1/2/3: Kray tackled this better than I likely can. Individual entities in stories have actual meaning, and the dead space between "critical" locations also becomes meaningful. Again, see Kray's justifications for that. If there aren't any huge changes to your fiction by downsizing, why not downsize? I'd be willing to help you out, too.

1&2: Aren't relevant to you? That's right.

3: Congratulations.

4: You misunderstand. Let's say we have 50 systems. Let's say, the Sius system has access to the Vitebsk, Myibor, and Aphbrae systems via gates, and the Paveln'iyy system via a jump hole. There will be four Connection entries at the bottom of the article. However, since every system is connected, you will be able to access every system article by clicking on all the system connection links. Example, Vitebsk is connected to Chornot, but Sius isn't. To get to Chornot from Sius, I'd click on the Vitebsk link on Sius, then the Chornot link on Vitebsk. See what I mean?

5: If your race's language isn't based on Latin/romantic grammar structure or vocabulary, you're golden and this doesn't apply.

5(?): Congratulations 2.0

6: Congratulations 3.0 electric boogaloo

7: I don't know what 7 is since I used bullets but you seem to be agreeing with me so congratulations.

8: Of course different areas will have more focus. Sius with its many planets and stations will be more fleshed out than a borderworld way-system with a single charred dust rock and a shipping outpost.

9: Congratulations 4.0

10: explain. I don't understand this.

12: Well, you can have your own separate gate/hole local network to be detached from EIT/Karalian/other stuff (maybe with one hole connection spanning a large distance if you want to keep open a possibility). If not, you can just be recluses and shut down your gate ends and seal off your holes to avoid contact, but still maintain a single, master network.

Mini-purge plan: OK. Not HUGELY important to be, but I think if it's useless, we can get rid of that, but uselessness can be decided on a case-by-case basis. As long as nothing links to archives except some master archive page, I see no issue.
