Page Splitting
I don't think we should split the page into a million separate ones for each fish...

Perhaps merge the quest fish with the angler page?

That's good. That's OK. Let's just... not go overboard and split it all up. There's a difference between too few and entirely too many. RECCOMMENDED ORDERING: Quest Items -> Angler Potion Ingredients -> New Page Other Catchables -> New Page Plet53 (talk) 02:20, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

From a users point of view, the current layout lends to ease of use--it is simple to locate what can be found where, or where a specific fish is located. Preserving the sort-able tables through the proposed split would be wonderful.

I'm fine with having individual pages for each fish, as long as this reference page for every fish still stays. That way, you can put the basics here and put any details, references, trivia, etc. in the individual fish pages. FyreNWater (talk) 03:33, 14 May 2014 (UTC)


 * I think we'll end up with "natural" divisions as we learn more about this mechanic. There's the obvious division of where and how each fish can be caught, and then there's whether the fish is a potion ingredient or used for some other notable purpose, and then whether it's part of a quest (text of the quest on the angler page -> link to the specific fish -> description of how to catch), and then you have the stack of fish that basically get used for cooked fish and that's all. I'd counsel patience and boldness - if you can add significant detail to a fish or group of fish, split it off to a new page and add it, but if you're just going to stub out a picture and not add at least a paragraph or two of meaningful detail... hold off until you (or someone) can. I'd favour subcategories over individual fish pages, where it's meaningful. CDarklock (talk) 05:38, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
