Subheadings

[edit]

Some of the sections have a lot of headings. I am not sure what is the best format. I started formating a list of headings and stopped half way though pending more ideas. Snowman (talk) 21:55, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, but to start with I went for an easily read format. I originally considered just writing everything into the text, but then thought that may make it hard-going to read, and more difficult to pick out specific information. I'll give it some more thought also. --Red Sunset 22:09, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think that it could be harder to read in prose format too. For the section on "properties" the wiki has a photo for nearly every property, so a table would could include key information, key dates, and an image. There might be one or two properties without its own a page, but stubs would be easy to make to complete the set. Alternatively, each property could have its on third level heading and details expanded, but keeping the separate articles for each house. Snowman (talk) 23:37, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's a tricky one to get the balance right – I consciously held back on some of the details of each property since most of them already have their own pages, (and as you say, the others can be stubbed) and much of the information would be repeated. Otherwise, I like the idea of third level expansions and would prefer to go that way for the comprehensiveness of the article. A consise table format might work – maybe a little experimenting in a sandbox is in order to see what it looks like in context. On the other hand; the article is about the Trust itself, not its properties, so too much detail ought to be avoided. I can see 'for' and 'against' arguments for both and am completely undecided. --Red Sunset 18:18, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
