Which Egg is Which? -> Egg guide
Please don't rename. I really like it how it is. And it's not like the name isn't intuitive, or the article isn't linked on the wiki.

Maybe, just maybe make it so that when someone searches for "egg guide", they'll get linked to "which egg is which".


 * Thanks for your input! :)


 * I don't think that "Which egg is which?" is a more intuitive title for someone new to the game or this wiki to search for. I know many frequent users are used to it, and may like it, but the title doesn't align with good practices in a couple ways.


 * I've been talking with some other Fandom folks about best practices, and it was recommended that the guide should exist as a child of "Egg", since its purpose is to help identify eggs in the game. Besides that, it's a general practice that question marks should not be used in article titles unless it's absolutely necessary, like an article for the show Whose Line Is It Anyway?. "Which egg is which?" doesn't need to have a question mark in it, so best practice is that it should not.


 * I'm also concerned by how often I see new users having to be directed to the "Which egg is which?" page on the forums and discords, which makes me think that the name, though one we're accustomed to, isn't helpful for new users trying to find this information.

The title "Which Egg is Which?" is cute and relatively comprehensive. It practically tells you what the guide is about, and when I first started using the Wiki towards the middle of last year via Googling "DragCave egg guide" this was what popped up, and left no question about what the article would be about. 88.242.137.108 06:05, May 30, 2020 (UTC) Kleng


 * If your instinct is to search for an "egg guide" it seems like it would make more sense that the article should be named something like "egg guide". People don't generally search for the question they have, they search for where they think the answer's likely to be. Likewise, articles are usually named for their function, not the question they answer.


 * While the current title is cute, I don't think cuteness is sufficient to keep us from improving the wiki's naming and organizational practices.

I find "Which Egg Is Which?" more descriptive than "Egg guide". It's clearer from "Which...?" that the page is for telling eggs apart. "Egg guide" suggests breeding, catching, and hatching eggs.

There's more input on TLQ on the forum

I don't strongly oppose a move, but can we have "Which...?" as a redirect for users who are used to it?

 * Yeah, there will absolutely be a redirect left behind. Anyone who accesses it by the "Which egg is which?" link will be automatically routed to the correct article.
 * I'm thinking Egg/Identification guide is probably where this will land.

Floret Wyvern
Not sure how long the notice has been up, but I think using a bot to fix/rename the article links and then keeping "Floret Wyvern" as a disambiguation page might be a good solution in the long run: Bluesonic1 (talk) 12:37, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
 * People can still use Floret Wyvern to search for the variant pages without having to know the variant name
 * The page itself can still be linked on articles where their variants aren't both shown (e.g. Dragon Rarity Guide)
 * Those who know them by Iris or Alstroemeria can search the corresponding articles directly with that name, with both articles now having consistent naming too


 * I agree, that's probably the best path forward. Matches what we've done for Seasonal Dragons, which is probably the closest parallel. I can fire up a bot script tonight and resolve some of these rename requests. RinasaurusRex (talk) 13:07, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

Currently being released vs Current events
It has been requested that this article or file be renamed: Current events

Reason: More concise, named for the content matter of the article rather than the "being released" action.

Please don't rename, it's not a news page. It's currently being released, we all know what it means.


 * It is where we document current events happening on Dragon Cave, though. And those events are are not always releases... For a wiki, article titles should be nouns, rather than the verb "being released." RinasaurusRex (talk) 21:20, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
