles about generic NPCs like Scavenger.
 * They've already been merged for clarity before. There's no reason to have separate articles for items existing inside one game that differ only in external appearance. It's not easy to use and not clear. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/0/08/Personal_Sig_Image.gif Tagaziel (call!) 06:35, June 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Like Grizzly said, the examples you mentioned used to have separate articles but were merged, for the simple reason that the items usually only differ in appearance. The layout for these merged pages could certainly use some improvement though, I'll agree with that. On a sidenote, the policy you're suggesting is partially covered by VA:MAS. -- Porter21 (talk) 09:06, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
