I know they're all listed on the Aspects page, but shouldn't each aspect have its own page? There are a few Thaumcraft articles where I wish I could link to just the specific aspects such as describing what you need to research it, and we could put a full list of aspect contain materials if they each had their own page.

According to Azanor on this page here, Thaumcraft 3's aspects will be undergoing some heavy tweaking. Obviously nothing's set in stone, nor is it a horrific issue to have outmoded pages on the wiki, but there's so much other stuff to be documented--perhaps a feature that is tentative at best should be given time for tweaking before documentation?

 

That's just my guess/logic. I'm unaware of any official reason, so you're probably free to make a few. The worst that can happen is page deletion, after all.

I would have to lean towards holding off on creating a page for each aspect and listing every item that contains said aspect until after the mod has been finalized. Otherwise it'll be a hellish ordeal for someone to have to change that list to whatever Thaumcraft is being changed to.

Well at the bottom there he says this in the update section.

 

"After giving things some thought I have decided not to cull the aspect list to less than 24 or so different aspects. I'm still deciding if I'm just going cut off the dead wood (quite literally - there are 5 plant related aspects) or completely reorganize the aspect breakdown."

 

But I get your point. Still for as important a mod as Thaumcraft I feel the wiki could do better at organizing its information, or at least cross linking (its annoying when I'm at the research by aspects page and clicking on the aspects picture just gives me the image file ).

I disagree, there aren't that many aspects and a change like removal or renaming of certain aspects isn't too much of a bother.

Which is why I feel that they should get their own pages now and bother with the changes when they happen.
