Of evil stars and that stuff
Hi! I have a doubt. The far realm-star Hadar isn't mentioned in City of Torment or the other novels in that trilogy, however is the star that gives warlocks the ability to cast the spell Arms of Hadar. Do I have to create an article for that star or not? Thanks in advance.--Zeromaru X 07:25, January 20, 2017 (UTC)

Another doubt. I see Kyuss is considered in-canonical, but Nihal and Kyuss are possibly the same being (according to Bruce R. Cordell), and Nihal actually appears in City of Torment, making Nihal canonical. How do I treat this piece of information?--Zeromaru X 08:00, January 20, 2017 (UTC)


 * These are all very good questions, but it falls outside my current expertise. I am myself confused why Kyuss is considered non-canonical.


 * My interest in Realmspace is primarily with the Rock of Bral. I would suggest starting a forum topic about it. Maybe others will have some more helpful feedback. ~ Lhynard (talk) 15:49, January 24, 2017 (UTC)

Bodies of water project
I switched all of the current "bays" to the newer "bodies of water" infobox. Artemaz (talk) 15:31, January 24, 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks, man! Feel free to mark your progress here if you do knock off one of the other categories on the list: Bodies of Water Project


 * Will do! Artemaz (talk) 16:05, January 24, 2017 (UTC)


 * What are your thoughts on dealing with the oases? Many of the oases are actually towns that also provide a fresh source of water, whereas some are purely oases with little (or no) buildings nearby.Artemaz (talk) 02:02, January 25, 2017 (UTC)


 * I hadn't really thought about it; I haven't even come across any of the former type. The Calim Desert and Anauroch are the two deserts I know anything about, and their oases are never settled permanently.


 * There is a trick you can do for such things, though, for special cases, to make it use a regular Location that looks like a Body of water. Simply add a  field to the Location template. You will lose the auto-categorization of the Body of water template, but you will still be able to add fields like   if you wish.


 * So I would recommend that route. I hope that makes sense.


 * I have done a similar thing with mountains that were also dwarven settlements.


 * Of course, one could also make separate articles, one for the geographical feature and the other for the settlement. This has already been done (by you, I think) in some cases. I would personally prefer that in such cases the titles are "Foo Pool" and "Foo Pool (settlement)" instead of "Foo Pool (pool)" and "Foo Pool (settlement)".

 * Thanks for the info. I think I'll use the Variant=water edit for pages like Ansi where the vast majority of the page deals with the town and it doesn't seem like there is enough info to create a separate Ansi (pool) page. Artemaz (talk) 11:57, January 25, 2017 (UTC)
