Talk:Harper pin

Merge
So while lesser and greater Harper pins are items with distinct powers, I feel like they can be merged into the same article. Most sources simply refer to Harper pin as a single type of item, while Magic of Faerûn and Leaves of Learning are the only sources I see that make a clear distinction between the two varieties.

I feel like the infobox and categorization can be made to clearly show the differences between the two varieties of the item. Ruf (talk) 13:01, August 13, 2020 (UTC)


 * Fwiw, there are further sources that distinguish between them, and they are rather different (but probably not that different in that they warrant two separate pages). However, I don't feel strongly about it, so I'm fine with the merge. ~ Possessed Priest (talk) 13:19, August 13, 2020 (UTC)


 * I would prefer the merge. ~ Lhynard (talk) 14:55, August 13, 2020 (UTC)

History
There is no general history or description of Harper pins. Would it be more appropriate to list that information here or under one of the "greater" or "lesser" headings, both, all three locations? 2nd edition (Code of Harpers) seems to be describing the "greater" version based on the powers it grants its wearer, but there is no greater/lesser version in that edition. 5th edition (Dragonheist pg. 38) seems to be more generic than either, with no real magical powers, just a "silver pin of a harp within a crescent moon".

 * You could always preface it with “Generally, all Harper puns looked like...” and duplicate it on both articles. Adding qualifiers is generally a safe way to distinguish info between editions. :) Ruf (talk) 20:25, October 18, 2019 (UTC)


 * For simplicity's sake, I plan on renaming this article to "Harper pin", while keeping it as a disambiguation page. Ruf (talk) 12:40, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
