 * It was decided that we would confine all Creation Club content to a single page, rather than documenting separate articles for each mod. If you see any such modded content added elsewhere on the wiki, please remove it.

So this is really a very minor thing, but for example: We are 99% certain that Stendarr's Hammer will have creation club edition thanks to leaks in the files. So, is mentioning that Stendarr's Hammer also appears in "Skyrim" fit for removal if it were to be added? Or should it not be mentioned on the original page at all? Also, what caused the change in policy?


 * The lack of neutrality in the "Personality" section of many character articles was brought up as a reason for possibly removing the section altogether on articles. In the end, we decided to keep the section for characters whose articles actually benefit from it, and summarize this more briefly in the lead for less important pages. All such information must be cited from in-game dialogue, books, and/or other related materials.

I agree with this, but only partially. As someone who has been adding dialogue for the last couple of weeks? Months? I agree that character articles with dialogue should not have a personality part, as it can be read through the dialogue. On the other hand, those without dialogue should stay, for the time being, as there should at least be an indication of how the person's like. I don't think it's a must have. Granted, I wasn't present at the Moot, and it's been decided now.


 * Lastly, we unanimously agreed to change the way An Elder Scrolls Novel: The Infernal City and An Elder Scrolls Novel: Lord of Souls books are referenced. The new format would cite the relevant chapter instead of the page number, because the latter varies somewhat depending on the format and edition of the books.

Another thing I rather dislike, as someone who owns the paper edition of the book, it's a real bother to have to go back page after page until you find the chapter it belongs to, and it entirely gets you out of the reading mood. I haven't added a lot of Infernal City or Lord of Souls content, but was planning on re-reading the Novels again sometime soon to add information. Since only very few people actually own the novels, and I know from experience that having to find a chapter when reading a book is a pain in the behind, progress would be rather slow on the Infernal City and Lord of Souls pages, if it wasn't for AoK it might not have gotten any further than it did the majority of the time here.
