Dear Haikyuu!! Wiki Users, Recently, New Contributor 1qaz2wdc3edc4rfv had created pages for each Volume of the Haikyū!! series (example below Wiki Contributor 1qaz2wdc3efv's defense). There were, however, several complaints from Wiki users about the Volume pages, stating that they were unnecessary since the Volume List page supposedly lists all the required amount of information about the Volumes. Because of this problem, a major voting session was made to decide whether or not the Wiki should keep or discard these pages. It is highly recommended that all Wiki users that see this voting session thread vote as it will more accurately represent the Haikyuu!! Wiki Community. _________________________________________________________________________ When asked, Wiki Contributor 1qaz2wdc3edc4rfv provided a defense to state his/her reasons for creating the pages and his/her reason of why the pages should be kept. The following is Wiki Contributor 1qaz2wdc3efv's statement and points: "The two main reasons why there should be separate volume pages in addition to a unified page that lists all the volumes: need for information and ease of access. First, there are certain information that can only be included in an individual volume page. For example, the characters illustrated on the front and back face of the dust jacket, the spine, and front and back cover. Then there are the facts uniquely included in the volume such as extra illustrations and character statistics. Another useful info that can be added in the individual volume pages are the sale figures. If we decide to cram all these information from all the volumes into one single page, then we are crowding that page; it’ll become unnavigable to the typical user. However, if we decide to omit such facts to avoid overcrowding, then we are doing a disservice to the wiki. After all, the examples I mentioned above are all legitimate information that a wiki should contain. As alluded earlier, the second reason why there should be a separate volume page is to make it easier for a user to navigate the wiki. For example, the chapter box template contains an entry for the volume that a chapter belongs. If there are no individual volume pages, then a user is forced to go to the “Volumes Guide” page, scroll down until he reaches the right volume, and then is only able to see the information he was looking for. In addition, having a separate volume pages allows for a natural categorical page, which would further organize the wiki. Accessibility and information are two reasons why we should have a separate volume page. Wiki sites from One Piece to the Prince of Tennis to Naruto and to the Polish’ Haikyuu, all uses a separate volume page and a unified page. We should do the same. " Here is an example of one of the Volume Pages: Hinata and Kageyama (First Volume Page) _________________________________________________________________________ Question: Do you, as a Wiki User, think that the Wiki should keep the pages or discard the pages?
