Stabbers comment in my userbox regarding merging this page, and Category:PvP tactics: "The delete tags are only to be used for obvious deletion requests such as housekeeping or vandalism. For everything else propose the deletion in the talk page please. For Tactics (PvP), there is an excellent reason for keeping it: targetting users to an amorphous category blob from the main page is less than helpful. This page should be treated as an introduction to items in the category. S 21:07, 12 February 2007 (PST)"
- Why not put the description from the Tactics (PvP)) above the amorhous category blob of Category:PvP tactics. And treat it as an intorudction to items in the category. ? I think that would be a great idea :)--Narcism 21:14, 12 February 2007 (PST)
- Because category pages are not articles. S 21:15, 12 February 2007 (PST)
- Well can we name the differently? Ones tactics pvp, and the other is pvp tactics... ?--Narcism 21:19, 12 February 2007 (PST)
- No, because disambiguation in category pages looks awful. I would rather see "PvP tactics" at the bottom of a tactics article than "Tactics (PvP)". There is a reason the article is disambiguated -- the Tactics attribute. Strictly speaking, I would prefer the article to be renamed to "PvP tactics" if we must have a foolish consistency. "Tactics (PvP)" is preferable because you can write
"blah blah blah [[tactics (PvP)|]] blah blah", and it gets turned into "blah blah blah tactics blah blah" automatically (i.e., the wiki software automatically strips the disambiguation for you). S 21:23, 12 February 2007 (PST)

This is incorrect: "This differentiates it from strategy, which is entirely carried out before the game based on the current metagame." Strategic decision-making occurs during the progress of a game as well. For instance, a decision to split or to turtle is strategic, whereas a decision to bodyblock a runner is tactical.
[edit] Move to "Guide to PVP?"
I think this would be a good move, the current article is too closely related to the tactics attribute. With this move, we'd be able to provide a more accurate range of assistance towards players, than just discussing what pvp 'tactics' are. (Terra Xin 08:06, 9 September 2007 (UTC))
I agree that this page should be moved.

- i disagree but only b/c the article itself is not a guide. this article is written more as a definition. it doesn't actually outline any actions that should be taken once the player gets into pvp. if it was written to actually instruct readers, then i'd be all for it. --VVong|BA 21:29, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
- Perhaps "PvP Tactics" would be a better move

- Dis-regard my last comment.
