Heat | 22:26, 3 March 2016 (CET)

I think this page is pretty pointless. By comparison, not everyone with Psionics has Telekinesis, and plenty of beings who have Telepathy have no other psionic powers, so those pages make some sense. Not all Air users have Vacuum, and vice-versa. Literally EVERYONE who has Fire has heat, and only a handful of beings have heat without fire; a small enough number to maybe fit under the trivia section or something. It's unnecessary and confusing. -- Great Jala Cthulhu fhtagn

EDIT: Better idea still - just list the heat users under Fire. We list Telekinesis users under Psionics, so why not? -- Toa Jala Converse 08:30, 11 May 2016 (CET)

Keep

  1. --External Image 17:49, 4 March 2016 (CET)
  2. Keep, because the Vacuum sub-power (Every air-user has this power) has page with less information than the Heat has. -- Surel-Nuva (Talk) 16:52, 17 April 2016 (CET)
  3. Keiththelegokid
  4. Keep, because as stated before certain creatures have the power of Heat but can't control fire, such as the Hoto. Deleting or Merging the page would just be stupid because of this. Though Fire may have the Power of Heat, Heat on it's own does not have the Powers of Fire. -- AidanBionicle1
  5. Keep, as others have said, for the reason that some beings has been shown to have heat-based powers without being able to control the element of fire. --Luka1184 (talk) 03:27, 5 August 2016 (CET)

I don't see a reason for this to have a page all on its own - besides the lava eels, nobody has non-fire heat powers. I think the difference between heat and some of the psionics subpowers is that there are other objects, such as kanohi, that grant those powers on their own. Nothing besides the elemental power of fire allows someone to have heat powers. (besides heat vision, but that already has a page. ditto for the lava eels.) Intelligence4 (talk) 07:55, 14 April 2016 (CET)

Exactly! There are a handful of characters with heat powers, though. There are actually five characters/creatures who have non-fire heat powers. It'd be incredibly easy to make into a trivia section. Just add this:
*Beings such as Tyrant and Firedracax, as well as Rahi including Lava Eels, Hoto, and one of the First Rahi have heat-based powers. However, they cannot control fire.
That little bullet point just covered the entire Heat page. The only remaining issue is Krahka, who shapeshifted into a Lava Eel and used its heat power, but she's on the Fire page anyway, since she took Vakama's form as well. This page serves no purpose and makes Fire more complicated than it needs to be. -- Toa Jala Converse 06:56, 16 April 2016 (CET)
^Basically.
On another note, do hoto bugs even have heat powers, or is it more a result of their physiology? (like is it a "superpower" that they possess, or do their bodies just produce a lot of heat, similar to a (very) warm blooded animal in the real world? (don't answer that here, wrong place for that discussion...)) (The preceding unsigned comment was made by Intelligence4)
The difference between heat and vacuum is that we had a character who specifically had vacuum powers without having air powers, and we know it was indeed an actual "power". Intelligence4 (talk) 19:04, 18 April 2016 (CET)

On the other hand, not all beings with Air have Vacuum (for example: Rahkshi of Cyclone, Air Burnak). That's where I personally see a difference. -- Toa Jala Converse 02:50, 19 April 2016 (CET)

But the Hoto Bugs and the Lava Eels cannot control fire, but they have heat-based powers :) -- Surel-Nuva (Talk) 19:14, 30 April 2016 (CET)
There are so few cases of them though, and we're not even sure that the hoto bugs have fire "powers" per se. With powers like vaccuum, there are enough storyline instances of it to warrant it having its own page, but with heat, we can just transfer all that information to the fire page and reduce some clutter. What are the rules for how long a discussion goes on before a final decision is made? Intelligence4 (talk) 07:17, 1 May 2016 (CET)
I don't think there is a time limit. If a motion gains a certain number of votes (I think the number is 8 now), or if it has little or no opposition, it gets passed. I'm pretty sure it'll just stay up for as long as it needs to. -- Toa Jala Converse 01:16, 5 May 2016 (CET)
Technically there is one, but I'm way too lazy to enforce it. If it takes forever I'll probably remove it, but it's fine to stay up for a while. -- Dorek Talk External Image 01:24, 5 May 2016 (CET)

Okay, game-changer: it occurred to me that Plasma users also have heat powers. You can see the full conversation here. I'd like some more input, and until this gets more opinions, I'm withdrawing my vote to delete Heat. -- Toa Jala Converse 07:20, 28 June 2016 (CET)

