Hi everyone.

I found that this article could be quite difficult to read for any reader and to search information in it. I thought it may be positive to reorganize it's content to make it more didactic and friendly to the visual of a reader specially concerning the organization of the text about headings, sub-headings and the main index of contents at the beginning.

I thought to change it in a way the individual histories don't take space in the index besides the category itself and to mark the clan as a requirement for the histories instead of sub-divide them by clan.

I would like to read opinions of other users about this issue and which changes they would like to do if any.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Crajo2 (talkcontribs)

I agree the index looks messy, but how would you propose we remove the histories from the TOC? Removing the = and marking them up with wikitext would work, but it looks weird (in my opinion). The only thing I can think of would be to create a subpage for the histories (similar to the discipline, masquerade, etc. headings), but that wouldn’t solve the problem, just relocate it. As for your suggestion regarding the clan subdivisions, can you respond with how you would format the individual entries with your proposed changes?Daughters of Coldharbourtalk 01:12, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the corrections before all, I forgot to edit using the add topic properly and it was quite incomplete and sloppy so I should work on that signing issue later. I was thinking in for example converting this:

So you're a little boy-crazy. And maybe you like to get guys' attention. And maybe you like to fool around. That don't mean people have the right to go talking about you and calling you names – they don't know you! In undeath your now-stunted sexual appetite has reemerged in a curious way; you more readily digest the fluids of the opposite sex, and therefore gain extra blood when feeding on men. Unfortunately, having slept your way through life, you have a hard time learning its little lessons. You must spend more experience to raise your Mental Attributes.

Into something like this:

Or to make a division of the histories by Clans like now but only from 7 to 7.7 (one by clan) with sub-headings "Gangrel histories" and so on avoiding the appearence in the index of the 7.1.1, 7.1.2, and so on of each one of the histories so the index doesn't shows from 7.1.1 to 7.1.18 and so on. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Crajo2 (talkcontribs)
