So far you're the only one on the "Age of Dusk" page with a named account, so is there any explanation for why the various bits on there are being removed and given their own completely unrelated pages? If you're worried about the page itself getting too large, making separate pages is a terrible idea as you should just collapse that section of the page (ask if you're not sure how to do it) and the way you're connecting the pages right now is horrible, using externally written links rather than internal ones. If there's no reason for why the pages were created besides bloat I'll gladly collapse the page and add delete tags on the other pages for you. -- Triacom (talk) 07:56, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

I'd really appreciate that, I've been learning how to do this on the fly, and wasn't able to add anything else after I got to Section 39.
Wasn't able to? Do you mean the page became too large and it gave you an error? Because I don't think that I've ever heard of that happening. -- Triacom (talk) 09:12, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
Well it seems I was able to do it just fine, so the story has now been appropriately collapsed without any content loss that I'm aware of. -- Triacom (talk) 10:02, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
I've just finished redirecting all of the additional pages onto the main story page, and hopefully everything can stay there. -- Triacom (talk) 10:35, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

There is a very good chance my internet just screwed up on me mid edit last night. Thanks, I had no clue how to that. Could you direct me to a tutorial or something? There's still at least 14 more sections to add, and I don't think OP has finished writing either.

Wikifag has some examples on their page, the gist of those collapsible sections is that the first div entry creates the box where everything will be collapsed, the second div entry is sometime after the first, and everything below it will be hidden by default, but everything above the second but below the first will be visible (use it to make a summary of sorts). You will need to close both divs at the bottom of the collapsible section. Here's an example:
This is the text above the second div but below the first, it is not collapsible and should be used to summarize.
This is the text below the second div, if you look at it in the edit page, you will see how to close divs below this line of text.


Just experiment on various pages with the "show preview" button so you know what you're going to get. -- Triacom (talk) 20:42, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
I'll do that, but I'm getting this page whenever I try to add another section

What do you recommend I do? I was thinking about cutting down the page to 35 sections, then making and linking another with the rest of the em on it.
You can still add it, just refresh the page until it accepts it, at least that's what worked for me, and I added two more sections (and immediately undid them) to prove it. -- Triacom (talk) 04:07, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
If you want the process to go a little smoother, then have it all in a notepad, and only add it once everything looks how you want it to in the notepad, that way you don't need to keep getting errors across multiple sections, it'll just be one large upload. If you keep getting issues, then that's probably with your browser more than anything else. -- Triacom (talk) 04:08, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
