None of this answers why the relevant NPC information could not be placed under an existing section (such as Literature). The reasons against floating pages were from a largely organizational and coding stand point. They were made by the individual who is largely responsible for building the new wiki for this community. That individual polled the community, and the majority opinion came out not in favor of changing the status quo. A decision was made that the suggested changes would not be worth implementing. Simply put, the minority would have to deal with the status quo because that is majority opinion.
What transpired afterward was people making a case for why the minority opinion should be implemented anyway. The result is that a major contributor to the community has decided to no longer contribute. Frankly, after reading some of these posts, I do not blame her in the slightest for her decision. Why volunteer your time and energy if people are just going to question your decisions with out directly contributing. This is all just the situation as it currently.Â
That being said, the actual important question has yet to be answered. As I stated above, I have yet to see any case made for why the wiki hampers people from posting content about NPCs under an existing section, or why it is important that NPCs have their own floating pages. I suggest that we answer or discuss these questions first, before this situation progresses farther.
