New expansion format

Hi guys, I've been working on an overhaul for the expansion pages. You can find an example here: User:Ravanel/Sandbox8 (will remove the link once live). This example is for Riders of Rohan; the idea is to follow the same format for the other expansion articles. If you find anything missing or you have other feedback, please let me know. :)

Thoughts behind the new format:
I've noticed the individual expansion pages are a bit of a mess. Many contain various advertisement texts that seem copied straight from LOTRO.com without any context. I think it would be better if the pages instead would read like actual articles, providing info about both the content of the expansion and the historic context in which they were released. Many of the advertisement texts are no longer online on LOTRO.com. We could place these on separate paces and link to them from the expansion pages, if we want to archive them for prosperity. --Ravanel (talk) 17:06, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

Following up on positive feedback on Discord, the Riders of Rohan test page is now live on The Lord of the Rings Online: Riders of Rohan. In time, I hope to update the other expansion pages following the same format. Thanks, guys! --Ravanel (talk) 00:58, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
