They are informative to some extent, but still very poor in comparison with the entry [[MissingNo.]] In fact, the appendix definition seems to be directed at people who already know what MissingNo. is, at least because "data point" is technical jargon and its pertinence is obscure. | | :By the way, [[Appendix:Pokémon species]] defines MissingNo. as "the result of accessing a data point not programmed with a Pokémon" after the introductions "In addition to the official Pokémon, there are unofficial ones." and "Some peculiar Pokémon species may appear in video games as a result of glitches."

I had intended to point out that the Appendix page has places for the content currently at the main namespace entry, i.e. somewhere appropriate to move that content to. I did not intend that the Appendix page, as it currently stands, already contains that information. Sorry for any confusion. | | | + | :: And regarding appendix sub-pages, I meant that subpages or single pages are both fine, in my view -- if an appendix is in single-page format, and the people working on that appendix are fine with that format, then great. Likewise for appendices with subpages. Just from my own point of view, I do not see much utility in changing from one format to the next, unless there is some appreciable improvement in usability and/or content. But that's just me. -- Cheers, [[User:Eirikr|Eiríkr Útlendi]] │ <small style="position: relative; top: -3px;">''[[User talk:Eirikr|Tala við mig]]''</small> 18:43, 26 March 2012 (UTC) | | | | | | | | ==[[Hanging Gardens of Babylon]]== | | ==[[Hanging Gardens of Babylon]]== | | |
