Spur pages discussion

1) Let's agree on what spur pages we should have to start off: photos? History? Geology? Additional info? Current conditions? 2) Should any spur page links be included in our hike and destination templates? Jeffstatt 18:24, 2 January 2007 (MST)

I think just about anything is game for different pages, but the only one that could be pretty much of a standard is the Trail Log. Everything else, history, geology, you name it, will be really context driven. Who wants to wade through the Geology of an old growth forest?

1. I wrote a guide that covers spur pages. Maybe we could take the discussion there. 2. I don't think they should. Spur pages only need to be added when they become neccessary. Martell 20:32, 2 January 2007 (MST)

I think there are a myriad of things that could be fun spur pages, but they're really going to be specific to the hike. I can see

• Species of flowers

• Species of trees
• Effects of forest fire
• Abandoned railroads
• Lava Flows
• Volcanoes
• Landslides
• Endangered animals
• Good fishing techniques
• etc etc etc

As far as I'm concerned, whenever someone has some special knowledge that realtes to a certain hike, bingo! Spur page.

Steve, I agree with you on this. Maybe we can list these out on the Spur guideline page in order to spur some ideas for people... so to speak. haha. Martell 22:57, 3 January 2007 (MST)
