I also agree, "deep periphery" powers do not need to be placed on [[The Periphery]] page and a disclaimer at the beginning of this article would be a good idea. − ::::'''HOWEVER''', a disclaimer does not improve the ease of navigation to the [[Deep Periphery]] which really is the core of my argument. Without searching explicitly for the [[Deep Periphery]], the current navigation is convoluted, and the profile of this region of space is almost non-existent. One does not have to follow the link from the [[Inner Sphere]] page to get to [[The Periphery]], no? − ::::The "deep periphery" should be more visible than it is now. The background for BattleTech and MechWarrior is more open, and there are many unknowns (and many plot hooks) within this region of space. For the interim, I feel that placing links to the [[Deep Periphery]] page and to major deep periphery realms is a ''temporary'' compromise. − ::::Could we simply add a link to [[Deep Periphery]] to the main page? I can write that on the test page. Adding such a link would satisfy the question of profile. Also, increasing the ease of navigation would abate the need to place links to deep periphery realms on the [[Periphery]] page. Thoughts?--[[User:S.gage|S.gage]] 11:41 6 May 2009 (EDT) ==Wording== ==Wording==
