Talk:Raw Fish

Split?
Should we split this into 2 articles; fish and grilled fish? Come on, Grilled Pork has it's own page, we should be consistent. -F1racer101 12:36, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree, though I don't think it's necessary at this time since both pages would have such low content, maybe when Fish have been out a little longer and a bit more content is there, it'll be worthwhile to be consistent and split them then.

 * I'd be more inclined to merge grilled pork into pork. They're tiny pages. – ultradude25 ( T at 17:14, 21 November 2010 (CST)
 * They are separate items with different attributes, so I'd vote towards keeping them separate. '''[[User:Aclectasis| A ]] CLECTASIS ''' 00:46, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
 * So? That's what we have the block template for... – ultradude25 ( T at 18:51, 21 November 2010 (CST)
 * Let's put it this way. Once the game and the wiki grows, they will eventually become separate articles anyway, because they are separate items, albeit with similar visuals, qualities and uses. Separate items get separate pages, it's a simple principle used in countless game-based wikis including this one. So there's no point in going backwards just because the articles are short at the moment. '''[[User:Aclectasis| A ]] CLECTASIS ''' 02:26, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Well I don't see how pork and grilled pork could possibly get any more information. Aside from being added to some crafting recipes, there's not much that could change with them. – ultradude25 ( T at 00:03, 22 November 2010 (CST)
 * Its not as if the pork and grilled pork pages are tiny. I'd say leave it, but you're the boss. -F1racer101 00:22, 22 November 2010 (CST)
 * They seem pretty small to me. We need a vote. All in favour of merging the pork and grilled pork pages and leaving this one until they have more info, say I. All in favour of leaving the pork and grilled pork pages and splitting this one, say Nay. I – ultradude25 ( T at 03:13, 22 November 2010 (CST)
 * I'm in favour of neither, but if I need to give an answer that will arbitrarily apply to both sets of pages, I'd say Nay, Split. You yourself in the above post practically admit that it'll be split later if it gets more info, and it could only get more info, not lose it, so a split in the future (as per the precedence of every item on the wiki having its own page) is practically a given. So what you're trying to achieve now is devolution of the wiki in favour of slightly compulsive wiki maintenance, which I think is wrong. '''[[User:Aclectasis| A ]] CLECTASIS ''' 03:19, 22 November 2010 (CST)
 * I agree with Aclectasis. I'd say "nay" but maybe we should just wait fr more info? -F1racer101 09:41, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

"Let's put it this way. Once the game and the wiki grows, they will eventually become separate articles anyway"

So then the Door and Pressure Plate pages should be split to Wood and Iron as well. Personally I don't see a problem with combining two items that are essentially the same (as seen on door and pressure plate). Grilled fish and Fish, Apple and Golden Apple, Pork and Grilled Pork.

 * Plus why would they eventually split anyway? Ok sure, Mojang might add more uses for fish, but that'd only really add a 1 or 2 lines of text to the article. Surely it's better to have one reasonable size article than two stubs? – ultradude25 ( T at 07:53, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Obtaining them
Is it really necessary to say that you get them by fishing with a fishing rod, as that seems quite obvious. Timberdoodle 11:48, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, because without it one might assume that they could be caught with a net or something. - Alphap T ~ C 21:05, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually, the net is a nice idea. =D You can put it in the water and let it do its job. Los Bastardos 11:40, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Fishing trawlers? (MEGA RESOURCE-DEPLETION 4TW! MUAHAHAHHAHAHA! >:D)Mybabypetghast 01:04, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, a net's an awesome idea. You could make it out of a bunch of string. Hlast 13:07, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

It would certainly be handy. And maybe we could use it in traps and for fences. We could make it with string and iron. =D What do you think? Milkman9 16:20, 28 August 2011

Great fishing idea from Reddit
A redditor came up with a great idea to expand fishing as a sort of mini-game with four types of fish. Here With 1.8 on the horizon, fishing has become rather redundant: Here's a quick suggestion that would fix that and make it enjoyable and rewarding in the process! --Ecksearoh 15:05, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

Clean up Article
On the last part of the article, it said, "there STILL aren't fish".

Think we should remove that? 99.186.122.134 00:53, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Cobwebs easier than spiders?
The article would seem to suggest that many players will be finding mineshafts or strongholds long before they have their first spider fight, and I'm thinking the opposite is far more common. Certainly I've survived a dozen spider fights and have the string to show for them, and have yet to find a mineshaft or stronghold. Maybe I suck at digging. Bit anyhow, I will reword this to be more neutral in this regard unless there is opinion to the contrary. 172.27.245.105 17:55, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
