Forum:Episodes, cases, incidents

This started out as an extension of the discussions in Forum:Notability of events. I want to lay out a philosophy of sorts concerning how the various cases in the series would be categorized and organized. In short, there would be a category called "Incidents" whose articles would describe notable events (mostly crimes) that the series talks about, and "Cases" would be a subcategory of those incidents that are left as mysteries to be solved by the player (now that I think about it, I'm not sure how the musicals, manga, etc. would handle this). However, in pondering this, I ran into an issue concerning the kind of inconsistent way we handle cases to begin with, and a lot of that has to do with the episode articles.

The episode articles are in this weird limbo between in-universe and out-of-universe content. One result is that most of them are really long, making it unlikely that very many people read them all the way through. Another is that a lot of the episodes cover multiple cases, some of which have their own articles, creating a lot of redundancy. Not to mention there's one case that spans two episodes! All of this results in navigation within and between articles that I'm sure is confusing to some people, and perhaps discourages the addition of out-of-universe content. The main Ace Attorney Discord server (or at least, the one that the Court Records server merged into) frequently has discussions involving information about the games that is scattered throughout the internet, but is not mentioned within this wiki's pages.

To address these issues, I've been thinking of a way of dividing out the episode pages into smaller chunks that are easier to read, navigate, and edit. The episode pages could be structured something like this:

Thoughts? There are certainly even more complications concerning a proposal like this, though at least maybe the manga/musical/etc.-related articles should be okay. capefeather (talk) 03:26, March 4, 2018 (UTC)
