About merging
At the moment, there is a request to merge the page "Pokédex entry recycling" into "Pokédex entry". Basically, I suppose the idea would be using just the page "Pokédex entry" while keeping the content about entry recycling as a long section on that page.
However, I would suggest maybe keeping them as separate pages because of their page sizes:
- "Pokédex entry" is over 25k and has small sections about several entry-related subjects like description, forms, cry, area, origin, footprint, height, weight, map, etc.
- "Pokédex entry recycling" is nearly 14k, more than half the size of the previous one.
Therefore, if the page "Pokédex entry" contained all the information about Pokédex entry recycling too, then the full merged page would be around 39k, and it would mostly be about Pokédex entry recycling in comparison with the other smaller sections on the page.
We also have separately the page "Foreign Pokédex entry", whose size is 20k. I think it is interesting that "Pokédex entry recycling" has been suggested to be merged with "Pokédex entry" but the page "Foreign Pokédex entry" was not suggested to be merged with them so far. If we decided to merge all three pages, it would be around 59k and the bulk of the content would be about entry recycling and foreign entries, but in my opinion it's OK to keep "Pokédex entry", "Pokédex entry recycling", and "Foreign Pokédex entry" as three separate pages. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 05:13, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah keeping them separate makes the most sense to me. Landfish7 14:53, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
- As far as I can tell from the page history, the page was initially suggested to be moved to "Pokédex entry", but when the Pokedex entry page was split-off from the original "Pokedex" page, it was changed to merge instead. However, there was no reasoning given behind the original move request. I agree that the pages being separate makes the most sense. (Aditionally, I also want to suggest making the purposes of these pages more clearer when interlinking on each of those articles, rather than just being a bullet point in the "see also" section.)→ PikaTepig999 17:13, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
