The Mass Effect 2 Guide, only, has the anomalous quality of containing the actual detailed walkthrough of the game's final battle within the ME2 Guide -- and within the ME2 Guide is the only place this information can be found. Moving this information to a separate "Mass Effect 2: Final Battle" walkthrough article will first of all streamline the ME2 Guide itself, making it more like the other two guides in a positive way.

Since this is mostly a one-mission/one-guide reorganization of where information goes, I might normally have opened a Projects Forum item for something like this rather than here in Policy. BUT, during the last round of ME2 Guide cleanups I was told by an admin at the time that the final battle could not have its own article because of policy, since it didn't have a separate journal entry. I haven't been able to find the specific policy disallowing such an article, but certainly it has at least been standard practice that mission/assignment walkthroughs are named based on their journal entry.

In any event, I'm proposing this because I think it would (a) improve the organization of the ME2 Guide, (b) improve the organization of the walkthrough text for the final battle, and (c) improve the discoverability of the final battle article. The policy proposal is narrowly tailored to apply only in this one case, a band-aid for a fairly sticky-outy sore thumb situation, so it does not e.g. open the door to willy-nilly creation of extra articles, nor the renaming of mission/assignment articles to things other than their journal entry names. It's simply a one-time patch for a place where our normal organizational rules aren't a perfect fit for the way the game got organized.

Thanks for your time reading this; hopefully I can have your support. Cattlesquat (talk) 21:03, September 12, 2013 (UTC)
