Talk:Spider wand

Question
Hello together,

this page and the Spider rod page describe items that are for all intents and purposes the same except for the name and the kind of magic item, one is a wand, the other is a rod; certainly the product of the edition changes from 2e to 3e.

I intend to write further articles about 2e-magic items that have a 3e-counterpart that have different names and item categories but work mostly the same. Should these items be treated as the same or as different ones?

I'm sorry for the lengthy preface.

Best Regards

 * Those two items do appear to be nearly identical, so combining them into one page is probably best. In this case, we have separate categories for Category:Rods, Category:Staves, and Category:Wands, so I recommend making the Spider wand page a redirect to the Spider rod page (because the 3e item is newer than the 2e item). Add   to the redirect page and   to the page with your merged descriptions, and likewise with any other categories that need to be separated by edition.


 * If the differences between Rods, Staves, and Wands has changed between editions, then I think a page about these items and their evolution would be a good project for someone. Perhaps this would be a useful page even if they haven't changed. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 21:31, August 27, 2018 (UTC)
