Talk:Hammer

Likewise, I would like to note that the list of hammers should go. --Karlos 20:37, 16 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * I'd agree if the Category:Hammers list was complete. But it isn't. As long as it isn't complete, the list shows us which ones are missing. --Tetris L 20:50, 16 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * lol to what end? We list a "Shining Maul"... What is it? Tough luck. :) They're just red links. There are two scenarios: 1) The user saw the item and wants to read about it. In this case he already knows it's a hammer. Or, the user never heard of the item and we list it, he is curious, but we have no info or picture. Then again, it is good for us to know what we are missing. --Karlos 21:28, 16 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * 1. The fact that an article is currently blank should never be a reason not to link to it. Quite the opposite. "Wanted Pages" are there to fill them in, not to tiptoe around them. ;) --Tetris L 21:37, 16 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * 2. I have to say that I hate the category listings with a passion. In most cases the alphabetic structure doesn't suit. You have no control if the listing is complete or contains errors. In most cases you have no explanation or comments. I prefer a list in an article any time. Those lists require more maintenance, but you've got full control over content and design. --Tetris L 21:37, 16 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * Aha! Therein lies the problem! :) I know that you do not like categories with a passion. I don't like them nor do I hate them. The point though, is that there has been a conscious decision made on this wiki that we will use categories, that we will not list items under their main article but in their category, that we will not have redundancy. Those are the things I am hoping we enforce. If we were doing this wiki my way we'd have a whole different look altogether! >:) There would be no articles on mesmers for starters! :)
 * You do have a point about us listing what we need to fill out. I have acknowledged that. --Karlos 21:57, 16 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * I shall be a rebel against that conscious decision!! I demand that we reconsider. You can't shut me down! Free speech!Nazi admins! ;) --Tetris L 22:02, 16 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * I am no admin, and you were around when most of these decisions were made. You were around even before me. :) --Karlos 22:07, 16 Sep 2005 (EST)
