::::I think thats really spiffy. Perhaps we don't even need templates for group settings if we can just do something like this? | ::::I think thats really spiffy. Perhaps we don't even need templates for group settings if we can just do something like this? | ||

:::::Individual page benefits (and I mean for ''every'' setting): | |||
:::::*Good for settings that fit into multiple categories. In Oblivion, the obvious example was [http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/FMagicDurMagBaseCostMult fMagicDurMagBaseCostMult] which effected everything magicka including potion strength, spell strength, enchantments, vendor prices, etc. | |||
:::::*Easier and clearer to edit - an edit will only be about that setting instead of a group of settings. The talk page will only be about that setting. | |||
:::::*Allows us to implement the page information elsewhere, and on several other pages. | |||
:::::*Very clear when a setting's effect is unknown. | |||
:::::Negatives: | |||
:::::*Annoying to open and navigate multiple pages | |||
:::::*Quite a few settings don't mean anything alone (i.e., Base/Mult combos) | |||
:::::*Have to make/upkeep 100s of pages | |||
:::::To me, those negatives far outweigh the positives. So, where do we put them - formulas, group pages... well, actually, we already have a [[Settings|Page]] :P Like the [http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/List_of_Functions CS List of Functions page], we can place all of the settings here in several tables, such as | |||

[[Auto Aim Settings]] are used to configure the auto-aim feature. | |||
{{Setting | |||
|Name = fAutoAimMaxDistance | |||
|Default = 1800.000000 | |||
|Description = Configures the working distance of Auto Aim in 1st person mode. A red cursor while targeting a hostile character indicates that auto aim will guide your shots towards the targeted body part. | |||
}} | |||
{{Setting | |||
|Name = fAutoAimMaxDegrees | |||
}} | |||
:::::This will make this page a better list - the settings will have enough information to explain what they are without the need to go to another page. Also, this will allow us to be more flexible with the pages we use - a formula, group, or both, and any other relevant page can be linked in a short paragraph, much as we're doing now. Finally, the specific pages will no longer have to fill the role of explaining each setting - they have already been explained over here. | |||
:::::And now, if you'll excuse me - I'm not sure how I'm still awake (but hopefully I am). | |||
