Train cars sub-menu

Would it be possible to make changes to the menu? Something akin to this? The technical side of things starts to become more writen and its a bit hard to get to those articles.

Hi Nepster, thanks for the suggestion. I've added a Train cars sub-menu under TV series that links to the suggested cars and a few more.

If the menu update doesn't show up on a page, you may need to do a hard refresh (ctrl+F5 for most Windows browsers, and shift+Reload for Safari or cmd+shift+R for other browsers on mac) to clear the cache.

Overhaul

Another overhaul is long overdue, train-cars section should be removed as there are too many cars to be included, characters should be unified, not divided into seasons and Sean Bean/Joseph Wilford should be included in the cast. New category for the trains would be welcomed, as therer are actually two of them now and "More" category should include "Items" category, instead of listing all of the items above, as this page is non-editable so adding any new items seems pointless as nobody can ever reach them using hyperlinks.

Thanks for the suggestions, Nepster. I've added Sean Bean to the cast and Joseph Wilford to the characters, they both deserve to be listed. It's okay if not all the train cars can fit in the navigation; we can still list the most prominent cars and it's useful for readers, and they can always follow the category link for more. User research shows that it is useful to keep the division between the different adaptations, so the separate list of characters between the different versions will remain separate.

That still doesn't solve the issue of Big Alice and snowpiercer being under "Others", and the fact that some cars listed are completely irelevant, like the "Sky Lounge", while others like the "Tail Car" should now get the prominence, thanks to the show. Kronole and acess chip are no longer the only items in the show, so there should either be category for them "Items" or they should all be listed. Kronole was mentioned few times and plays little to none role now, while the weather balloons are now in prominence NepsterCZ (talk) 13:51, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for clarifying, those are all fair points and I've made some additional updates. A new sub-menu for the trains lists both Snowpiercer and Big Alice, a few of the more prominent cars, and a link to the Cars category to see more. The More sub-menu is also updated and now includes a link to the Items category. – KylaraE <staff /> (talk) 20:26, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
