I just posted to the talk page for Bugs (Skyrim). After looking through the mess of that page, I really think that the best thing to do is to move all the bug reports off to their most applicable articles (e.g. the Dragon Soul bug reports should go to the Dragon Soul page), and then lock that page down telling people where to go. As it is today, it just too unweildy to be useful. There is this vast "Unsorted" section that requires text searching in order to find anything.

If we want users to see what bugs are applicable to their situation, we are asking them to sift through 600 lines of reports (most reports being just one of those lines) in addition to the Bugs section on the regular article. That doesn't seem right. In addition, there are many duplicates between the Bugs page and the Bugs sections of other articles. Finally, there are entire discussions on the page that should frankly have been on the Talk page.

I would just go ahead and start doing this, but my concern is that I don't really know what the purpose for the Bugs page was in the first place (as opposed to the bugs sections of the other articles), and I'm afraid I would be causing other problems. Also, should we just copy all the bug reports out there without any further confirmation, or should they go on the Talk page for the appropriate article first?
