Talk:Aglet

Trivia
Ok, do we want to mention what an aglet is, since it is a somewhat odd word? --JonTheMon 16:18, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I quite liked the line with the definition. I didn't even know that part of a shoelace had a name... Olrad 16:20, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
 * We make these articles not about their real-life counterparts, but about the in-game items. For example, we don't explain what a pickaxe is on every pickaxe page. If someone really cares that much about knowing what an aglet is they can get a dictionary or something.--Cobaltcakes 16:23, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
 * But there's a difference between common knowledge and uncommon knowledge. This definitely falls under the latter. --JonTheMon 16:28, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree. Everyone knows what a pickaxe is, but a doubt anyone knows what an aglet is. I say put the definition in there. --fso
 * Not many people know what a Mandible is, or a Chakrum, or Obsidian. Do we need to explain it on those pages too? No. It's just random trivia that has nothing to do with the game, the whole point of this wiki. --Cobaltcakes 16:56, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Telling people that the plumber outfit resembles Mario is random trivia that has nothing to do with the game as well. And I think at least 50% of the population would know what a mandible and obsidian are, and the 20% that ever saw Xena know what a Chakrum is. I would be surprised if 1% knew what an aglet is. Seriously, what does it hurt to put it in?--fso
 * It takes up space and looks pretty unprofessional. I have no idea what Xena is, nor will many other people, and I never knew Obsidian existed before Minecraft, and the same with Chakrum, but with this game. As for Mandible, younger players in low grade science classes won't know what that is, I don't even think you're supposed to know it until high school. What difference does it make if it's not there, knowing what an Aglet is won't enrich anyone's life.--Cobaltcakes 17:31, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
