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)
