This suggestion is inspired by a question from Andrew, who asked me "What do I do with history sections for Star Systems to avoid it being just a copy-paste of the planet's history?" Thinking on this question, it occurs to me that, in Star Army:
- System pages rarely offer much of value and are kind of an extra stepping stone to planet pages
- System pages and planet pages usually have the same history and this makes either for copy-pasta or extra work for editors
- A common "places" template has just replaced both system and planet templates and it's a lot more RP-oriented
- A lot of places need to be updated
- Now that we use struct for most sorting of places, it doesn't matter what namespace a planet or system is in--as long as that namespace is assigned to the places schema
- Allow place pages to include both the notable planet in a star system AND the star system info because most of the time it will look like "there's a couple of rock planets in the system too."
- These combined pages would live in the places: namespace
- Merge old system and planet pages into replacement place pages (e.g. instead of Nataria System and Planet Nataria, just make a page for Nataria and include all the relevant info).
- If there's enough interesting info for both the planet and the system page, it's fine to have a page for both.
- Make place type a multi so places can be counted as more than one category, so a place can be both a planet AND a system, or it can be both a space station AND a military facility
- Heavily cuts down on pages we need to update template for NOW
- Also drastically reduces the amount pages that will need updates in the FUTURE when plots touch them
- More flexible organization of places in the SARPiverse
