If you'll excuse me, I'd also like to help on the split of all the "Sevensages". Each of the group of Sages are indeed totally different characters, some have connections to Link's spirit, some related to Zelda, etc. I agree the pages should be split. Spoiler alert, I will start with the Seven Sages from {{ALBW}}... ;D --[[User:Prince Ludwig|Prince Ludwig]] ([[User talk:Prince Ludwig|talk]]) 15:37, 11 March 2014 (UTC) | If you'll excuse me, I'd also like to help on the split of all the "Sevensages".

:I think it is convenient for the readers that we have a general page for the sages, than forcing them to browse different pages to find the info. The page is not too long yet, although it is longer than most pages on the wiki (52K currently). Given that, I don't think the page should turn to a disambiguation page. Additional pages could be created of course.<br>I guess the OoT Sages could get a page, since their section is relatively big compared to the rest, and the TWW Sages could be split for the same reason. Also, if the OoT Sages are to be split, then I believe it would make sense if the Imprisoning War, ALBW and TP Sages were on the same page. TP may have 6 instead of 7 sages, but they seem to be a predecessor group of the OoT Sages (and also the "ancient Sages" Rauru references), and they are identified with the elements of the six sages in OoT.<br>I think the FSA maidens and the Lokomos can stay on the page, since they serve a similar function. Both of them are groups with the special task to protect the land and cleanse it from evil.

After they are rescued though they work together to remove the barrier from Ganon's Tower, and as descendants of the IW Sages they are more powerful, so I think they should be mentioned on the page.<br>Also, the page could be re-organized according to the timeline, the only problem being the ancient sages, because we don't even know at which point the group formed. Still, there should be a section for the Era of Chaos, during which Rauru built the Temple of Time. The problem is that we don't know whether the other ancient sages existed at that point. There is no mention of them in Hyrule Historia. My interpretation of the marks on Hylia's Temple is that they simply represent different aspects of the world, coupled with the Triforce, without which the world would collapse. Since Hylia's purpose was to protect the world, I think it makes sense.<br>To sum up: 1) Two additional pages: Sages (OoT, IW, ALBW, TP) and Sages (TWW), 2) Re-organization per timeline, 3) A discrepancies section mentioning that the ancient Sages were not the makers of the MS and the Temple of Time.
