Forum:SH Archive/Indexes

Right, Indexes. I just stumbled across one of them again and wondered: Why do we even need them? Yes, they basically sort new continuty by series, telling us about the input each series made on canon, but do we really need to know that? Template:1st works well for the individual works, as well as the subjects themselves, and even though our series articles generally don't have appearances lists to use that template, appearances sections of individual book and comic articles work just fine as well. And, while lists incorporated into actuals articles should be worked on and expanded, lists that stand by themselves should be gone, right? But as it is too busy on the TC already, I decided to aks question first: is there some other purpose to those indexes, which I'm not aware of? Are they actually being used by somebody, or are they just leftovers from the early days of Wookieepedia, when thousands of articles needed to be sorted of before being created? And shouldn't we just wipe them out if the latter is the case?  Mauser  Comlink 13:29, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
