Talk:Town

Question: Per definitiopn, is Yak's Bend a city or an outpost? I know it doesn't have the city icon on the map, but looking at the infrastructure, it seems to meet the requirements for being considered a city. The same question goes for Ember Light Camp. Plus ... this would make sense such that every region has a capital city. According the current list there is no city in the Northern Shiverpeaks or on the Ring of Fire islands. --Tetris L 04:54, 15 Jul 2005 (EST)
 * I think some criteria will need to be used to distingish the two...maybe an "city " has to have traders, not just merchants, collectors and storage?--Jackel 06:58, 15 Jul 2005 (EST)
 * I think it's easiest to just say that if it has a city icon it's a city. 07:16, 15 Jul 2005 (EST)

Breakup time
I think this article needs to be broken into city outpost and mission location or mission outpost. --Karlos 17:27, 14 Oct 2005 (EST)
 * How about this: We split up this article into 3 sub-articles, as you requested. But we include (in the wiki meaning of the word) all 3 articles in the article town. The article town would then look pretty much the same as this article looks now, having all the info in 1 place, but we would also have the separate articles. --Tetris L 17:39, 14 Oct 2005 (EST)
 * Why? I am not opposed having an article about town that says a town is either A, B or C and a nice small table that highlights the differences. Then in A, B and C we define fully what A is and what B is and what C is. No need to have an article fully repeat another article. I think that just says one of them is useless. --Karlos 20:10, 14 Oct 2005 (EST)
 * Reviving old issue, I think if the three components are to be in the same article, it should be in the town, not city, article. So we either go with Tetris L's suggestion (in which case the City article would be much smaller than it is now, so the resulting town article wouldn't look like the resulting city article, if that addresses Karlos' concern), or have city, outpost, and mission location all redirect to town.  It feels silly to have an article on Town that points to city and outpost when outpost simply redirects to city (and it's also odd that there's no link for mission location, even though it would end up redirection to city which is also silly). -PanSola 09:59, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
