Talk:Staging area

Is this an official term? We haven't used it anywhere in this wiki, as far as I'm aware. --Tetris L 02:36, 9 Oct 2005 (EST)

 * I actually think it's offical, I believe town means outpost OR mission location. White outpost means just outpost but not a mission location. I have no recollection where I got that from. Don't force me to go look it up, please. :) --Karlos 15:24, 9 Oct 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)
 * I think there is a general consensus here to split up into 3 articles. What we do after then is probably a further cause for debate, but I have made a start in moving to our new model (possibly some further cleanup is needed though?) Kidburla 06:38, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
