Forum:MOS:Clusters slight redesign

so basically, cluster articles are empty save for bare-bones enumeration of the systems in them and the occasional name trivia entry or so. there's actually a wealth of information that can be said about them, but requires a nontrivial bit of lore reading and astute observation.


 * mass relay lanes
 * see the red lines to and from clusters when you look at the games' Galaxy Maps? most of the time they line up with written lore. all clusters are linked by mass relays to one another anyway, so the information can be truly standardized across all pages.


 * the question is which is preferred, prose style or bulletpoint style:

== Mass Relay Connections == *bulletpoint items for clusters directly connected to the subject only (may change depending on the game, so a legend marker like that on the location template ideally required)


 * distilled summary from planet description blurbs and other legit sources
 * a cluster usually has an overall disposition based on what's written on its planets. see the Silean Nebula for a general idea. for information on how not to make a writeup, it should be pretty obvious but reiterated here nonetheless:
 * no original research, no speculation. only what can be reasonably derived from the sources - no leaps of logic, etc.


 * trivia segregation and placement
 * given that we can actually write in-universe data about most clusters, it's only fitting we segregate the out-of-universe trivia items. the question is where: at the bottom, after everything else, or still at the top, before locations.
