[Wot-l] A question...(a little off topic--hope you don't mind)

[Terez]

I don't think *anyone's* relationship with the Encyclopaedia is friendly
enough that we could just copy what they have there, if that's what you're
getting at.  Though their chapter and character summaries are very detailed
in some ways, there is a lot that could be added to them...

I would say that, if we're going to be doing character and chapter
summaries, that we should cover things that are noticeably absent in their
summaries - not that it would be necessary to avoid duplicating what they
have.  We just don't want to be redundant.  I would also suggest an external
link to their summary at the bottom of each wiki page, but I haven't yet
figured out a way to link individual pages within the Encyclopaedia - each
internal page has the same url.  Perhaps someone with more general computer
knowledge could help with that - and there should be no issue with the
Encyclopaedia's copyright by making external links to their pages.
