Minecraft Wiki talk:Projects/Raw and cooked food

Has this actually been discussed?
Merging pages in general can easily create a mess (just look at the fish page, the infobox takes up the whole height of the screen), and require more maintenance and workarounds (such as if a fish mob were ever implemented, we would have to either give it a dumb name like "Fish (mob)", or move the fish page somewhere else, probably equally as dumb, and break all existing links), without any obvious benefit, which is why I'm almost always against merging pages.

"The pages Chicken and Rabbit already exist and refer to mobs. The items will be called "Rabbit meat" and "Chicken meat", with a dablink on the mob pages." especially concerns me, as now we're just making up page names, which will be inconsistent with the other pages. These would probably end up being named "Rabbit (meat)" and "Chicken (meat)", and now we've purposely created more ugly parenthesised page names...

As usual, I see no value added to the reader by merging the pages. If I want to know about raw chicken, then that's exactly what I type into the search. If I then want to know about cooked chicken, I click on one of the many links on the raw chicken page. If I wanted to compare stats, I would go to a page summarising the overall subject, such as food, which is also linked on all the food pages. –Majr ᐸ Talk Contribs 05:19, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
 * It appears at MCT:Community portal/Archive 19. I created the project because the project was left unfinished.
 * As far as naming, the pages would use conjecture, and the raw and cooked pages would redirect. The BlobsPaper.png 15:05, 14 July 2017 (UTC)


 * But what's the advantage of merging everything together? Less small, readable pages but more enormous, unclear pages, just to save some time maintaining those? I never understood why everything on the English wiki has to be merged. (I'm exaggerating of course, but you get the point) Also conjecture wouldn't work. The names "Cooked Chicken" and "Raw Chicken" are official already. | violine1101(Talk) 15:35, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
