Merge with Sanctuary (A Link to the Past)[]

This is the same place as Sanctuary (A Link to the Past), I think the 2 pages should be merged. --DarkLink1996 (talk) 07:22, 6 December 2014 (UTC)DarkLink1996

Agree. Same place years later, same article. But what name should the merged article have? Jeangabin (talk) 07:52, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
I reverted your merge because "Sanctuary (Era of Light and Dark)" is an invalid title. ALBW isn't confirmed to take place during said era, so that title simply cannot work. - TonyT S C 06:43, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
How bout Sanctuary (Downfall Timeline)? I suppose the TP Sanctuary would have to be renamed to Sanctuary (Child Timeline) if that were to happen. The FS/MC Sanctuary is safe since it has a descriptor beyond 'Sanctuary.' JasonBall (talk) 07:07, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
I'm okay for this title. Jeangabin (talk) 10:29, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
Let's try and get a good consensus and give people some time to respond before we act, since this is probably going to be a long-standing decision.
Personally, I don't like that solution, and I'd rather we not merge these two pages or if we do merge, we merge all three (Twilight Princess's Sanctuary too). - TonyT S C 20:53, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
That TP Sanctuary is a completely different place. It's like asking to merge the Pirate Ships from Skyward Sword and Wind Waker. Now I've probably given you an idea, though, hehe. I personally don't like this sort of issue: sometimes seeing what the benefits are in person can convince more than the most elaborate words. I mean to say let's merge it, do it well, and see what it looks like instead of standing around asking people if its a good idea. If people have legit criticisms to lobby after actually seeing the thing, then we can debate. The mods move and rename stuff all the time without asking, and arbitrarily at that, yet this one is an issue. Please excuse my lecture on wiki editing philosophy, but sometimes things don't make much sense around here. In fact, the name Sanctuary (Era of L&D) works a little bit better than you abruptly made it out to, because LttP Sanctuary IS in that era, and the LBW Sanctuary is the same place. So that LBW Sanctuary was in that era at some point, currently or not. It's not perfect, but really, there is like no consistency on this wiki on what flies and what doesn't and it's starting to get to me. Sorry. JasonBall (talk) 22:31, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
I agree even if we have to merge all three Sanctuaries. But, as JasonBall said, while the ALttP and ALBW sanctuaries are the same at different time (past/future), the Sanctuary in TP is in another universe (and not confirmed to serve the same purpose as the other unverse's sanctuary). Jeangabin (talk) 23:45, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
The Temple of Time page hosts information for "completely different places" and is nonetheless unaffected. The Priests in ALttP and ALBW are "completely different people", yet they share a page. The question therein is: what makes these Sanctuaries any more special to deserve special treatment?
By the "Pirate Ship" from Skyward Sword, I assume you mean the Sandship, which has its own name. No conflict, no comparison. No such thing as "Pirate Ship" in The Wind Waker either (there's Tetra's Ship and Warships, but see: Sandship).
In response to your criticism of administrator activity: they are more than likely carrying out policy that they have been taught and are not guilty of carrying out wanton activity. - TonyT S C 03:14, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
So, we merge all three pages? Jeangabin (talk) 09:25, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
I'm a bit late, but the problem I have with merging is what to call the merged page. "(Era of Light and Dark)" is not feasible, neither is "(Downfall Timeline)". There's no subtitle that best works, so it is probably better to not merge them at all. - Midoro (T C) 15:34, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
Well, if we keep Sanctuary (Twilight Princess) the way it is, it actually wouldn't be completely ridiculous to call this just "Sanctuary" with a link to the disambiguation, as the only sanctuary to appear more than once.
Besides that, though, I'd say that merging all three into a general "these are sanctuaries in the Zelda series" is a pretty good option. Peanutjon (talk) 21:24, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
