Rules Sections[edit]
A number of these have game mechanic rules sections. Once I get clarification on a procedure for that, need to go through and apply said procedure. Talvin (talk) 21:07, 10 February 2022 (EST)
- I am heavily in favor of banishing the rules entierly because as the wiki has become larger and more prominent with the fan base it has become harder to ignore the fact that having rules on the site basically breaks our own rules about plagarism.--Dmon (talk) 21:13, 10 February 2022 (EST)
- I agree. However, I am a very small fish in this tank, and that is a policy issue: a big fish with teeth. Over on Discord, Cache promised to find me some guidance. Without something in writing saying "Do this", the guy who hasn't been here a week yet is not going to go around wiping sections out of pages wholesale. You perhaps could, I should not and won't.

- If the "game rules" are a list of game stats only, I think they should be deleted. SPA's, SCA's, and others that can be reworded, should be, in my opinion. And all should have a proper reference to point users in the right direction for the full info. It'seasier to search here than across multiple rulebooks.--Cache (talk) 11:09, 11 February 2022 (EST)
- My understanding is that this whole thing is going to move to a policy discussion page. Not sure which one. Talvin (talk) 11:15, 11 February 2022 (EST)
- I believe this belongs under the copyright policy. Please move the "Game Rules" conversation here: Policy_Talk:Copyrights#Game_Rules_Sections--Cache (talk) 10:57, 12 February 2022 (EST)

Low Priority[edit]
This is solely my opinion (I am not the only person working on the Orphanage, now), but I think these pages need a lower priority for being "adopted" until such time as the Rules question is worked out. Consensus on that is slow-going, though it seems likely that some editing will be needed. It also seems likely that many of the articles, once rules/stats are removed, will become good candidates for merging. So, I am going to just park any I find here and leave them be until such time as that is all sorted. Talvin (talk) 16:28, 15 February 2022 (EST)
