Quote section

Post by RayCarrot »

I've been noticing that the quotes in the beginning of many articles take up quite a lot of space, especially in articles like Globox and Rayman. I'm wondering if it might be better having a separate section for these quotes like many other wikis do, so you don't have to scroll down on the page for the actual article.

That's a toughie. Clearly these were intended to be a few short quotes, but at some point it just got out of hand! I don't know if a "quotes" section is the right way to go about it, since they're describing the character rather than spoken by the character. I guess the best thing might be to just move the quotes to the top of the Description section of each article.

Maybe we could try that; I don't think there should be more than one quote at the very top of any article, really.

I took an attempt in moving the quotes about Globox to their respective games, while keeping a more general one at the top of the page. Not so sure how Rayman's own article can be done, because it doesn't have any "video game appearances" in the content.

Well, the Rayman article badly lacks content, so I guess we need to write stuff in there before we can move those quotes.

I've added a bunch new content to the Rayman article now and moved the quotes. There's still some info lacking for several games, but it's more organized now (especially with the pictures).
