Talk:Niles Cage
|
Proposed Merge It has been proposed that Niles Cage (The Harbor) and Niles Cage (Barrel's Bottom) be merged into a single topic here on Niles Cage. Please discuss it here on the talk page. Consensus (or lack of objection) will result in a merge on Friday, November 7, 2014.

Making a single page was indeed my first instinct.
Soon enough, after adding both Harbor-related info and 3BC-related info, I watched the page and told myself "this is not what I'd like to see as a user, this is too clumsy, too cluttered".
Then I imagined what it would look like in a (far) future version of User:Aldyron/Diagnostics/Items consistency/Pages using Template NPC (a user-friendly one, not this editor-friendly version).
I also thought about other NPCs and monsters we encounter in different times of their life (or undeath).
And about some NPCs that we later encounter as monsters or vice versa.
Last (and, for once, least), the two different pictures.
Any one of those points by itself was not sufficient to make my mind, but when putting all of them together, in the end, as a user, I preferred to have two separate pages.
That said, I certainly won't start World War III over a merge. :-) Aldyron (Contributions • Message) 12:11, November 6, 2014 (EST)
- I've created what a merged version should probably look like for the most part (both images are there if you mouse over the locations). ShoeMaker (Contributions • Message) 13:22, November 6, 2014 (EST)
- Take a look as well how I handled Jeets Shimis and Talbron Tewn pages about multiple locations. Keep their biography in chronological order (lower level quests comes first) and make sections for specifics.
- Fast forward a couple of years, and HEY! Technical 13...I like what you did to this page today. I am going do this while I am passing through the NPC alphabet and doing the location fix...or at least I will try. This is neat and tidy, has some color, and still includes everything. ⇒ meander (Contribs • Message • Email) 18:49, August 31, 2018 (EDT)
