I really think See Also and External Links should be at the very end. That entire bottom part of the page is for taking people elsewhere, thats where sequence tables, link menus and categories are. Sticking them higher up could put them right in the middle of an article (if you had more than 1 video), so I'd leave them right at the end, like they are on every other page on this site. Also, after seeing how you did the links, I think removing the brackets from the website is probably better - just add a dash instead - like this - just before. | I really think See Also and External Links should be at the very end.

With the subpages, the way you've done it is perfect - give them a header so that they're easily found. However, if you have loads (like [[GTA IV]]), put them all in one section. As for the brief, it's mostly right, but I'm not sure whether it reads too much like instructions. Try making it sound more like a story, as if it was a paragraph in a book. Don't change it to past tense though. Not sure how I would do it, but I'm being deliberately picky because this ''is'' meant to be perfect.

:That's fine. You're right, we can't settle for less than perfect if we're calling something perfect. I just realized why external links should be left to the end and have moved them, and changed them to the format you just mentioned. | :That's fine.

Now I think I will give Gboyers a chance to give his thoughts about your suggestions before I actually start editing.

EDIT: I just realized that I didn't answer your last question. I don't know exactly what other mission articles you’re referring to (other games/all/etc) as you said "if this is adopted", meaning you know that we're thinking about ''adopting it'', but anyway... We could make a perfect character article, a perfect game article etc. It will never get to the point where every mission article is identical. The idea of this article is just a guide. If this is a perfect mission article, then other mission articles should aim to be like this as a long term goal. That's really not my decision, but I would think that we should try to keep the whole wiki consistent, instead of changing article format game to game. Think of it as policy, policy is different to rules. We should AIM to follow policy, but it's not necessarily ''do this like this''. Once again though, I will let Gboyers reply to this hopefully with a better (yes/no) answer.

Gboyers, is what I did what you meant by making a new section for stocking up on weapons, or did you want a section before the walkthrough?

:Now that I've taken a break from this page, I can see your point on most of those. I did everything you said except merge the brief and walkthrough. '''[[User:Biggest gta fan ever|Biggest GTA Fan Ever]]<sup>''[[User talk:Biggest gta fan ever|Talk]]''</sup>''' 02:24, 31 December 2008 (UTC) | |||
