I've been working on the List of Wishes article pretty hardcore this last week and intend to greatly expand upon it. I thought I would ask if anyone thought it would be a good idea to add incomplete entries to a section in the talk page rather than on the main page? My definition of incomplete would be lacking the three primary pieces of information, excluding the Wish Icon. My reason being that anyone can remember the name of a wish and simply adding more mostly empty entries is just creating more work. Anyone else who sees one in the game and adds it without the description or point value is just being lazy. Id rather have a clean article than an empty table with incomplete information. (Ie look at my Into the Future section compared to the Generations section.Willlamme1988 (talk) 20:13, May 3, 2014 (UTC)

Discussion[edit source]

Personally, I would err towards including the information even if it's not complete. Adding it to the article allows other users to fill in the missing pieces, whereas if it's placed on the talk page, other users might not notice it. Try to use the {{Expand}} tag on sections that are missing information. -- LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 22:43, May 10, 2014 (UTC)

Going with what Liron just said, I'd rather we just add the information to the article itself rather than to the talk page. Ѧüя◎ґ (talk) 22:50, May 31, 2014 (UTC)
Joining the bandwagon. Also per WP:WIP and WP:IMPERFECT. Even Wikipedia doesn't hesitate to admit that some of their own articles are complete rubbish, so there's no reason why we shouldn't. --k6ka (talk | contribs) 00:15, June 2, 2014 (UTC)

Conclusion[edit source]

The majority opinion is that information should be added to articles whether the information given is finalized or not. Ѧüя◎ґ (talk) 04:44, June 26, 2014 (UTC)
