Looking for Feedback: New Rules Page

Post by tattle » #627895

I've been working on a new rules page for a bit now: same old content, brand new format.
https://tgstation13.org/wiki/User:Dragomagol/Rules

The purpose of this change was to unite the rules, roleplay rules, silicon policy, and security policy in a way that makes them all equally visible.

Screenshots of the proposed change:

The main loss I think from this is the table of contents, but I've tried to mitigate it by linking precedents to each rule with the rule. Thoughts?

I feel like adding the actual rule itself (e.g. When you mention "Rule 1 of the main rules apply to security" under Security Policy) might make it a little easier than having to continuously flip pages back and forth. I don't know how if it might make it a bit more convoluted. The "Rule 4" of that same page actually does mention snippets from Game Rule 4, but it's absent from the mention Rule 1 (and probably in the other three policies/specific rules).
Simultaneously making both the best and worst jokes on the internet. I like looking at maps and code. Learn how to map today!. You may rate me here.

This looks pretty, but it feels like it's going to be harder to Ctrl+F, which is the only thing I do on the rules page these days.

Do the thing we do at the Chemistry page, hovering over Rule 4 should make it appear in a tooltip.

A good point! I think the only things that got pushed away from the main rules was silicon and security; the roleplay rules were already on their own page and headmin rulings are still on their own page. Thought about moving escalation to its own page but it really doesn't need one.

Now this is an idea; I think that anchors between tabs don't work so well, so this kind of thing would be good.
