Talk:Sylvanfair verb list

This is not an updated list of current verb options, but a historical preservation of the Sylvanfair verb list. I have locked it from further editing. Updated messaging should be reflected on each verb's VERB (verb) page please! GameMaster Vanah (talk) 04:46, 7 February 2016 (CST)

I don't think people should be locked from editing it and I don't think it should have been reverted. I think any progress on it is good, not everyone is comfortable working in the individual pages. When I originally transferred it, I don't think anyone had the opinion that no one could improve it, I just said that I wouldn't. Also, as discussed during and since the site transfer, no pages should be locked from editing by players except for Official Documentation. VANKRASN39 (talk) 08:42, 7 February 2016 (CST)

If the Sylvanfair one is going to be kept as-is for historical reasons, I don't see a reason not to copy it to Verb list (which is currently a redirect) and allow updates to that page. That said, I don't see a reason to make it a permanent archive. The verb list, while it took a ton of effort, isn't a creative work; it's a literal list of verbs and what they do. Also, there is literally nowhere else to go save Category:Verbs (which is terrible to browse and not obvious to check out to new wiki-ers) to see all the verbs in Gemstone. How do you know to go to the <X> verb page to see what it does if you don't know the verb exists? PFLATS (talk) 09:45, 7 February 2016 (CST)

I think having a separate verb list is a better idea. I use this page quite frequently as a snapshot of how verbs were in the past. It is not nearly up to date to be used as an accurate current verb list. I will leave it protected because there are many other better places to put verbs (the proposed non-redirected verb list, the reverse verb list, the individual verb pages) and it is easy to accidentally edit this one.

At 2000+ views since Jan 1, 2015, I think rather than inconveniencing everyone else by locking it to the version you want and forcing everyone else to go to a different page, keeping your preferred version elsewhere would be better, like on the GM Wiki or printed to PDF. A lot of people know the verb list as the "Sylvanfair verb list" and likely have it bookmarked. VANKRASN39 (talk) 10:21, 7 February 2016 (CST)
