Candidates for merging/moving/mainspacing/splitting discussion thread

[Werdnae]

For #2, this was made recently.

Ughh...another exceptionally complete article made in the userspace? We don't want that to happen anymore. Stop doing that.

[Maverick Nate]

Okay, so the consensus is removing Orre and TCG islands from the template, and having it for Ranger only, yes? Speak now if you don't agree. If there is no opposition, It'll be modified and moved.

[MAGNEDETH]

theres certainly enough characters form the Ranger games alone to constitute its own template.

I imagine that some of these: User:MisterE13/Template:NPCSide - Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia might do the trick?

I like them, but I don't think the "see also" and show/hide method is necessary because there are so few. Just display all regions by default, and the character's name will go bold when on their page.

NEW DISCUSSION TOPICS!!!

1) Game move errors. This page seems ready for the mainspace. Even if it may be not complete, mainspacing it is the first step towards creating awareness about it.
2) Mr. Psychic. Meh. I feel a merge is in order. The character really isn't that notable.
3) Vermillion Harbor Same with Mr. Psychic. It doesn't really have that much of a purpose except for that it had to exist for the boats. A merge seems appropriate.

[MisterE13]

I am in full agreement with the first two (though I do have a real soft spot for Mr. Psychic)

Though not as strong as my feelings for the others, I have no objections to merging the Harbour if thats consensus.

[Pokemaster97]

1) Sure, I see no problems with mainspacing it.
2) Not sure about this one yet I guess it can be merged. Nothing on this page that can't be combined.
3)I agree, this one should be merged as well.

[SnorlaxMonster]

1) Can I just request we address this before we move it? However, I do support its mainspacing.

2) I'm pretty sure anyone who's read the talk page knows that my opinion on this is to delete it. I don't feel it is necessary to call it a merge since the only thing that isn't on Saffron City's page already is the images of his house. Either way, it has the same outcome.

3) The save location is simply called "S.S. Anne" in Gen I/III (the strip that leads onto the ship and the part that contains the truck) or "Vermilion City". We don't have or need an article on "Olivine Harbor", so I don't see it as necessary. However, suspect that it may have been created due to its role in Adventures; apparently 6 rounds took place there. Also, Pokémon Pinball distinguishes between the town and seaside, and does this for no other location. If someone who reads Adventures wants to argue to keep it separate, please do so. However, I personally think Vermilion City is the place that info belongs.

1. Major disagree - Title says they're errors & then the article says that they might not be errors, we should not have contradicting info in our articles & article titles. Just because a Pokémon knows a move it doesn't learn under normal means, doesn't mean it's an error. In that was the case, most events are "errors" & multiple Dream World Pokémon are also "errors". I really can't stand behind this article.
2. Drop any relevant information back into Saffron & get rid of the Mr. Psychic article. Despite being in four generations, all he does of reasonable note is give out the Psychic TM. Not enough to warrant his own article, IMO.
3. Entirely fine with merging the harbour into the city.

I personally think the article has a lot of interesting information that should be noted on the wiki somehow. Do you have any other suggestions for the article that will make it easier for you to agree with it? You have already provided a good point.

I'm not really sure if they should be considered "errors" either, along with their anime and manga counterparts. I guess we could call them "move anomalies". But as long as the anime and manga ones continue to include "errors" in their titles, I stand by the title of "game move errors".

I always thought they should be called inconsistencies instead.

I'd prefer not "inconstancies" because it implies they are inconsistent within the anime/manga, not that they are inconsistent with the games. "Pokémon with impossible moves in the anime/manga/games" or "Move anomalies in the anime/manga/games" would be my two preferences.
