Hence, my proposal is that we split some of our larger location pages into centuries. Using London as an example, we could potentially have pages for <code><nowiki>[[London/19th century]]</nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>[[London/20th century]]</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>[[London/21st century]]</nowiki></code>. We would still have a the whole history of London on the main London page, but as a broader, less detailed, overview. Any in depth details about these centuries would be placed on the subpages. This would allow us to go into much greater detail about specific eras of London's history. We could also have geography sections on how the the location appears during these centuries, or government sections on how a city or country is governed during these periods. Locations change over time. I think by using subpages in this way, we can enhance the readability of our location pages, while also increasing the amount of content.

:I 100% support the idea of splitting our pages like London and Earth, but after reviewing [[T:SUBPAGE#When not to use a subpage]], I'm less sure where these pages should be located. It would be different if they were nested under [[London/History/19th century]], for instance, but since we also want to cover geography it's a bit awkward. Plus, I could see other pages wanting to link to these pages, just like [[The Master's early life]]. Maybe we could achieve this split with pages like [[19th century London]] rather than subpages specifically? – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 14:11, 24 March 2023 (UTC) | |||
=== Promotion === | |||
Another idea that I forgot about when writing the OP, which I'll toss in at the 11th hour just in case it proves non-controversial: <code><nowiki>[[/Promotion]]</nowiki></code> for series pages. For instance, <nowiki>[[</nowiki>[[Series 9 (Doctor Who)]]/Promotion<nowiki>]]</nowiki> and <nowiki>[[</nowiki>[[The First Doctor: Volume One]]/Promotion<nowiki>]]</nowiki>. This would provide a place for covering the trailers, news articles, promotional tweets, interviews, and/or "next time" segments associated with a release in depth. – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 14:11, 24 March 2023 (UTC) | |||
