Currently, this game is all listed as one story. At the very least, though, all the events are distinct, separate stories, almost entirely unrelated to the main narrative. Shouldn't this mean they should get their own pages?

Additionally, it's not 100% clear yet as it's still ongoing, but the main, original narrative seems to have wrapped up at Chapter 40, and the latest chapters, 41-45, appear to be telling a new, unrelated story. It's probably premature now, but we may need to consider breaking the main game out into separate stories as well at some point.[[User:Schreibenheimer|Schreibenheimer]] [[User talk:Schreibenheimer|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 15:08, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

Story Separation[[edit source]]

Currently, this game is all listed as one story. At the very least, though, all the events are distinct, separate stories, almost entirely unrelated to the main narrative. Shouldn't this mean they should get their own pages?

Additionally, it's not 100% clear yet as it's still ongoing, but the main, original narrative seems to have wrapped up at Chapter 40, and the latest chapters, 41-45, appear to be telling a new, unrelated story. It's probably premature now, but we may need to consider breaking the main game out into separate stories as well at some point.Schreibenheimer 15:08, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

Perhaps you haven’t noticed, but the events are already covered in full on Lost in Time (video game)/Events. I’m in the process of writing up the stories of each event as they go.
As for the main story, I’m not sure we should go there right now. Danniesen 15:31, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
I do think that the events should receive separate pages each. Covering them all on a single page is unwieldy and causes issues with templates. The closest precedent seems to be Legacy which has separate pages for Bigger on the Inside and Sonic Adventure. Moreover, using a subpage for them goes against Tardis:Subpage policy#When not to use a subpage. Bongo50 18:35, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
