Dieter: removal of Index (2022-12-15 18:19) [#12178]

In general a big fan of Hnishy's work, I have undone the latest change on this page because it broke the index and reference to many pages.

If we need to replace the listing index with more user friendly one, I'm ok with that but I thought simply removing most of the references was too bold a move.

Happy to discuss!

It's impossible to find the shape you're looking for because this page has only names such as "L+1", "walkie talkie" or "hovercraft". Some visual help is needed. We already have good pages with diagrams, Corner Shapes and Side Shapes. Or add thumbnails on this page? Doing so will make it still longer.

Adding thumbnails is great idea (i dont know how to do it, my wiki managing is pretty poor). I remember once i was searching for some problem which i know was from Dosaku game - without a thumbnail only thing i could do was to search one by one - with thumbnail it was almost easy!

Thanks to both hnishy and Dieter for improving the library!

My take on this: I don't like the modern trend of "pictures on everything". A long list of thumbnails requires a lot of scrolling, whereas text lets you see a lot more items on a single screen (assuming you actually know what the text means). I think where we've landed, with the text index still there, but a link to a page of pictures for those who prefer that style, is a good solution.
