8BT: The Wikipedia Article - Page 6

There's that, Brian. There's that.

But I still think there should be less story stuff in them and more concentration on their characters. The whole armor/armoire story in Fighter's entry could probably be reduced to half a sentence. It just doesn't seem to fit in there, more like somebody really wanted to retell it (don't get me wrong, it's a fine idea to get people hooked, but, y'know, a time and a place).

Am I wrong, or did somebody just kill this entry? Only the Light Warrior descriptions remain, aside from small entries for WM, BB, & Garland.

It looks like it, but actualy they just moved all the discriptions to the "Characters of 8-bit theater" entry. Don't ask me why.

Some guy changed it, asking that we keep decriptions down to a minimum. I don't think he works for Wikipedia. He might just be some random jerk.

Here's the old one.

I think he's right. There is too much story retelling going on in the character profiles. That, however, is too short.

What the hell?

"Hm, look at this extensive wiki entry. Better get rid of it." I'm fine with shortening the character descriptions, but this is stupid.

The cut material seems to have been moved to its own article.

Yeah, that was my reaction when I saw it, was ready to revert it until I saw it became a seperate page.

Seems kind of a waste of time, doesn't it? At this point the 8BT entry is basically a link to another entry where the information about 8BT is.

They might be following a wikiprotocol. I do believe it's common for wikipages to have a sister page to deal with the characters in the fiction. Atleast, they have it for harry potter, metal gear, and just about every other thing I saw.
