Talk:Wandering Spirits

In regards to https://lastepoch.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=Wandering_Spirits&type=revision&diff=5457&oldid=5456 this was the response I'd received from trasochi on the discord when I asked if they were minions: "Wandering spirits are minions (though they're technically not on the back end) and scale with more minion damage." --GeoGalvanic (talk | testspace) 22:33, 2 July 2018 (UTC)


 * The wiki is about the game, not the code.
 * If gameplay is affected, then it should be documented. If someone wants to throw the distinction into a Trivia section, I'm not opposed to that. However I was - and am - of the opinion that the previous revision was likely to cause more confusion than it eliminated. The average person reading that isn't likely to understand what you mean by them being "not actual minions" - but they will assume the distinction is relevant to them since the wiki editors deliberately brought their attention to it.
 * tl;dr: Wikis cover notable content and I don't believe that this qualifies. — sarno | TALK | 22:53, 2 July 2018 (UTC)


 * The difference to me is that due to the lack of data on the minions and the fact no such data exists to be found (due to not being considered as such) I am reluctant to create a separate page for them (which would be a more appropriate way to reference Wikipedia's notability guidelines). As a reader, I would expect to find information about minions on a page about a skill that summons said minions. The reference is intended to explain why the discrepancy exists (otherwise they would assume that information is missing). Probably not the best wording, but I'm unsure of better phrasing to approach it, something like "The minions summoned by this skill are untargetable and immune to damage. As such they have limited observable stats compared to other minions." --GeoGalvanic (talk | testspace) 00:19, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
