There were a lot of zones merged during Game Update 64 . Many quests still refer to the old zones that have now been merged and it can be confusing looking up a zone to find it has been removed from game.

I think it would be helpful if a disambiguation page was created for the removed zone name. Then have the disambig page link to two articles a "Zone Name (Zone)" page and a "Zone Name (POI)" page.

It could look something like this:

The Elddar Grove - disambig page

The Elddar Grove (Zone) - Removed from game info

The Elddar Grove (POI) - Current game info

First, it's best not to do zone moves manually unless you move everything that goes with it. It makes a mess of broken links and categories and makes it twice as bad to clean up after than doing it before.

With that said, even though these zones are gone I don't see the need to change the pages. All we really need is a {{Dab}} on the top to point to the POI page rather than the disambig. When pages are of equal weight the disambig is appropriate, but when one is major and one is minor (even if the major one is basically RfG content) the dab seems more appropriate to me. -- lordebon ( talk ) 21:38, November 27, 2013 (UTC)

I don't mind moving all the content. I just wanted to show what it looked like and talk before I made a lot of moves/changes.

I simply wondered whether giving the search term people would be likely to use "The Elddar Grove" to content that was not in game. I figured it would be better to have content that was in game have priority on search terms or a disambig page. Jado818 ( talk ) 22:12, November 27, 2013 (UTC)
