[edit] merging

If by changing the name to Dungeonscape (Dungeons and Dragons), thus adding a link to this page from the Dungeons and Dragons page is what you mean by merging, then I agree. Is there any way to change the title of the page, or should I just create a new one? Aetheilas 04:21, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

I moved the page for you, but I don't think that's what he meant. Bawolff 04:42, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

This page has 62 links to it. I think that in itself proably makes it important enough to have its own article. Bawolff 04:43, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Okay, acording to the help page on merging, the fpollowing are the general reasons:

• There are two or more pages on exactly the same subject.
• There are two or more pages on related subjects that have a large overlap. Wikipedia is not a dictionary; there does not need to be a separate entry for every concept in the universe. For example, "Flammable" and "Non-flammable" can both be explained in an article on Flammability.
• If a page is very short and cannot or should not be expanded terribly much, it often makes sense to merge it with a page on a broader topic.
• If a short article requires the background material or context from a broader article in order for readers to understand it.

I think the main reason that this merge was proposed, is that If a page is very short and cannot or should not be expanded terribly much, it often makes sense to merge it with a page on a broader topic. However I think, considering its a book, a lot more information on it could be written after its been published, as can be seen by the many other articles in the category Category:Dungeons & Dragons books. its a short stub now, but it definitly has the potential to grow bigger in my opinion.
