Talk:Animate Dead (730)

Facts only please.  :) Anshou 10:28, 2 January 2006 (CST)

Those are all of the facts, to my knowledge, that anyone knows about the spell. If you want a more simplistic breakdown, there is a page on the Gemstone site I will link to at the beginning of this entry.

Sorry, I think I misunderstood your original post. I suppose I'll simply say that knowing the barebones facts doesn't allow one to use this spell. It's incredibly complicated, and it requires a lot of knowledge to use effectively Plus, I get numerous requests for this guide each week, posting it here will likely draw traffic towards the site. Surely that's not a bad thing.

My original comment was directed toward ULTHRIPE and the original entry for this article. That being said, I'm not certain that the guide is appropriate as the main entry for the spell. The main article should describe the spell in the simplest and most concise terms possible. It'd be more appropriate to put the guide in an article named Animate Dead (guide), place it in the Guides category, and then link to it from the main article.

Detailed command information and how-to is all well and good, but if you want to present a guide, I'd make a separate page for it and link it here on the general spell page. I have a feeling that when people come to edit this (And they will, it's a group wiki after all) you're going to get peeved at people moshing all over your guide. Gyres 09:03, 5 January 2006 (CST)

I think we'd be better served by a more basic overview of the spell with links to various guides or detailed scripts. WELCHA 09:12, 5 January 2006 (CST)

People should feel free to edit information and facts all they want; that's why these things are up here in the first place, right? I have a feeling you've been having a conversation or two with a person whom I requested not to go around editing posts to match a personal preference for style, or maybe it's just a big coincidence. But if people want to link information in the guide to separate pages, I say go ahead; I see nothing wrong with that; I just got lazy after all the time it took to convert the thing in the first place. I'm kind of done with the page though myself.

Sounds like there's agreement then... Now just to determing how best to accomplish the change. Move this one to the guides and create a new article for the concise summary or do a cut/paste to the guide and keep this one? WELCHA 18:19, 6 January 2006 (CST)
