Talk:Emotes

Strictly speaking, commands like /age, /death, /ignore, etc. are no "emotes". Should we keep them in this list anyway or create another page (with cross-reference), like "chat commands" or something? --Eightyfour-onesevenfive 19:01, 7 Aug 2005 (EST)

We have Emote and Emotes. Both articles have almost the same content. One of them has to go (redirect to the other one). Which one? --Eightyfour-onesevenfive 09:15, 17 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * I'd say the singular emote. --Fyren 09:16, 17 Aug 2005 (EST)

Looping emotes are indicated in the list with an asterisk and a connected footnote. Do you think these would be confused with asterisk used for synch'ing?

Also, the text mentions that some emotes are synch-able. I would think all of them are - am I wrong?

Merge with Commands?
I think we should merge Emotes and Commands. The separation is somewhat artificial and I think many users have problems to tell the exact difference, so they come looking for a command and don't find it on emotes or vice versa. The articles are not very long, so we can merge them without any problems. -- 03:42, 3 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Hmmm, I seem to recall them being one then separated. I think they are better separated. If you think people will come looking for one in the other, just mention each one in the other's article. --Karlos 05:12, 3 February 2006 (UTC)


 * There is one problem: People tend not to read, at least not thoroughly. ;) Check the history of Emotes. Quite a few times people have added things that were already listed under Commands, so the edit had to be reverted. The separation isn't quite as self-explanary as it should be.
 * I can understand the confusion. It has happened to me too that I looked on the wrong page. For example: /kneel and /fame are more than just a nice animation. They serve a purpose, thus I thought they might be considered a "command".
 * I think anything that is being entered into the console and starts with a slash should be treated on the same page in this wiki. It's easier than writing a paragraph explaining why and how we split it. -- 05:51, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * More evidence that people mix up "command" and "emote": Copied straight from the current version of Avatar: "They are summoned by approaching a god's statue and issuing the command : /kneel". -- 21:37, 14 February 2006 (CST)

Agreed to merging. --Xeeron 22:42, 14 February 2006 (CST)
