Talk:Hasbro Q&A/October-November 2008

Is there a way to have the questions and answers on the same page? The current layout draws in the reader with these interesting questions, but makes it extremely aggravating and time consuming to try and get to the answers. For example, I clicked on the 16bit answers link, and it takes me to the main page of the site, which I've never heard of before much less been do. I have no idea where on this site the answers are kept, and I don't feel like clicking around for 20 minutes looking for them. Why not just post the answers directly beneath each question?

If we post other sites' answers, we are technically stealing content and traffic from them.--Rosicrucian^Talk 11:44, 15 June 2009 (EDT)

Not touching the main matter, since I've already stated my thoughts on it, but her complaint about being lost clicking around trying to find the answers I think brings up at least one good point. We should always have direct deep links to where the answers are on each site instead of making people have to search through a site. (Since even when you are familiar with a site it can be hard to find a single exact forum or news post, especially if its old.) --Jeysie 12:22, 15 June 2009 (EDT)

On the other hand, we certainly can (and should, and do) reference these answers, when relevant, on the appropriate pages. So, if TransformersRule.com asks 'why does G1 Scourge have a beard', and Hasbro says 'he keeps extra sensors in there', we'd have every reason to add that as a trivia note to Scourge's page, along with a reference to the specific area on TransformersRule.com. So, the question-and-answer as content, yes, we should probably not 'steal', but the answers themselves should be integrated into the wiki. --Jimsorenson 12:29, 15 June 2009 (EDT)
