Transferring content from sub-articles

Hi, I would like to know why my edit was undone, since the content of the articles AE files: AE Emergency Manual and AE files: Tablet Emails was only transferred to that article, because by the time it was made, the tabview feature had stopped being supported, however, it could no longer invoke sub-articles. But that would have been resolved just by invoking articles with {{:<articlename>}}.

Was there a vote at the time to decide whether this would be resolved by invoking the articles with another type of feature or just transferring it to the main article? --LeFaith (talk) 00:31, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

As the one who first undid your edit, I feel I should respond. In my view, I believe all of Layla's, Numbskull's, and Noob's files should be consolidated on their one respective page so that spare pages aren't "floating" around here. I admit I didn't know the code to display pages in tabs and hadn't thought to search ways to replicate tabview, but I cannot speak for other editors. So far as I know, there was not a vote, but maybe there was and I can't find it buried in the Forums / Fandom Discussion. I just know there was unspoken agreement to manually shift everything over since the main focus was preparing for Valhalla's then-upcoming release the next month. – Darman (talk) 01:00, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

Since this has not been discussed/voted on, it makes no sense to make that decision. This is not a simple edition, it is the restructuring of the wiki, because it is about deleting an article and transferring the content to another one. --LeFaith (talk) 01:27, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

Following the advice of other editors on Discord, I will list here why the previous version of the article is better: The main article is faster to edit in the browser and easier to edit the desired sections. With all the sections written within the main article, the main article is more overloaded and more difficult to edit. An example of this is the 21st century conversations article (which I’m already discussing with the community about creating sub-articles). --LeFaith (talk) 02:53, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
