Handling duplicate information
Posted: Sun Jun 07, 2015 6:52 pm
I've seen a few instances where information is duplicated on more than one page, such as where a quest walk-through references a location, while a separate page exists for that location (e.g., both the Soul Cairn quest page and the Reaper's Lair location page discuss the Reaper's Lair).
On the one hand, this is handy because whichever page you happen to be on will (hopefully) contain the information you need. On the other hand, each page may contain information that is incomplete or contradictory, and maintaining the information in two separate locations is a pain. If someone adds information to one location, they may not do so for the other.
Is there a policy on how to handle duplicate information?
