Merge
Should this page be merged with the "diseases" category? Boo Too - &#34;Go for the eyes!&#34; (talk) 23:45, April 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * Interesting point, Boo... admin's or editor's thoughts? Darkwynters (talk) 00:09, April 4, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hmm. There is lot of overlap and redundancy between the two. But illness is a more general term. All diseases are diseases, but not all illnesses are diseases. If, say, we have articles for conditions like blindness, deafness, or withering (often caused by spells and effects and suffered by characters), or odd things like dwarfism or frostbite, none of these are diseases. But they're not really illnesses either. "Medical conditions" is used by other wikis as a catch-all category, but this sounds too technical for our fantasy setting.
 * But I'm wittering. I say delete this category, as everything here exists at Category:Diseases already. — BadCatMan (talk) 03:40, April 4, 2013 (UTC)