Vahki Tools

I was looking at the pages for each of the Vahki, and noticed that their tools had their own pages - Staff of Loyalty is a good example. I think the info on each of the tools pages is short enough that we could move it to a section of the appropriate vahki pages - i.e. the staff of loyalty would be on the Bordakh page. What do you guys think? Intelligence4 (talk) 08:45, 29 May 2016 (CET)

Keep

  1. 'Cause we have more information about these than Bitil's Longswords. --Surel-Nuva (Talk) 08:53, 29 May 2016 (CET)
  2. We have pages for Onua's and Nuparu's claws. We have to list everything. -- Toa Jala Converse 09:05, 29 May 2016 (CET)
  3. --External Image 19:22, 29 May 2016 (CET)
  4. --Angel Bob (talk) 23:47, 30 May 2016 (CET)
  5. --Intelligence4 (talk) 07:35, 1 August 2016 (CET) I sort of disagree with myself now.

Merge

Comments

Before I go posting deletion notifications on the Vahki Staff pages (as protocol dictates), I need to know if a) this counts as a group nomination, which are against the rules, and b) this doesn't violate our format. -- Toa Jala Converse 09:05, 29 May 2016 (CET)

It's been almost a month. I assume that since the staff hasn't taken down this nomination, it's good to go. Posting Deletion notifications now... -- Toa Jala Converse 06:09, 22 June 2016 (CET)
On the other hand, it has almost been a month. Surely there's a time limit on these things for voting? I created this to start a discussion, but we have no merge votes and several keep ones. Should we just call it a keeper and be done with it? Intelligence4 (talk) 08:51, 30 June 2016 (CET)
Not up to us. Only staff can take down noms. -- Toa Jala Converse 05:16, 3 July 2016 (CET)
As usual, I'm none too fussed one way or the other. We have smaller tool pages (and I wouldn't count this as a group nomination).
If we were to merge, though, I'd still probably want a page on the weapons themselves (like Elemental Blaster) rather than just merging the info with the respective Vahki pages. -- Dorek Talk External Image 07:54, 3 July 2016 (CET)
So if we go through with this, would it be logical to assume that other "Team" tool sets are likely to be merged into one as well? Like all the Inika or Skrall tools would be put on pages?--Wiriamu (talk) 03:32, 19 July 2016 (CET)

No, i don't think so. besides, it's kind of a moot point anyway, since nobody has voted to merge, but we have several keep votes. Intelligence4 (talk) 07:34, 1 August 2016 (CET)

@Wiriamu: Definitely not. I think the point is that the Vahki are essentially different models of the same machine, and therefore their tools should be recognized similarly (an argument I could appreciate, but personally disagree with). The examples you gave were, as far as the story's concerned, completely different from each other. The Laser Axe and Energized Flame Sword were two different tools that served different, albiet similar, purposes. If anything, merging the Vahki tool pages would be like merging Vakama's Disk Launcher with the page for regular Disk Launchers. -- Toa Jala Converse 19:57, 2 August 2016 (CET)
someone just end this already lolIntelligence4 (talk) 07:27, 8 August 2016 (CET)

Template:SkullRaiderNav

I probably should have nominated this before merging it, but as you can see in Template:SkullCreaturesNav, the Skull Raiders and Skull Army can easily fit into the same navbox. I don't think we need separate templates. --Angel Bob (talk) 20:02, 14 August 2016 (CET)

Merge

Keep

Comments

Because the pages have been merged, we should just delete the SkullRaiderNav. -- Surel-Nuva (Talk) 19:28, 16 August 2016 (CET)

Earth Tribe

So I noticed that the Earth Tribe article and the Element Lord of Earth entry on the Element Lords page have apparently been deleted, but don't recall seeing anything on the page indicating that such a measure had been voted upon. Anyone know what prompted this?--Wiriamu (talk) 22:53, 19 August 2016 (CET)

The "Earth Tribe" was the placeholder name for the Iron Tribe -- Surel-Nuva (Talk) 00:10, 20 August 2016 (CET)
[This editor favors the deletion of the Earth Tribe page] --777stairs (talk) 23:46, 19 August 2016 (CET)
Yeah, I suppose that discussion went by pretty quickly, didn't it? I nominated Earth Tribe for deletion on the basis that it conflicts with previously established canon (namely, there being only seven tribes and six Element Lords), with the intent that we would vote on it. Dorek made the executive decision that this wasn't a discussion for typical AfD voting - to paraphrase his words, if it's not canon, it should be automatically deleted. So we had a discussion on Talk:Earth Tribe, and when we came to the conclusion that it wasn't canon, Dorek deleted the page (and Surel-Nuva and I purged all related information from other pages). Does that clear it up? --Angel Bob (talk) 01:01, 20 August 2016 (CET)
