About the format of collaborator pages[]

So some pages like Triple-Q use a "See also" section with a link to the category of rips (like for old Memes articles). Some others have a "Rips" section with a "See also" template redirecting to the category. Which one should we use?

I think the "Rips" section with the "See also" template makes more sense, since most Rip sections don't have enough content to justify putting the link into another section. For "Triple-Q" (and those like it), a "See also" template under the "Rips" section should also serve to highlight the category without taking up too much space. ~ironwestie (talk to me)(contribs) 15:25, June 24, 2017 (UTC)
Yes, that makes sense. Also, we'll have less sections at the end and more pages with a rip section (which is definitely needed). It's probably better to apply this to all the memes/characters page too then since it also have "Rips" and "See also: Category". I'll update the Manual of Style (if I'm motivated...) since there is a lot of new changes to cover.
What about the "Playlist" section. Do you like it as it is or we should move the playlist link elsewhere?
Note: the reason why the "See also" template isn't automatically indented is because of special cases like in Infoboxes when it's better without indent. So for now you have to add the indent yourself. I'll try to automatically indent and use a "noindent" parameter instead. --Merrygoroundoflife (talk) 10:01, June 25, 2017 (UTC)
Great! For the playlist section, I would actually prefer a "see also" or "external links" link instead of a "Playlist" link. Most contributors do not have a list of their contributions, and devoting an entire section to one link might not be space-efficient. There shouldn't be any playlists by other people of a collaborator's rips; there's too much uncertainty and potential for trolling involved. ~ironwestie (talk to me)(contribs) 22:44, June 25, 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for your opinion! "Playlist" links will be in an external links section, then. I'll just make sure we advice to put playlist links in the "External links" in the "Manual of Style". Merrygoroundoflife (talk) 17:50, July 1, 2017 (UTC)
