Critical Role wiki:Suggestions

This page serves as a talk page for suggestions for the wiki! If there's something you think would add to the experience, please feel free to drop it here! Remember to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ); see the talk page policy for more tips.

Here's both a suggestion and an example of how to add suggestions!

Right now, entering will put a page into the Articles needing citations/CxEE category page. I find this category page is really useful while an episode is Twitch-only/just after the VOD is posted on YouTube, for updating the citations, but once that initial work is done, it mostly just clutters the citation needed pages and makes them hard to navigate. Improvements would require an overhaul to, but I think it would be worth it. Thoughts on how to do this? -Untropicalisland (talk) 23:18, May 16, 2022 (UTC)

Infobox changes!
Hello folks! I'm starting a discussion here because I've been making changes in Infoboxes as we get things started. The work is not really started, but I'd like to solicit out there if anyone feels quite strongly about anything that should be changed in the Infoboxes.

These Infobox changes are being made with the goal of making the flow of information in Infoboxes clearer. This means reorganizing the groups information is listed in, and sometimes adding new fields. Currently, some notable Infobox changes are to:
 * Infobox Episode — See comparison: Campaign / series / group now more prominently displayed under the title and above the image, combined VOD / Podcast / Transcript field that is now grouped with a field for Talks Machina (and 4-Sided Dive), combined episode chronology field, link to episode list at bottom
 * Infobox City / Infobox Location — See comparison, the location infobox will be similar: Mostly just reorganizing the groupings and changing the way the maps are displayed
 * Infobox Character — See example: This is not yet converted to the Lua template that the previous ones are using (but it will be eventually). Notice the regroupings: mechanical information is moved to the bottom with the addition of a new "Background" field. "Partner" and "Children" separations from "Family" are also new, but are already present in the live version, but I'm taking opportunity to point them out.

There's further plans to recolor the infoboxes based on some variables, such as having different colors for campaigns in Infobox Episode or different colors for PCs in Infobox Character, but this isn't the biggest priority at the moment.

The other Infoboxes will also be converted to Lua, but as far as I remember off the top of my head, they will largely stay the same structurally. If you have any significant suggestions about reorganizing any of the infoboxes or restructuring them, please let me know right here in this section. —CaptainOfTheTidesBreath (aye, captain!) 22:41, June 4, 2022 (UTC)
