Talk:Skill details

Why a simple reverse? As it is, the article is incomplete and inaccurate, many pieces of info are redundant, don't fit the article's scope or are flat wrong. Roland of Gilead 17:46, 26 Jul 2005 (EST)


 * I explain the reverse on another page (Talk:Skills I think). This page serves only as an explanation for those details shown in the Skill Box on skill pages. If more detailed information exists on other pages then feel free to link to those pages. If the information here is wrong by all means correct it, but this page is only supposed to serve as a guide for someone reading a skill page who is unsure of a term inside the box. 21:05, 26 Jul 2005 (EST)


 * Even though I'm just replying to myself I feel like I'm on a roll, so here we go! The changes made to the Skills page are good, and I'm all for many of those changed being made to the Skill details page, but merging the two pages and making Skill details a redirect is, in my opinion, a bad idea; the sections "Learning Skills", "Unlocking Skills, "Equipping Skills", "Using Skills" and "A general Skill Timeline" are relevant to skills in general and the information is very useful, but Skill details serves a different purpose. It just reminds people what is meant by upkeep etc. 21:24, 26 Jul 2005 (EST)


 * I understand and am ok with the purpose of Skill Details, i.e. providing details on the Skill properties. However, a link to Skills would do exactly the same as a link to Skill Details, so why store and maintain 2 pages if 1 does the job? If something relevant changes or has to be added, we would have to modify 2 pages each time. This breeds de-sync and one article lagging behind the other. Plus, if we merged the two, we would have all info on Skills on exactly one page so that viewers dont have to go to Skill Details first, then over to Skills, in which they will see the same content again. Not very professional if you ask me. It just makes no sense to keep two pages, if one is just a true subset of the other.
 * Bottom line is, I still am in favour of replacing the content of Skill Details with a redirect to Skill. Maybe I have made a better case this time than when just doing it.
 * Oh yeah, by the way: You wrote If the information here is wrong by all means correct it
 * Well I did as you know, but for some reason it was totally reversed, throwing out the good with the allegedly bad ;) I just don't feel like doing the same work again, even if it involves just copy&paste Roland of Gilead 01:50, 27 Jul 2005 (EST)
