I agree that brown would be the best in this case, as it's relatively unobtrusive. However, my immediate thoughts at the time are the aforementioned light green and a medium gray.

There is no need to make such a move, then. The two nominations pages are already separate, so all we would be doing is changing the names of these pages and creating a seemingly unnecessary "master page". I am opposed to this idea and would personally prefer Forze's original idea of just combining the two nomination pages into one "master" nomination page. Ah, but there is a need: the need to streamline navigation in our own page, which is honestly rather hard to navigate without undue use of the search bar. I think that the scheme we have now is fine, just a bit clunky.

TerrariamcSwaggins wrote: Easy categorization? I don't see how this idea would make it any more simplistic. If anything, we would be making it slightly more difficult by having a bunch of subpages to muck around with, rather than having a single convenient nominations page.

I'm fairly sure that the archiving system would remain the same, with each archive having its own respective archives depending on the which rights the nomination is granting. Don't see how these changes would make it any easier.

I'm speaking of using the system we have now. The proposed changes to that system I proposed are merely for navigation purposes.

There are already pages that clearly explain what each set of rights does. (I.e: Chat Guidelines (which clearly explains the role of chat moderators), Terraria Wiki:Rollback, and Terraria Wiki:Administrator.)

We've never even had the descriptions of each of the rights on the respective nominations pages, so I don't exactly know where this idea came from in the first place.

It came from my own lack of thought; I was not considering the separate pages that had the rights' descriptions, thinking that instead they should be placed conveniently on the nomination pages. That way, people are given a clear view of what they're applying/nominating someone for without having to navigate to a different page.

I'm inclined to think that having just a single page for this would provide the clearest navigation, as opposed to having a bunch of subpages.

Again, I'm speaking of improvements to the current system.

TerrariamcSwaggins wrote: I'm a little confused, here. Outlines? Do you mean this? Because I don't see those three sentences having any kind of a cluttering effect on the page. Let me know if I interpreted this wrong, though, because I probably did.

I'm referring to having descriptions of the rights on their respective nomination pages again.
