==Consolidating Pages==

I have taken the information that was on [[:Category:Storylines]] since it was getting long and moved it here into a sortable table. I also had some concern that by having both pages, we were requiring a duplication of effort to update multiple places across the wiki at the same time - or one or another page would be out of date. I also combined what was existing on the page into one table, although I plan on coming back after hearing feedback to add a major/minor column if that distinction is still preferred. (I'm happy to add in the column and put in the data that was existing on the page into that column if that's what is preferred.) If you hate all of this, please feel free to revert it, but I think we will still need another solution for the [[:Category:Storylines]] page as the data was getting unwieldy and out of sync across pages. I am curious if there is a way to automate a list of all the titles from the table on this page to populate on the category page.

I like the look of this, but what about Category:Storylines FIREPHOENIX (talk) 21:14, 13 February 2017 (CST)

We can add storyline subcategories like "Storylines in 2017". For the naming convention, would real years (2017) or Elanthian years (5117) be preferable? ZHOUY1 (talk) 13:29, 15 February 2017 (CST)
