Forum:Navigation

I've been a long time CNC fan but even I've found navigating this wiki to be be a nightmare. Almost every link in the contents box on the main page leads to a category page, which usually leads to a alphabetical list. This is fine if (for example) you know the name of a specific unit but not if you want to browse units by faction or game. Pages like Allies (RA Universe), Soviet Units and Structures Summary or List of Red Alert 3 units should be made far more prominent. There should be direct links to them on the main page itself. Clicking on the "Tiberian Universe" icon on the main page lead to a dead end with nothing but a link to the Mammoth 27 page?

Why does the Allied faction have two separate pages when it's not yet clear what, if any, link Red Alert has to Tiberium? (This is mostly EA/Westwood's fault for their mixed signals) Why does "Allies" page redirect to the Tiberium Universe Allies? Surely it should go to the Red Alert Allies by default.

Secondly, the "in universe" style may be interesting and characterful but it's also unencyclopaedic. Giving the wars names like "Great World War III" and "World War III" is just confusing and they should be replaced with "Red Alert 2" or "Red Alert 3".

Sorry if any of this has already been covered. - Ex Machinæ 14:37, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
