What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

Sometimes, I find I only want really want to make Characters and Timeline events for a world, and that's really all it needs for now, but the presence of all the article types and empty boxes I don't plan to fill can cause a bit of, unnecessary stress  

How does this feature request address the current situation?

By giving options, per world, to choose to entirely remove certain features, article types, and sometimes detailed boxes from your dashboard and article editor, it could allows you to focus on the areas that you need to, without quickly falling into infinite rabbitholes of detail or just find your world really disorganized and being overwhelmed by the choice of features.  

What are other uses for this feature request?

overall, when building a more minimal world, the dashboard would feel less overwhelming and cluttered for what one is trying to do.

The Team's Response

First, thank you for your feedback here - I am sorry to hear that you are stressed. To clarify, you can "remove features" already - whether it be RPG tools, Writer tools, or Worldbuilding tools. You can disable these by going under your account's "features" page under your profile icon.   Now, while this suggestion has been declined, I do have some good news. This is yet another feature we plan on implementing into the new UI/UX update to the system. In this new interface, you can choose which features will be in front of you while you create.

    Really don't think this is useful or necessary to be honest.

    I understand where you're coming from, and I do think some type of Dashboard customization would be neat to have. But if this suggestion was implemented I can see it causing all kinds of problems, like people having constant questions about turning templates off and on from their worlds, or even boxes within a template like you mentioned. Not to mention the technical issues or headaches it might cause.
