Talk:Gehenna

Merge with Blood Rift
I'm not an expert on the subject so I don't know if the article is correct but the text claims that Gehenna and the Blood Rift are one and the same. If that's the case, why have two separate articles on the subject? Why not just merge them. Niirfa-sa 04:01, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

This is one of those sticky Edition things. Gehenna, the 1E and 2E plane is not exactly the 3e and 4E Blood Rift. The only people looking up Gehenna, will want to see an article about the plane, not just a tiny foot note at the bottom of a 4E page. Gehenna is a plane itself, not a 'part' of the Abyss plane(or whatever happened to the Blood Rift) in 4e. If you put everything in 4E terms,as you want a pure 4E Wiki(though, again I wonder why you just don't make a new Wiki) you will just confuse people. If someone reads about Gehenna in a book, and comes to the Wiki to look it up, they will get no useful information by being directed to a 4E page all about the Blood Rift. But go ahead and merge them, won't be so much worse then all the other 4E stuff you have changed on the wiki to make it useless to any but the 4E people. Now, it might be a good idea to combine all the information on all the pages into edition neutral articles with quadruple the number of categories, one set for each edition. I'm not sure you'd go for that, as it would not put 4E at the top and have this look like a 4E only Wiki. (Bloodtide 03:14, 20 February 2009 (UTC))


 * I'm not talking about 4e at all. The Blood Rift is barely mentioned in 4e, only in passing in Worlds and Monsters, which I do not own. This is a 2e/3e difference and one that seems purely linguistic in nature. The article straight out says that Gehenna is "better known as the Blood Rift." If this is the case - then why have two different articles?
 * I don't see why you think this has anything to do with 4e. It doesn't. As I said, the Blood Rift isn't even mentioned in 4e sourcebooks. Stop constructing a straw man here. If you have an objection other than "you're trying to make everything 4e" (which I'm not since, as I just said, this isn't even related to 4e) I don't see a reason not to merge them.
