Money making guide/Taking from the infinite money bag
They are the same, and Getting infinite money is more detailed.

Do not merge, rename "Getting infinite money", as it is non-specific — I found Money making guide/Taking from the infinite money bag to be more useful. I learned about this funny item yesterday, and my first question was how much money could be generated from taking coins from the bag. I was pleased to see this was correctly answered further down the page:
The guide is a short but thorough article, detailing the technical limitations on why you can't make 10000000000 gp/hr by dumping the bag upside-down (as was my first thought). It is as detailed as it really can be, even going into the real-world variable length of the average tick. It is succinct and to the point regarding the limitations of the infinite money bag.
In contrast, the "getting infinite money" Money Making Gudie details a more creative (but less relevant) method of making money by combining taking coins from the bag with also picking up coin spawns at a specific location. This number is higher, and although it could be additionally mentioned under "Infinte money bag"'s money making section, it should be called something like "Money making guide/Taking from the infinite money bag while picking up coin spawns in Varrock West bank" for clarity. It has less to do with the item, and more to do with someone's imagination of what the bag could be combined with for optimal money, in a universe where it is pretended that this is even vaguely a good money maker.
Since the methods are different, the numbers from both money making methods are different, and the lower number is more useful for answering the question of "how many coins can you get from the bag in an hour?", I would not like to see the two methods merged into one guide, which cannot support more than one GP/hr number in it. —Logg(talk) 15:55, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
Do not merge - Reverse merge Money making guide/Getting infinite money into Money making guide/Taking from the infinite money bag. I believe the content of "Getting infinite money" is more detailed, but the page name "Taking from the infinite money bag" is more appropriate due to its specificity, and the name follows our money making page name precedent "[action] [from/the/] [thing]".
I personally think it is OK to list the additional "optimisation" of also picking up the coin spawns in the "Taking from the infinite money bag" guide. However I would also support the creation of a "Taking from the infinite money bag while picking up coin spawns in Varrock West bank" guide to hold the information on this alternate strategy. 🐺 Wolfizen (talk) 00:06, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
