Great idea for making {{Bree}} more manageable! :) (Same with the Old Forest navigation box). I wonder if this should be Barrow-downs or split into Northern and Southern... they each have a separate map (like Old Forest and Archet Dale), but then the navigation boxes might be too small to be much help. Hm hm hm. Sethladan 11:27, 8 September 2011 (EDT)
- I agree, to sparse information ain't good either. Perhaps it is better split when there is a real need, and then not too small. Of course one can display both boxes, but...eeh...why split them then? --Zimoon (talk) 19:24, 8 September 2011 (EDT)
- The problem is, like you said on Talk:Barrow-downs, the Barrow-downs aren't actually an in-game area, just interesting in terms of lore. Things are going to get really messy if we start gathering or separating areas based on what's convenient for us instead of what's in the game. :-P
Regarding the boxes being "too small," I've been trying to think of a way to enclose these smaller boxes into the larger boxes, so that, for example, if you put this box on a page, it would show that this is an area inside the Bree-land box, and maybe even that Bree-land is a region in Eriador, etc. Would be a lot of work to get right, but it could look very cool - have seen them work that way on Wikipedia sometimes.

- I agree, but sometimes it is hard to tell whether implementation (in-game or whatever) is better than what is perceived. After all, the plain user go where he expects things to be, not where an engineer put them ;)
- Also, if those boxes could be automagic and gather from certain categories it would be awesome. --Zimoon (talk) 02:06, 9 September 2011 (EDT)
- And the plain user, who is coming here from the game, most likely, will expect things to be in the same place here that they are in the game. ;) (My prediction, at least. I'm only one person, though!)
I love when you say "automagic." :D Sethladan 11:41, 9 September 2011 (EDT)
