Talk:Spirit

I wonder if this page should be a disambiguation page with specific articles for each of the subtopics that you cover here. ~ Lhynard (talk) 22:47, March 21, 2019 (UTC)


 * It currently reads as a longform disambig page - I think thats a good idea. Great work so far for sure! Ruf (talk) 04:25, March 22, 2019 (UTC)


 * True enough, so it might be a good thing if someone took the effort to create several fitting pages (hopefully being able to use what's here now :-). Won't be me though, I will be happy to get back to other projects. Splitting is also not straightforward in this case: Should it be two articles, nature spirit and spirit (undead), perhaps? Should the Kara-Turan spirits be included or separate? And then there are a number of subdivisions: The lifeforce concept. The demon spirits of Kara-Tur, falling somewhere between elemental and undead spirits. Spirits of places. Greater, lesser and half-spirits. ... Lastly, I find it not always easy to assign the articles linking here now clearly to a subdivision. Daranios (talk) 23:09, March 22, 2019 (UTC)


 * I don't think it should be a disambig page. "Spirit" is a very important, but also highly nebulous, concept in many areas of the setting (Rashemen, Kara-Tur, Osse, etc.). It's roughly equivalent to deity. It would need to be developed further to further clarify the concept. They might be split into separate Spirit pages, but that could wait until the differences are better understood (by whoever took this on).


 * However, I don't think it should carry simple dictionary definitions like "having spirit" or other uses like the alcohol. That would make it less focused and, indeed, make it a disambig page. An otheruses4 template could be use to link to an appropriate alcohol page. — BadCatMan (talk) 11:37, March 23, 2019 (UTC)
