First I suggest you to read this: http://galaxyonfire.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:26866

Right, planet pages are marked for overhaul. But is it right to overhaul them? Not only would it take a unnecessarily long time and effort, I'm not sure what the point of doing so is. I'll let you have a look at the good and the bad about deleting planet pages.

Good about Overhauling

 * Clears the Wiki up


 * More organised


 * No need to individually edit planet pages

Bad about Overhauling

 * Takes an unnecessarily long time


 * A lot of effort (about 100 planet pages)


 * Only Admins are able to delete


 * Not bothered to do so (?)

It is true that many of these pages are stubs. We just have to go ahead and fix them. It's certainly easier than deleting every single page individually and then transferring their information onto the pages of the planets' systems.

On another point, I've just come to this Wiki, and I really don't know what Admins are about, but it is common to have an Admin busy with the happenings in their life and not have time for Wikis, I've seen it happen.

Oh, and I forgot to mention, if someone was to search a planet, it is much easier to type in the planet's name than to type in the System's name and scroll through the huge block to text to find the planet. A change this big will reduce the numbers of the pages on the Wiki and...well...I've never had a change of this proportion on my Wiki.

I, for one, am against deleting planet pages, especially because whoever created the planet pages will have their work erased, and the stubs can be fixed without having to delete them. I'm already working on improving the stubs.

+1 to support my opinion, -1 to go for overhauling.
