::Walls of text is what talk pages are for, I'd say. The amount of data seemingly grows there (because it's a series of Q&A iterations), but after the talk is "done" it can be annealed/condensed into a new version of the page itself, or an even more digest/compact document that includes only the most important/vital points. I'll illustrate with another iteration of TNZ and then we'll see about GUT/i2i --[[User:Geyser|geyser]] ([[User talk:Geyser|talk]]) 23:47, 9 June 2020 (CEST)

::From what I recall, Guido and I wanted to implement graphs on this wiki, 10+ years ago, to collaborate on story nodes. It didn't go past the wishful thinking stage -- either because the wikified graphs sucked, or because graphs weren't too convenient to collaborate on in general. Guido's graph was his own work, although he incorporated some collective ideas of course. Maybe these days there are more elaborate collaborative tools, à la Google Docs but with flowcharts -- probably not wiki powered, though. If we were an actual studio, we'd have a big wall/whiteboard for that ^_^ --[[User:Geyser|geyser]] ([[User talk:Geyser|talk]]) 23:47, 9 June 2020 (CEST)

::In the wiki context, I thought interlinked "nodes" could work fine (like Oni2:Node0, Oni2:Node1, etc), but only if we have some special wiki plugin that analyzes links in a given namespace and creates a chart from them, like [https://flowchartwiki.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Special_CheckFchw.html FlowChartWiki] -- it is not very appealing visually, so probably not a good idea. --[[User:Geyser|geyser]] ([[User talk:Geyser|talk]]) 23:47, 9 June 2020 (CEST)

::I think if we're trying to agree on a common denominator, then such a graph shouldn't really aim to include lots of conflicting events from different theories. There will be ''some'' variants at some point, but mostly we should see a "core graph" that everyone agrees on, and ideally the consensus will grow, with differences only in minor details. --[[User:Geyser|geyser]] ([[User talk:Geyser|talk]]) 23:47, 9 June 2020 (CEST)
