Talk:Homestuck: Act 2

Indexing
I've been thinking about undertaking a project of indexing these Act summaries. I always thought they would be useful with some links to the actual comic pages we're summarizing - that way it'd be a nice resource to look something up without having to hunt through the archive on-site. I want to make sure the formatting looks good, though, so I've got a couple possibilities at this point.

Option 1
Use our HS link format with links to the MSPA page number. Definitely the simplest one to implement. Example:

"Important events in act 2 are:

..."
 * HS 2148The Wayward Vagabond was introduced and started commanding John from years in the future (but not many).
 * HS 2149Rose started a Sburb walkthrough on GameFAQS.
 * HS 2150John's House was teleported to the Medium.
 * HS 2151The Kernelsprite divided, leaving only the sprite portion which gets accidentally prototyped with Nanna's ashes.

Option 2
Use our HS link format and include the HS-specific page number, i.e. starting with "1" as the first page of HS.

"Important events in act 2 are:

..."
 * HS 2148 (248)The Wayward Vagabond was introduced and started commanding John from years in the future (but not many).
 * HS 2149 (249)Rose started a Sburb walkthrough on GameFAQS.
 * HS 2150 (250)John's House was teleported to the Medium.
 * HS 2151 (251)The Kernelsprite divided, leaving only the sprite portion which gets accidentally prototyped with Nanna's ashes.

Option 3
Use our HS link format with just the house icon. I like this idea the best, personally, but I don't have a way to implement it just yet. We could probably figure out a way to fiddle with the link template to make it work, or maybe just make a new template: (HS indexing).

What I Need
Opinions! Is this a good idea? Or is it totally retarded and useless? Which format one do you like best?

I'd be happy to do this whole thing myself. However, I'd like to make sure we're going about it the best way before I start on anything, as it'll be a pretty big undertaking. --Jumpjet2k 23:34, September 29, 2010 (UTC)
