| − | I 100% agree the current name is over-long, making it bulky and awkward for the purposes of linking. However, I don't see this becoming an all-encompassing "Money making guide", as that would invite coverage of any/all avenues that fall under that broad umbrella - animal husbandry, Crafting/Construction, optimizing slave trade, manipulating enemies to raid for best loot profit, etc. etc. And that point brings up the suggestion to ''standardize'' an "umbrella"-type of article title. In DF we had hundreds of schematics, large or small, for various designs - bedrooms, traps, defenses, dining halls, overall base optimization, smithies, you name it - each its own article with clever but non-standard names, scattered all over the site. So we collected them into diff rough umbrella categories and adopted a format where a page would be titled "Design: X", so that 1) editors know where to add similar content, 2) editors could name future pages without needing to re-invent the wheel, and 3) readers could find what they are looking for faster (once they see the pattern). So, here... maybe "'''Economics: X'''" (Here: "Economics: Cash Crops")? The umbrella term "Economics" is not an in-game term, so it's available to be adopted by RW-Wiki as a term for this sort of discussion and to leave the topic open to expansion beyond "money making" (and there are other pages like this out there). And/or, to start any/every reader-written guide with that word: "'''Guide'''". | + | I 100% agree the current name is over-long, making it bulky and awkward for the purposes of linking.
