Forum:Removing all tactics/tips from pages.

What I've noticed, on the pages that have them, is that the amount of tactics often outweighs facts present on those pages. For instance, just recently I removed a "tactics" section which was twice as long as the actual page itself (not including trivia). Particularly at risk of being drowned in "tactics" are map pages. As a matter of fact, nearly all map pages from MW2 have a "tactics", "tips (and tricks)" header (some even have both), or are under the header "strategies". However, not all tactics are necessarily under a glaring header such as that; they are just as likely to be found in the article body itself, and as with their segregated cousins, are still poorly-written and highly subjective.

Basically, all I'm proposing is that we remove or ban (or both) all tactics on the mainspace, as not only is it highly subjective, it is unprofessional and often not particularly well-written. How one person wants us to play a game is, also, completely irrelevant to Call of Duty, and, in my opinion, and insult to every logical person who happens by.

I absolutely HAVE to agree with this. The strategy page for many of the zombie maps (Kino der Toten and Five are prime examples) got so large they needed to be made seperate pages. Half of the Kino der Toten/Strategies page has all sorts of MoS violations (I saw several "I reccommend..." in reading it). I support this wholeheartedly. Cpl.

 * Yeah I like this idea, I did it with the Terminal page and it looked better for it anyways. Smuff [ The cake is a lie.  ] 01:37, December 30, 2010 (UTC)

While I understand where this is coming from, I disagree. While tactics pages can become unruly behemoths of bad grammar and ironically bad tactics, I have to say that there have been good tips posted on pages. Perhaps some sort of tactics policy is necessary. Maybe tactics should be submitted somewhere before being allowed to be posted. Maybe there should just be a tactics page that is admin-protected so any tactics added had to be reviewed first.  Poketape Talk  08:08, December 30, 2010 (UTC)

Agree with Poketape. The tactics and tips can be very useful indeed. IMO, removing them would just be a waste. Sgt. S.S. 11:38, December 30, 2010 (UTC)
