	: I think we'll soon want the Main page to be more about linking to other pages than about having all the info on one page, because wikis work best when pages are granular and interconnected. When a section gets too big to manage well on the Main page, give it its own page and put a link to it on Main. Main should soon be mostly a map for how to navigate the site's content. I say when things start to feel too crowded on Main, that's the time to extract content into its own page(s) and tidy up Main. It won't be as hard to organize Main when the pieces are smaller and there's more site-wide organizational structure to rely on. --[[User:Severian\|Severian]] ([[User talk:Severian\|talk]]) 22:17, 24 August 2022 (UTC)		: I think we'll soon want the Main page to be more about linking to other pages than about having all the info on one page, because wikis work best when pages are granular and interconnected.
