Category Conflict
We have a category called "Locations on the Katakoro Tundra" and "Locations in the Katakoro Tundra." Which is the proper one to use for pages like this? Artemaz (talk) 21:48, February 8, 2016 (UTC)


 * Do you mean "the Katakoro Plateau"? I would say "on the Katakoro Plateau" is more natural (it's a single, flat mountain, things are usually on it). If it's a tundra, then "in the Katakoro Tundra" seems better. — BadCatMan (talk) 12:05, February 9, 2016 (UTC)

Surface Area
Which source notes the surface area of 900 square miles? This info. should be listed in the body text somewhere, not simply in the infobox.

If this info is an estimate from looking at a map, we can't do that on this wiki. Maps are not canon, for one, and they certainly are not consistent or accurate enough to estimate a value of 1,450 km2!

 * What if the map is from an official FR product? Artemaz (talk) 22:50, January 3, 2017 (UTC)


 * Illustrations, including maps, are never canon, or at least they are very, very low in the hierarchy. One only has to compare art from multiple editions&mdash;or even within editions&mdash;to see gross discrepancies, both amongst the art and with the text sources. This especially happens with maps, where rivers and mountain ranges vanish and reappear all the time. Art is for illustrative purposes only. Official maps can be used for rough estimates of directionality, such as, "The town of Foo is west of River Bar," but you can't trust that a lake is a certain size based on how it is drawn, unless text somewhere says so.


 * Note that text on a map is different. If a mountain on an official map is given an elevation, that's cool; I'm just speaking about measuring things like distance using a map key.

 * Gotcha. So is it safe to safe something like "river X was hundreds of miles long"? Artemaz (talk) 00:08, January 4, 2017 (UTC)


 * Sure, that's fine. ~ Lhynard (talk) 00:38, January 4, 2017 (UTC)
