Civilization Wiki

I'm a bit torn on how to handle building yield types. I'm unsure whether it's better to use "Culture Culture Building Building" or "Culture Building Building".

  • "Culture Culture Building Building" is more visually engaging. The color coding and iconography make it immediately clear what type of building is being discussed and which yield it affects.
  • On the other hand, "Culture Building Building" looks cleaner, as I’m not a big fan of placing two icons with different links right next to each other. Additionally, it’s arguably more semantically accurate — since we’re talking about a type of building, not the yield itself.

That said, I prioritize readability and engagement, since the wiki's purpose is ultimately to communicate information as clearly and efficiently as possible. So my current approach is:

  • Use "Culture Culture Building Building" in infoboxes and pages like Social Policies, where the yield connection is central and immediate understanding is key.
  • Use Culture Building Building in other larger articles, where the yield is less of a focal point and readability benefits from a cleaner look.

I acknowledge this isn't a fully consistent policy, so Let me know if anyone approves, disapproves, or has a better approach — I'll make any necessary adjustments.
