| + | ==Consolidating similar subjects within a category== | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===Regarding a proposed 'Camshaft' article:=== | ||
| + | |||
| + | There's already a couple pages pertaining to some part of camshafts ([[Cam and compression ratio compatibility]] and [[Camshaft install tips and tricks]]) under the 'Engine' category. | ||
| + | |||
| + | I want to do an article with an overview of how the camshaft works, along info on the different types of cams and why they came to be, etc. | ||
| + | |||
| + | My question is, should this be a new category like what was done with 'Quadrajet carburetor', or should it be a page in 'Engine' like the two pages I mentioned above? | ||
| + | |||
| + | Or is there a way to use a bullet list in the different categories, i.e.: | ||
| + | |||
| + | (Engine category, under "C") | ||
| + | *Camshaft page (either as a page containing the info I mentioned above like 'How the cam works', 'Types of cams', etc., or just used as a title with the actual pages below this not-linked title) | ||
| + | **Cam and compression ratio compatibility page | ||
| + | **Camshaft install tips and tricks page | ||
| + | **Et cetera? | ||
| + | |||
| + | There are other instances where this could put pages on a similar subject together under a heading- like : | ||
| + | |||
| + | *RPO codes (containing an overview and possibly other info) | ||
| + | **GM RPO build codes | ||
| + | **General Motors build codes | ||
| + | **More GM RPO codes | ||
| + | |||
| + | There are actually many subjects that could be done this way, like firing orders of various engines that are listed separately, valve train components that are listed separately, reciprocating assembly components that are listed separately, etc. | ||
| + | |||
| + | I would have tried this out on one subject to see what it looked like and how it performed, but I seem to be unable to edit the list of pages in the individual categories like 'Engine', etc. | ||
