:I do really like the page as it currently is, but I get what you mean about whether it's the most useful format for the default page. Personally I like the idea of the simple alphabetical list as the default page, with links to a List of Divines by season page (that this one would presumably be moved to) and/or a List of Divines by affiliation page. But none of my feelings about that are particularly strong; I'd also be fine with this remaining the default page. (Sorry if this is all unhelpful of me!) For what it's worth I think it would be really handy either way to have multiple different lists that organize things differently, because there are SO many Divines that this by-season list and the by-affiliation list you drafted can be really helpful in a way that a purely alphabetical page isn't.

How to best format this page
I've been wondering if the current formatting is the most useful. The pros I see as-is are that less-important Divines can have short descriptions without requiring a page for each one, that it's easy to find the most important Divines from each season, and that spoilers are avoided. The cons are that there are repeated entries and the page takes more work to maintain / might be more confusing to navigate than a plain list. I created a simple alphabetical list which does contain some implicit spoilers (i.e. the reveal from the C/W prequel) and leaves out Divines whose canonicity is unclear (to me). (Also a list by affiliation.) Would a simple alphabetical list be better for the default page, or is it better as-is? Would it be useful to have a second page "List of Divines, alphabetical" and/or a "List of Divines by affiliation"? Does any of this even matter at all. 1smalldragon (talk) 01:22, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- I do really like the page as it currently is, but I get what you mean about whether it's the most useful format for the default page. Personally I like the idea of the simple alphabetical list as the default page, with links to a List of Divines by season page (that this one would presumably be moved to) and/or a List of Divines by affiliation page. But none of my feelings about that are particularly strong; I'd also be fine with this remaining the default page. (Sorry if this is all unhelpful of me!) For what it's worth I think it would be really handy either way to have multiple different lists that organize things differently, because there are SO many Divines that this by-season list and the by-affiliation list you drafted can be really helpful in a way that a purely alphabetical page isn't.
