::::Hmmm... I'm not sure I want to spend hours researching all the patches so I know what needs to be added. I'd rather spend that time playing or updating the current information.

Revision as of 19:14, 17 December 2010
Well, I've noticed (at least for the pages I've been updating) that the "Patch Changes" sections are badly out-of-date. Speaking as a newer WOW player, I will say that I don't care about patch changes pre-4.0.1 in a detailed list format on the various pages. (I'm not referring to the pages that are specifically about a patch.) I do think having general information about changes in the articles and in a history section is useful.
I think it would be easier to update and for newer players if we just removed the patch changes (on pages as we update them) that are pre-4.0.1 or pre-4.0.3. And then add patch changes going forward. For anyone who really wants to know the changes for a particular patch, they could always read the specific page for that patch. (And, of course, I don't think we should remove those pages.)

- Perhaps they aren't tailored for new players, but for some players those can be handy to know. Some abilities and talents has changed, and it's interesting to know when. --g0urra[T҂C] 09:18, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
- I can understand that. But does that mean we need to research all the patches to get them up-to-date? The ones I'm looking at haven't been updated since pre-2.x or something. It seems like that's a lot of missing material, and those pages are going to get long.
- Or, perhaps a compromise is to put the most interesting changes in a history section rather than detailed patch changes? Tulonsae (talk) 09:39, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
