Merger
Should this page not be merged with Astrolabus? DiSoRiEnTeD1 ☎ 02:55, July 7, 2020 (UTC)
- No, any more than The War King with The Master — or indeed Great House with Time Lord. --Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 03:02, July 7, 2020 (UTC)
- shouldn't that be the case for Kelsey Hooper too then? DiSoRiEnTeD1 ☎ 03:06, July 7, 2020 (UTC)
- I dunno. The merge was performed a long time ago, and I presume there was a good reason at the time.
- shouldn't that be the case for Kelsey Hooper too then? DiSoRiEnTeD1 ☎ 03:06, July 7, 2020 (UTC)
- Notice that "Homeworld" and "Gallifrey" were merged too. I suppose there might be something to the idea that when the FP version has changed in-universe, it's more likely to always be covered on its own page even after the hints pile up, whereas if hints pile up as evidence of "it's literally the same thing", we sometimes do perform a merge. But that's just my own speculation.--Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 03:11, July 7, 2020 (UTC)
- i dunno, if that were the case then Auteur and Astrolabus would be merged (as most of Auteur's page contains pictures and information regarding to Astroalabus' appearances). i doubt FP had any rights to use Kelsey, which is why they needed to go with "Ceol" that is derived from Kelsey. DiSoRiEnTeD1 ☎ 03:17, July 7, 2020 (UTC)
- Not necessarily. They routinely have characters go by alternate names even when they have the right to them. Christine Summerfield/Cousin Eliza comes to mind.
