It's not so much about determining whether or not it's the right page. It's what the average user is visiting the page to find. Most of the time when I'm looking up something like Vivec, it's to remind me what he's the god of. I just want to know his domains, not everything he's ever done. I don't want to have to read more than a few sentences down the page to find out the basics of what his spheres of control are. If I stumble across a shrine to John, the god of failure, I'm going to the wiki to find out what he represents. I don't need to know that he was born under the fourth moon of the third era, participated in wars x, y, and z, etc. I just want to know whether or not I should use his shrine and what might result from doing so. The faster I find out John is the god of failure, the sooner I can back away from the shrine and go about my business. If the wiki makes me read more than I want about a topic, it's not serving its purpose as well as it could. If I'm interested in anything beyond a very basic description/summary, I can always scroll down and read it. I'm guessing a typical visitor to the Vivec page just wants to know he's the patron of artists, rogues, and is associated with mastery and duality.
