So your plan is to divide the unified nomination page into separate pages for each rights nomination? This doesn't seem much different or anymore efficient than the system we have now, and seems to render having a "master" page useless, or very close to being useless. Please clarify if I got it wrong, though. :3

SilverHexxitFights wrote: Though the need for the descriptions is not the only reason I advocated for keeping the current system, it is the primary one. This is unnecessary as there is already links to a thorough explanation of the rights on each nomination page. I'm sure that this trait will also be passed on to the proposed unified nomination page, so this doesn't seem to be a problem. (See below for more elaboration on this.) Additionally, I'd be inclined to think that including the entire descriptions of the rights (both on the current and unified versions of the the nomination system) would be quite cumbersome, especially on a page reserved specifically nominations. I can understand your concern, but this particular move just doesn't seem necessary to me.

I don't think I would be opposed to having a brief summary of the rights on the nominations pages (as Forze mentioned above), though. As long as it doesn't appear to be too cumbersome. These brief summaries should also contain links to the full description, of course.

SilverHexxitFights wrote: I have not been arguing on the completely wrong tangent; I did in fact grasp what you meant and was providing reasons (through the improvement, which I thought to be exclusive to this current system).

Refer to this post for the out-of-context counter-claims. You don't consider the points brought up against your improvements vs. the unified nominations page, but rather dismiss them by saying, "Again, I'm speaking of improvements to the current system." and such.

When I said above, "...wrong context this entire time, then.", I was incorrect. It was just the post that I linked above, I believe. My apologies.

However, as this wiki has few nominations, I'm not certain that would be a problem; ... You said it, not I. This is not a problem.

SilverHexxitFights wrote: ...[H]owever, the archives might become one unless separate ones were kept for each right (as Swaggins said above).

I'm in agreement that the archives should be kept separated, or even left as-is.

Debating aside, I'd also like to make clear what I had in mind when I heard Forze's suggestion. I feel that things are getting a little confusing here, so I hope this will shed some light on what I had in mind for this.

I personally think that there should be one page that hosts all the nominations. This would be the single, unified nominations page (with probably the name, Terraria Wiki:Rights Nominations).

On the said page, there would be links to all the descriptions of the rights (i.e: Links to Terraria Wiki:Administrators, Terraria Wiki:Rollback, and Terraria Wiki:Forum Moderators (to be created)), and the brief summaries that Forze mentioned above.

Also on the said page, there would be a link to each of the respective archive pages (which would remain separated).

To elaborate, all nominations would be hosted on this one page, each with the respective section heading. (I.e: Squazzil - Forum Moderator Nomination, or something of the sort.)

That's my personal opinion on how I think this should be worked out.
