Forum:FAQ section cluttered?

I tried to find a manual on collapsible tables in our forum's FAQ section and it struck me that the section is rather hard to browse and the titles are not always representing what the thread is about. I guess it's about time to clean the section up a bit. It seems to be doing the job since there are less "How to disable picture attribution?" or "How do I make collapsible tables" questions, but in the rate the threads are added to the list, it will soon become an impossible-to-browse useless list, that's why I'd like to suggest a few solutions:


 * Split the list into sections, keeping the DPL structure - this would require less work and would allow to maintain the simplicity of adding threads to the FAQ. The downsides are that the FAQ template would now HAVE to be used and in order to make it list the threads in appropriate subsections it would need to use a parameter. The threads that are not precisely titled would need to be moved manually to better names too.


 * Replace the DPL with a regular wiki list - this would allow easier formatting and modifying of the whole thread, including subsections, no changes to the threads would be needed as the links could be formatted in the article. The downsides are that it would need to be updated "manually".

Personally I'm slightly leaning towards the first option. I'd be happy to implement either solution if it gets enough positive feedback from the regular users of the forum. Or perhaps there's another solution for the problem?

 * If we added a param to FAQ for the section, it would be pretty easy. Having to use FAQ doesn't seem like a big burden.
 * Ultimately, I think FAQ'd posts should be migrated to concise help pages and then have a list referring to those help pages, but that is a longer term goal and requires better cooperation of Wikia. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 14 May 2011 11:38 PM Pacific
