Talk:Stone Barrel (Ex Nihilo)

Merge with Barrel (Ex Nihilo)?
I was thinking about merging Stone Barrel with Barrel (Ex Nihilo) but I can't find a Merge template to get feedback. Should we just be bold about merges?

Barrel and Stone Barrel have exactly the same functions (anything you can do with one you can do with the other) so it would be nice to put all the functions in one place. The only differences are their crafting recipes and their reactions to being filled with Lava.

 * For a merge like this I probably would wait for some feedback first. Posting on the talk page like this is the right way to get such feedback. If the mod has a curator, then usually it would be up to their discretion, but I don't think we have a curator for Ex Nihilo yet. 22:24, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Curators aren't really relevant here, like you said. And feel free to be bold! :P (unless it breaks every page on the wiki though)
 * We generally (or at least I generally) don't merge articles unless it's much easier to have an article being merged than it not to be merged (like Drill (Actually Additions), having one page for each Drill would be silly). I don't think there's really much need for them to be merged, since users are probably more likely to look them up independently, and because it's easier to have them be separate. -Xbony2 (talk) 00:43, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Note: I've never used Ex Nihilo. After reading both articles, I think in this case a merge is very much justified. The things basically act identically, except that the Stone one can hold lava. That can easily be described in the Barrel (Ex Nihilo) page, as well as either listing the recipes separately, or by using a table with some way to indicate that it requires the Stone variant. --  Satanic Santa 🎅F T B Wiki Admin 01:21, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
