I suggest moving the mechanics and example sections to the [[Animal companion]] page eventually and possibly reorganizing that one a bit and make it more substantial since it seems to be a lot of lists at present. I'll work on it when I write out some more substantial stuff and polish it up a bit, unless someone else beats me to it. ;)

::Yeah, merging the two pages is definitely another option, though I agree it would be pretty cluttered. I suspect that they're currently separate because there's the spell (which is pretty simple) and then there are all of the many mechanical things animal companions do (which aren't actually included in the other page).
::If the end goal is to consolidate a lot of the information about animal companions from other pages and provide many details on the mechanics of animal companions, then I think it makes sense to have a separate page for those. If we just want to have a bit of a summary on the wiki and leave the rest to external pages then one page would probably sufffice. I'm not sure which is the best way to proceed though.

Division of information

I tried to keep this page on point with the spell and its use in particular, but the information that was here before had an example of a canine attack maneuver and I didn't want to remove that entirely since it risks getting lost.

I suggest moving the mechanics and example sections to the Animal companion page eventually and possibly reorganizing that one a bit and make it more substantial since it seems to be a lot of lists at present. I'll work on it when I write out some more substantial stuff and polish it up a bit, unless someone else beats me to it. ;)
