Duplicates?

There are two Ezabi pages: Ezabi and Ezabi the Banker. Should be merged? eslofe (talk) 14:29, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

No. One is the actual NPC that appears when the collectible is used (Ezabi), and one is the collectible itself (Ezabi the Banker). Factotum Commerce Delegate and its banker counterpart only have one page to each of their names because ZOS didn't give the collectibles and the NPCs different names. I know it sounds kind of silly, and I wouldn't be entirely opposed if someone proposed the idea of merging them. If I'm gonna be honest, I think the Factotum assistant pages don't look very good because we had to cram everything on there (the changes to how we're documenting furniture exacerbate that feeling; we've got 3 infoboxes on one page there), but I also recognize the benefit of having all of the information in one place.

Before doing anything, we would have to pick which name takes priority as the main article name for each assistant. If we decide to go ahead and merge Ezabi, we would also have to repeat these changes for every other banker and merchant barring the two I mentioned earlier. We might also consider labeling the sections each infobox is under so it's more clear to the lay-reader what each box means. -MolagBallet (talk) 20:50, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

Wow, yeah, confusing. If I was a casual user of the wiki, that nuance would not be intuitive to me and I wouldn't have thought that clicking either name would yield different pages/results. eslofe (talk) 23:22, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
