ALL POSTSThe future of Champion Strategy pages
<p>tl;dr: Strategy pages, should we keep them as is, should we try to salvage them as a concept, or should we just get rid of them completely. Reply below with your opinions.
</p><p>Strategy pages have been a contentious subject for many a wiki user over the past couple years, they're one of the few places on the wiki where we host subjective information and opinions rather than just hard, fact based data and to some that isn't the goal of a wiki and as a result those users feel strategy pages should be removed. We've had this discussion before but never really got anything out of it but we're here today to try and settle this years long debate.
</p><p>I'm personally of the opinion they should be removed and that a wiki is not the place for things like build/gameplay suggestions, there are plenty of other sites out there if a user wants that kind of information. I suggest moving the official riot information like recommended items to a different tab and just either archiving the strategy pages or deleting them all.

<p>I vote for including "tips and tricks" in the ability details, or creating a separate tab on the ability details for tips and tricks (like the Warframe wiki has). This section would be for advice/usage information, similar to how we provide on Runes and Items, and would not be intended as a guide. Some things we already list as "ability details" could be expanded upon/given more information - such as Fiddlesticks' Drain persisting through untargetability.

<p>If they are to be kept, they should only contain unbiased information that everyone could easily check for themselves. E.g. "Ryze's highest damage combo is QEQWQ". Or "Pyke shouldn't build Warmog because he will never have enough hp to benefit from its passive".

<p>The only unbias information is official riot reveal strategy info, spotlights, and recommended items. Anything else is fan bias even if its a logical tip deduced by a fan. Seems like most of that info can just be placed in ether ability and development pages. </p>

<p>The information about Warmog's on Pyke is the kind of thing I would still in the usage-information on his innate.

<p>can the autoplay ""champion spotlight" from every champion page be disabled already? its so annoying, its 2019 it should be clear by now nobody wants an autoplay video when theyre checking a page

<p>It'd be nice werwar but there's not much that can be done about it, they were put there by Wikia staff and for some reason they won't allow for them to be removed, and it's annoying because other than that and the terrible Wikia mobile site which is again out of our control this is a great wiki
But this isn't really related to Champion Strategy pages. Perhaps create a new thread if you wish to discuss it further.

<p>do you know anyone who could tell the wikia staff themselves to end it? why do they have ultimate control over it anyway? its doesnt make any sense, sorry to derail but the discussion seems pretty much over anyway
</p><p>Nobody wants it there, its actively annoying a bunch of people and nobody seems to bother to remove it, I get that its difficult, but then we need to know who exactly is responsible for preventing this
</p>

<p>"why do they have ultimate control over it anyway?"
</p><p>well idk, maybe because fandom is their platform? People complained about the video that shows at the top of the champion pages, and fandom finally removed it about a month ago.
</p><p>anyway, yea, let's not continue this discussion over here
