Database pages[]

So, back in May I noticed we had the database pages for all royal correspondence letters. They were "orphaned pages", that is, pages without any other page that link to them. Because we had all the content from them in this page, I marked them for deletion.

Odey (The lovely XOdeyssusx) brought to my attention that both Illustrations and Pressed Flowers have both a page and their database entries and so we should keep the Royal letters too.

I don't think this should be the case. For one, both Illustrations and Pressed Flowers don't have their full database content in their pages - they lack the little byline (so to speak), which the royal corr. does not.

Moreover, we have several pages that fully contain database entries and not the entries themselves, like the codex pages from AC2, the scrolls of romulus from ACB, the sea shanties from BF and Rogue, the letters from BF and the cave paintings from Rogue.

However, this is a discussion we should have as a community, so we (Odey and I) would appreciate your input. - Soranin (talk) 01:16, June 28, 2020 (UTC)

I mean, they're not technically database entries? Aren't they just collectibles? But with them having their own pages it'd give something to link more to, See Victoria, Queen of the United Kingdom where I referenced the letters. V i l k a T h e W o l f (talk) 02:39, June 28, 2020 (UTC)

My biggest thing is whatever we choose I think we should remain consistent. I think for database entries that we compile into groups the article name should include Database in their title. Lacrossedeamon (talk) 03:27, June 28, 2020 (UTC)

Datamine Letters[]

Going through the game's text files, it seems like there were additional royal correspondences that never made it to game. They're spread throughout the game's messy text files, but from what I got so far, there are at least 6 additional letters that were cut out and never made into game.--Ninja Sheik 04:37, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
