Forum:Skill books, notes and collectibles

I'd like to get some feedback for a few changes to various overview pages and categories.
 * Books
 * I'd like to rename the book pages (Fallout books etc) to "GAME skill books" to better reflect their content. There is really not much point in listing other books on these pages; they are better off on the misc item/paper note pages in my opinion.


 * Notes
 * I think the distinction between holodisks and paper notes is a bit unnecessary and over the top; I think it'd be better if they were listed on one overview page instead of two. Not sure yet what this page (and the categories) would be called; "notes" seems a bit vague.


 * Collectibles
 * I'd like to have pages listing collectibles by game, replacing pages like Vault Boy bobblehead or Snow globe. This would lead to more consistency across games, and the FNV collectibles page could also include playing cards, for example.

Thoughts? -- Porter21 (talk) 00:15, March 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree on books and notes. As for collectables, I disagree on those for the fact that the average reader comes looking for those certain items and only those. If anything, I think cards should be removed from misc. items and given there own overview page. User avatar tag.gif Avatar talk.png 17:30, March 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I agree with GA on collectibles. Ausir(talk) 01:52, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

Done with the skill books and magazines - I've also split the pages into game-specific ones while I was at it. There's one category left which I'm not sure what to do with: Category:Fallout 3 mentioned-only books - any ideas? Moving the pages to "FO3 mentioned-only items" seems like the most viable solution to me, but I'm open for better solutions.

Regarding holodisks/notes, I'm currently leaning towards calling the merged category simply "Holodisks and notes". Will be a while before I start working on that, so feel free to come up with something better.

Regarding collectibles, maybe merging the overview pages for individual collectibles is a step too far, but I still think a "GAME collectibles" page (then with links to the pages for individual items) would be handy for readers. -- Porter21 (talk) 16:12, March 10, 2011 (UTC)
