Talk:Duel Decks
I seem to be ignored on the forums and ignored on the wiki so I'll ask in both places.
After merging 11+ articles into one does everyone think it looks better as one long article?
I have my reservations about one long article and prefer the individual entries. --GeoMike (talk) 06:26, 7 November 2012 (EST)
- You're right. I prefer the individual entries as well. I don't see the point of the merging, it's against the nature of a wiki (just like moving entries to categories) --Hunter61 (talk) 07:09, 7 November 2012 (EST)
- Normally, I'd be all for separate articles and articles separate from categories.
- ... so, I suppose we shouldn't merge minor, supporting, and other characters into a list of character and we shouldn't even have lists of characters at all, even if it might, you know, facilitate finding all of the characters associated with storylines?
- Also, I suppose we shouldn't bother with more precisely categorising characters and the like according to their spot in the storylines and the blocks; rather, we should rely on, and cause further bloat, upon a superfluous number of categories. --Magic Mage (talk!) 08:18, 7 November 2012 (EST)
- Lol what are you talking about? Aren't the Duel Decks except for the ones WotC released as jokes on their own pages? Color me confused! --Kraken Chowder 101 (talk) 03:30, 9 November 2012 (EST)
- Please replace the April Fools DD section with links. Ktnx. Kraken Chowder 101 (talk) 03:38, 9 November 2012 (EST)
- Kraken Chowder, you're right. GeoMike, I upmerged pages as they have significant overlap, are unlikely to have additional expansion (yes, even with free editing/lack of page protection), and there is some background to individual Duel Decks. They've been unmerged since my Nov. 7 comment and before your Nov. 8 comment, though; although the articles can't be expanded and the pages aren't all that worthy of entire articles dedicated to such a small matter, the unmerge was performed due to considerations as to article length and the certainty that Wizards will continue to churn out this product line... however terrible they have been and, for those in the future, may be... --Magic Mage (talk!) 09:53, 9 November 2012 (EST)
- Thank you very much for your edits, Kraken Chowder. --Magic Mage (talk!) 09:53, 9 November 2012 (EST)
Template
Since there was a large overhaul of the magic sets template recently, combined with the great success of the Duel Decks series, I think it would be a good idea to create a template for easy navigation of the Duel Decks, with a simple listing of the Duel Decks in sequence of their release. I would create it myself but unfortunately I am ignorant of how to create templates, and if I had succeeded in doing so I would still be unable to add it to the articles on the Duel Decks or this article since they are, along with all other set articles, are locked. At the very least I would like to request that this article is unlocked as I would like to add some words as to the release schedule and the fact that faction based and planeswalker based Duel decks seem to alternate.
