Talk:The Nexian DMT Handbook

As a quick suggestion: We may want to limit the handbook to MHRB, Chacruna, and Chaliponga in terms of commonly used botanics.--amor_fati 06:19, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

The Handbook Transclusion Project

Among the biggest current and potential problems for the handbook are inconsistency and clutter, so I propose using transclusion to solve these issues, much in the same way I've been using it for botanicals. I will start with a simple topic like The Machine, prep its individual page for transclusion, delete the section for it in the handbook, and replace it with a transclusion. Beyond that, I will work on pages for broader topics like Straight-To-Base Extraction and so forth. Eventually, nearly every part of the handbook will be a transclusion from a separate page and will enable the consolidation of all information regarding each individual topic.

A neat trick for allowing users to edit a transcluded section directly from the handbook page is to include the handbook's section heading in the topic's particular page, rather than to put it above the transclusion in the handbook's page.--amor_fati 21:32, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
