Board Thread:DC Wiki Discussion/@comment-1738746-20161119101841

With one big project about to finish, I'd like to take the opportunity to start a consensus discussion regarding the next big project- optimizing the Dragon Types page. A lot of users I've spoken to say their computers struggle to load this page, whether it be for editing or even viewing, and some can't load it at all. Speaking to a senior Wikia user, the suggestion was to lessen the load by breaking the page into sub-pages then displaying it all on the main article via template syntaxing. No decision is needed on the community's part for this, and additional suggestions for alleviating load time is of course still welcome.

There are 2 important things that we do need to decide on however. One is whether to keep the current tables or to replace them with one a previous admin was working on before becoming inactive. This new table features the ability to sort certain columns by ascending or descending order. The table is also more neutral coloured, and features borders. I've set up a small comparison here of the new and current tables- please vote on which you would prefer.

The second thing to discuss is the listing of Spriter's Alts on the Dragon Types page. Personally, I feel that considering they aren't alts users can collect, and that they are shown on their own article and that of their corresponding dragon, I don't think it's entirely necessary to list them all on the Dragon Types page- I think a link to the Spriter's Alt page in the Holiday section would suffice. The upside to removing them is alleviating load time, the downside being some of you may feel that the Dragon Types page is not listing all the sprites that can be found on the site. Please also vote on whether you would like the SA section to remain on the Dragon Types page, or be removed.
