Board Thread:Wiki discussions and announcements/@comment-3308937-20140828121932

As some of you may have noticed we (mostly Empty) are testing a new champion page design/format on the Azir page. I have made a comment in the comment section of the page explaining my thoughts on the changes and providing the reasoning I gave in regards to the concepts we're building off of. The meat of my comment:

"There's been 3 big, major changes:

First: the removal of the strategy page. The strategy page has been a huge topic of discussion over the years between the more active editors of the wiki as something that we shouldn't be endorsing. It's a page full of subjective information, it has information that cannot be factually proven right and often times has information or advice that is pretty bad or just wrong. Keep in mind comments aren't going anywhere and is the place that this information should reside.

Secondly: The removal of the skins & trivia page. It hasn't really been removed, just the information in it has been moved around to become better classified and as to not basically waste an entire page on 2-3 sections. This includes the "relations" section being moved to Background as it is a lore-oriented section, the skins have been moved to the main champion page and the trivia has been moved to the new development page.

Third: Reclassification of the Background page and addition of Development page. Currently the Background page hosts a lot of content that altogether isn't really related, it's basically the dumping ground of information that doesn't belong on the other pages. Background started out as a lore based page and that's what we're going back to, this leaves us with a bunch of things like champion sneak peeks, rework Q&A's, developmental images, past abilities, patch histories and more which are all interesting information but honestly have nothing to do with current information and there's where the new Development page comes in."

As comment sections aren't always the best place for discussions (and an image of spools of thread that seems to be following me around) I've made this thread for, well, being a place to have a more "refined" discussion on these changes.
