In this [[Special:Diff/320297|edit]] the structure section is fine, but copying the list of reviews per year from the source site in seemingly random order is very questionable. Personally, I fail to see the point: the volume is huge, the local list is bound to fall out of date when the source adds new entries, and the source tables are already sortable in multiple ways. Thus a list here would add nothing that the source doesn't do, not even summarize stuff in a new, meaningful way. --[[User:Xymph|Xymph]] ([[User talk:Xymph|talk]]) 11:16, 26 February 2022 (CST)

:The order isn't random, I believe it's meant to be in chronological order (but actually isn't, seeing as the first wad to be reviewed was Heroes for instance). Otherwise I agree, I don't see a reason to list all the reviews here when they're already linked in the wad pages.

Definitely go for it --BuildCat (talk) 23:37, 28 October 2019 (CDT)
Looks appropriate indeed. --Xymph (talk) 08:31, 29 October 2019 (CDT)
