Category talk:Lists of codex skills

Delete?

I think we should delete all of the pages in this category. They provide no significant insight and only pertained to one day each, all over a year ago. Please post your opinion on this matter here. -- Kirbman 04:20, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

Is the existence of these pages a problem (i.e. does it clutter certain search results, does it have performance implications for the wiki, anything else?)

It's quite unlikely that someone will find these useful in the future, but deletion would remove any trace of the contained information forever. "They're old and may be useless" is not a strong enough argument for me. Tub 12:30, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

Agreed, unless there is some harm, I don't see a special need to get rid of these pages. While they don't provide current information any more, they are still some documentation of the past. poke | talk 13:00, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

Not quite true, Tub, admins can see and restore what was previously in deleted pages, but point taken. They certainly do show up in search results, although I don't know what could be searched that would cause them to clutter the search. They're also included in the pool for Special:Random and dynamic page lists. -- Kirbman 17:28, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

Though the discussion seems to have died, I'll put my input for future reference should this come up again: This should probably go into Category:Historical content since they're unlikely to be seen again (unless we start spotting a re-emergence of the selected skills? Idk how the system works), and like the pages in said linked category (along with Category:Unimplemented content), these do no harm and serve as a nice easter egg, and though this one less likely to be one compared to others, I feel they should be kept unless harmful to the wiki, as Tub and Poke stated.
