Illerai:Requests for merging/General Bentnoze
General Bentnoze
The only difference is location and positioning of the model. Many other NPCs who appear in multiple places use infobox switching to handle it instead of multiple articles.
Proposal is to merge General Bentnoze (Recipe for Disaster) into General Bentnoze. Additionally, the same merge would probably be made for General Wartface.

Support - This would be in line with some of the other articles for NPCs that take part in the RfD subquests. It seems some of them besides the General Bentnoze article are split up; they should also be merged. I don't think a thread to establish consensus is necessary for that as you would be following the example previously set and it wouldn't conflict with any policy. In many instances where the NPCs are linked in the context of the quest, the links direct the reader to the main NPC article instead of the RfD NPC article. Obviously this could be fixed by simply using the correct link in the guides, but it could also be solved by having one extra variant on the main article. I don't think there's anything unique enough about them that they need to be split. Curious to see any arguments against. User:Owl/Signature 01:57, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
Oppose - These pages are sort of dogshit right now and don't fully cover what the actual situation with rfd versions is. Merging would seemingly mean adding 2-5 different infobox versions to the "main" pages, which would massively clutter it with quest-specific infobox versions that I don't think belongs be on "main" npc pages. We'd also lose all standard infobox versioning and we'd need to use switch infobox which is pretty annoying imo but a relatively minor concern. There's also an issue of not being able to differentiate between the "main" npcs and quest-specific npcs in prose, especially given that in the case of rfd they all exist outside of the area at the same time as the "main" npcs.
