Basically 3 things I/we need to resolve.

1: What to do between these two pages:
http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Bonus
http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Unique_variant
They refer to the same but have different info. Should we merge them at the UV one and leave bonus with a redirect?

2: I was working on this page and had 2 issues:
http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Artifact
1 - I generalize the recon_module_jelly_palace.png into just recon_module since all 3 use the same image. This left a duplicate for someone to take care of.
2 - The descriptions can be considered spoilers, so I didn't copy them yet. Is there some kind of spoiler tag we can add to them?

3: I was thinking of making a "possible levels by stratum" page, but don't know exactly where to put it or what template to use.
It will probably be something like a list that says:
Shock or whatever:
- level name: level type
- level name: level type
- etc
Would be nice if the level names were also links (do we have a convention for the name of those pages already?) and the tiny type icons which can be seen in the forestorm citadel page.

4: Do we have a page with who the developers are? Searched for devs/developers and got nothing.

(1)
I think that the leftover content on the Bonus page should be moved into the Unique Variant page. The UV page is more complete and generates a lot more traffic. Just redirect Bonus to Unique Variant.

(2)
1 - The page in general needs to be more refined. I think, from the current game, that if the recon modules continue to be the same color then just a generic file like you've already done will suffice.
2 - That's what I initially though too. You can see my note in the talk page.

1. I'm not a gas station

1. I'm not a gas station attendant, it would probably annoy me less to not have subject lines like that.

2. For the UV/bonus issue, whatever the wiki editing community thinks is fine with me. To add my opinion toward a group consensus, I agree with merging bonus into UV and leaving a redirect.

3. For the artifact page stuff: If you need an image deleted due to it not being needed/having the wrong name, you can just edit the image page and pop a {{delete}} in there to tag it for deletion and I'll take care of it when I go through to do that stuff every now & then. You could probably do something to take care of the spoilers thing with using this template: http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Template:Showhide

4. You could go with calling the page "list of possible levels" and do the headers by stratum or whatnot. Sounds like a fine idea to me.

5. No, there isn't a page with the devs listed. I'll talk to Eurydice to see about this.

6. Thanks for your work on the various nitty gritty number stats projects going on for the wiki.

Haha, sorry about the title, it's just that you're about the only person who could provide me with good answers to some of these issues.
I'll start making these changes then.

Link to category pages?

On relation to the strata - maybe we could create category pages for the stratum themes. I'm not sure what OOO's stance on linking directly to category pages are, but linking to a category page would cut down on a lot of text and could also link back to the level pages too. The page isn't a bad start (has lots of useful info that I'll need to refer back to), but the list makes me cringe a bit :)

It's just... the list is only long because some levels are repeated, especially with duo-themed levels (ex. Devilish Drudgery: Everybody's fired).

You can have however long of

You can have however long of a text list if that's how people would prefer to have the lists. So it is all a matter of how usable people would find a category vs a big list. Linking to category pages is fine whenever appropriate, but there should be some sort of page about the general topic in the main namespace for the sake of searching because the default search does not include categories.

These are the three things that I generally like to keep in mind when thinking about stuff like this:

- Usability (this includes organization, concise writing, appropriate illustration, findability, etc.)
- Consistency (both of information & of similar outlines for similar page types)
- Efficiency/ease of updating/editing

Of course there are other factors as well, but those are the biggies.

Well I would really like it if the wiki had more connections, so it seems like a good idea Saph.

However, I really want a list where I can simply search by level or stratum, and find the stratums or levels respectively.

If you can think of anything to make the lists more pleasant, go ahead.

Btw, what was the way to link into a subsection of an article?
Also, I would keep for example: Jade Tangle 2 separated from Jade Tangle 1 in the Jigsaw Valley, in case we ever do maps for all premade levels.

Type [[Jigsaw_Valley#Jade_Tangle_II|Jade Tangle II]] to link to subsections :3

I'll get to work on the list!
