I don't support individual articles for Creation Club content. I absolutely do not support individual articles for things in creations. This is more a matter of practice than principle, although I am still relatively skeptical about adding fan content to the wiki.

The Crown Store page, to use your example, is ridiculously challenging to keep updated as it is. It is already very outdated. I am literally the only person on the wiki who updates the Creation Club page, and because I am rather busy, it is usually outdated too. And the only things that it's covering are the name, image, price, and description of the creations. It still takes more energy than we have.

But you can argue that we just shouldn't be lazy about such things. Fine. Regardless, one of the most important reasons that Creation Club content was not permitted individual pages in 2016 was because of the fact that creations cost a lot of money. As much as I would like to be able to say otherwise, I unfortunately do not own a mint, and cannot create money out of thin air. Nor, to my knowledge, can any of you!

It would be unfair on our editors, and especially our patrollers/admins, who need to be able to check the veracity of content added to the wiki firsthand, to require them to spend the amount of money that Bethesda would like them to spend in order to flesh out full articles about CC. Creations are not really comparable to expansion packs like Dawnguard or Dragonborn, which have an absolutely gigantic amount of content (far, far, far more than any creation, even the big ones).

Bethesda has recently jumped aboard the microtransaction train, and show absolutely no indication of hopping off. Creation Club content is already logistically challenging to document, but this will only become worse in future titles. If you want to thoroughly document any CC content, we would have to do it for all CC content; we would also have to do it for all games that have any sort of CC-like store. We simply do not have the resources as a community to add fleshed-out content about creations, only this basic stuff, which is alright in a table on the CC page.
