Talk:Jobs

Holy shit when did this become Unfunny Joke Central? Icarus (talk) 20:08, 19 March 2014 (CET)

And I even tried to keep it down and remove the exceptionally unfunny shit (see Adam0621's edits which got reverted). Kingofkosmos (talk) 00:24, 20 March 2014 (CET)

Overhaul to jobs and guides

We have a problem: too many pages to look info from and some contain the info twice, even thrice in the job-page, location-page and guide-page (e.g. Atmos Tech, Atmospherics, Guide to Atmospherics). We should aim for all info only being said clearly once in one page.

Also some pages are having an identity crisis about what they're supposed to be: are job pages a guide to the job or not? I am proposing that only jobs which don't have almost anything in common with another job (e.g. Janitor) can use the job-page as the guide-page in itself (e.g. Janitor doesn't need a separate Guide to Janitoring because that would be silly).

So mostly job-pages need to be cleared out of things, and moved to the Guide to X.

Job pages should only have info that is specifically THEIR JOB and no one else's.

Everything else goes into the Guide-page!

E.g. Security Officers and Wardens need to know how to brig people, so info how to brig should be only in Guide to Security, the guide is for all Security jobs to read. But only Security Officer needs to know how to equip themselves like a proper officer so that's on their job-page. And the Head of Security needs to know all of this, but let's assume HoS player has played all of the subordinate jobs and knows their shit. So here's the upcoming overhaul of job-pages:

BASIC STUFF FOR ALL JOB-PAGES (include at least these):

• Who's your boss.
• What items you're gonna be using --> item-page links.
• How to equip yourself.
• What you're gonna be doing --> guide-page links if some other job is doing that too.
• Antag ideas (if not antag-protected).
