While browsing through many of the wiki's articles for other improvement tasks, I've identified another element of wiki best practises, which I thought I should bring to your attention, since it could improve how users find and identify content. I've noticed how many of this wiki's articles do not have a lede section at the top of the article. The Fandom staff "best practises" blog I linked above describes it as such:

"The first section of an article, before any headings, is called the lede or introduction. As this is a reader's (and a search engine's) first introduction to an article, it should contain one to two paragraphs of the summary of an article."

A lede section is very important to have on articles, since it optimizes search engines' ability to properly identify what a page is, when people search for certain terms on Google etc. For those browsing this wiki, it also allows them to identify, at-a-glance, what the topic of the article is, without them having to scroll down the page, past a potentially lengthy table of contents and other sections, before figuring out whether or not the article is going to be useful for them.

While the overall design of articles on this wiki is completely up to you and your content moderators, I would highly recommend incorporating lede sections into the design of all articles. - Sitb ( Message wall / Talk page )  12:09, January 14, 2020 (UTC)
