Summarizing sections edit
When I wrote WP:RECEPTION the best advice I got was to try to keep it to a single screenful. There are two long examples at that page, but someone said that very few people will scroll down, and I'm sure that's correct, so I collapsed them. If there's only one screenful to read you have at least a decent chance people will read the whole thing. So what I'd suggest is that you put in {{cot}} and {{cob}} boxes to collapse each section, with one or two sentences above each collapsed section to give the most important information. For "1. Well-written" for example you might do this (and I'm sure my summary could be improved).
Well-written: read the article carefully and make a list of places where it is hard to read, doesn't make sense, or is too technical. It must meet Wikipedia's style requirements: it should have a lead that summarizes the article, correct headings and layout, and should meet our requirements for writing about fiction. It should not read like a puff piece, and where appropriate should be written as prose rather than in list form.

- I've added collapse templates to the page. It looks a lot cleaner, though it does feel strange collapsing what's essentially the most important part of the guide. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 16:07, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
