Talk:Winter Event

Dates

o.o I set the run date since it normally IS suppost to be december, the 2004 one was horrifically late.. the 2006 one is mostly already done and planned for december as well.. --Sleepy Kitty 06:21, 26 November 2006 (PST)

Page Content

I can't be the only one who is noticing the sheer amount of redundant information that gets added to each successive holiday page. Should we maybe start a precedent of some kind (or maybe there is and I missed it...) where we have only information specific to that one year: what was added, what if anything was removed. And then just link to the previous year? It just seems like a ton of information for the various holiday events doesn't change, and yet every year a new page is created re-telling us about earmuffs and the like... Is there another option to remedy this that I am not seeing? Is it even a problem to anyone else? —Thirty7 22:27, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Since most people want to see an overview of everything in one glance, I see no reason not to keep duplicating information year to year. Not to mention the bulk of the information is in subpages of Winter Event itself, and it's only a quickie comment on the basics of that part of the event with a link to the main article. ~ User:Aggelakis/Sig1 23:34, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Maybe we could consolidate the information from the yearly events into the main Winter Event article. Then each year, update the Winter Event article to reflect the current year's event. We could then have a historical section that details how the event changed over time on a per year basis. I really don't think there's that much value in retaining every year's full event article when most of it is the same year to year. -- Sekoia 04:31, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

I think that is an excellent idea, Sekoia! Much better than mine in continually linking to the previous year's event. —Thirty7 18:43, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
