Talk:Noble houses of Cheliax

Necessary?

Even though I just created this page, I'm not completely convinced that it is really necessary. I at first just wanted to get rid of the long list on the main Cheliax page, but since we already have the Noble Houses of Cheliax template, I wonder if it's a bit redundant. What this page would ideally be suited for would be giving readers a quick introduction to the houses, with one or two sentences about each of them tops. What do others think? --Brandingopportunity (talk) 15:59, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

Good point Brandingopportunity. Well you all know my opinion that if we have material in 2 places we'll never keep them both up to date. I think this was further proof looking at the additions to the template this afternoon? I think a page, per se, about the Noble Houses of Cheliax is valid, but we don't need these long lists on pages when we are now used to templates taking that data. Having said that, the templates can't take the 'one or two sentences about each of them' you mention (hmm, or is that true?!). However, looking at the page, many are red links, let alone one or two sentences. Maybe a compromise is a '...and here is a discussion of some of the more important and interesting houses...' section. That is, the section never claims to be comprehensive (that's the template's job) but does have pen portraits to illustrate the subject but redirecting to the House's page for more info?? Practically, that means deleting all the empty slots in the list and adding a comment about the section being just a few examples. What do others think? --Fleanetha (talk) 17:51, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
