h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

If an Entry needs to be split and updated in an irrevocably intertwined improvement combo, how would one go about doing that? The update forum doesn't describe such a process, but it's not technically making any new Entries from sratch.

If both of the new entries will still be mostly material from the original Edited Guide entry, then I would go through the Update Forum.

If both of the new entries will be mostly new material, then I would submit them, individually, to Peer Review -- and let people know in the PR thread that the entries go together and that they are intended to replace current EG entry X.

If one is mostly new material, and one is mostly material from the original, then I'd do them one at a time -- first take the latter to the Update Forum, and when that was done, take the new one to PR.

If you are splitting an existing entry, one of the parts will replace the existing entry and have the same page number. The other part will get a new page number. You should use the Search engine to track down any links to the page number of the original entry in other Edited Entries. Then you should decide for each whether it should be modified to point to the new page or left pointing at the original page.
