How's it going?

Hey, its nice to see new faces here! We've been noticing that you've been reverting the edits of administrators here on ZeldaWiki, especially when it comes down to using the names of enemies in The Adventure of Link, many of which have names that are more canonically friendly (i.e. Wizzrobe instead of Wizzar). When it comes down to naming, it is not usually warranted to make/move content to new pages for enemies that are identical, yet with different names. Hence, your edits to the Wizzar, Babs, and Billy were all reverted in order to keep all relevant information all on the mother page, where it not only belongs, but supports all other info on the page. We are in no way attempting to discourage you from editing - we're just trying to keep everything relevant together! If you have any other questions about this, or about anything in general, reply below me here! Hope to see you around =) User:Cipriano 119/sig 23:06, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

They have completely different names though, thus they are different. And did you read the Talk:Wizzrobe section? I was only talking about the "Zelda II: Adventure of Link enemy (Which is called Uizzaru, as opposed to Uizzrobu) Template:Nosig
You are right, they do have different names, and I did see the talk page. However, that is not our policy here at ZW. We try to keep all relevant information, including enemies that have different names but identical behavior on the same page for the sake of consistency and content compliance. I understand where you are coming from, however, this is just how we do things here. For future reference, "demanding" something should happen doesn't mean it should. Truly, future generations of wiki-ers will most likely merge the Wizzar information back into the Wizzrobe article as they are so much the same. User:Cipriano 119/sig 23:30, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
I agree with the way you organize things on Zelda Wiki, however Wizzars do not have the exact same appearence, name, or weaknesses. I am sure there are a few pages on here that are seperate, that are the exact same way. Tharthan 23:35, 14 March 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Just my two cents: Wizzars and Wizzrobes have pretty much the exact same appearance, just a different color (at least when compared to their TLoZ version). Name is almost identical, they behave the same way. The only "major" difference is their weakness, but that doesn't really justify the need to make it into its own page.
