Talk:Highlands
I'm wondering if this page, and also the page "The Highlands", should instead point to the Twilight Highlands directly. The new Chronicle vol. 3, on its page 199, makes it explicit that "the Highlands" was the name of the current Twilight Highlands area before the Cataclysm. Aardum (talk) 17:24, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
Has the Arathi Highlands been ever referred to as the Highlands? If not, what about having this redirect to the Twilight Highlands and having in the Twilight Highlands a {{for}} to the Arathi Highlands (and there one to the Twilight Highlands page)--Mordecay (talk) 20:41, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
I don't think it has. Your solution sounds great. Aardum (talk) 21:59, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
- I don't know, it's like if Loch redirected directly to Loch Modan. When generic terms such as these I usually prefer a disambig page. Xporc (talk) 11:40, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
- You of course make a great point, however I think the Chronicle changes the situation a bit. The Highlands, with capital H, is used multiple times in reference to the current Twilight Highlands, directly claiming that was the name of the area before Cata. "Loch" is never said to be the alternative name of Loch Modan. So it's not a completely identical situation. Highlands for me is a bit similar to Eastwealds - the name for a region before calamitous changes. And I think it deserves to be redirected as such :) Aardum (talk) 11:58, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
On second opinion, there are a few more highlands than simply the Arathi and the Twilight ones. Xporc (talk) 15:41, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
- So how about making "highlands" a category and redirecting Highlands to the Twilight one? :) I am looking for a good compromise here :) Aardum (talk) 15:52, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
- Given that "Highlands" is a bit generic, and never used in any media outside the Chronicle reference, I don't think it really needs to be a redirect. Most people are going to look for Twilight Highlands first and then see on the page that it was once just called the Highlands; it's going to be very rare that the inverse is true. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 19:06, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
