Quizzes and Puzzles/Crosswords

[DGR]

Questions on crosswords can appear under either the main section Quizzes and Puzzles or the sub-section Crosswords. Most people appear to use the main section, but some use the sub-section and members are forced to look under both headings. Would it be a good idea to dispense with the sub-section and have all crossword related questions directly under the main heading Quizzes and Puzzles?

This is a very old chestnut ..... fiercely debated when the 'crossword' subsection was first introduced .... look back into the archives - there is a lot of history on this subject .....

It's a shambles caused by an over-zealous AbEd at the time of the change - who wouldn't listen to the almost unanimous view of the abers that a subsection was not needed .....crossword questions far outnumber the rest, yet crosswords was consigned to a subsection ....

This is also linked to the old debate as to whether the heading (e.g. Quizzes and Puzzles) should be just that, a heading.

Existing abers at the time of change largely voted not to use the subsection 'crossword' ---

Many thanks for the background information. I am sure many overlook the need to look under both. I wonder if the current editor might like to reconsider

I agree DGR, as athenae says it's an old chesnut - Maybe it's time to resurrect this issue again and see if the present AB Ed will do someting about it. We can but hope.

"Food & Drink" is even worse: you can post a question into the main heading and also in the sub-sections "Food" and "Drinks" !
