User:Memetails/Sandbox/Event Mechanics Intro

Suggestion for template of event maps' "Map Overview" section.
Each mechanic is added/removed as needed.

  • Benefits:
    • Quicker access to relevant mechanic pages for users
    • Quick impression of enemies/map mechanics involved via centralized location
    • Removes the need to link to mechanics later in the page/under specific sections/phases
    • Editing for mechanic information/links is centralized
    • Can easily be shrunk or expanded for more mechanics (i.e. LoS?)
    • Mechanics that are known to be available but unknown where can be marked as such with question marks or some other notation
      • For example, Combined Fleet availability may be known initially but unknown where they can start/go to)
    • ???
  • Drawbacks:
    • May require many revisions as information arrives/changes (i.e. "Friendly Fleets added")
    • May be forgotten and left as original text after being added for the first time to a map
    • Potential for hand-holding with some common mechanics
    • Some mechanics might only pertain to certain phases of a map and cause confusion
    • Easily passed-over/ignored
    • ???
