Talk:Skull Kid
Few Issues with the OoT Skull Kid Article.
First, the Skull Kid transformation can't be compared to Stalchildren because it's already been established that Stalchildren are cursed soldiers. Although, this is what I also thought I think the evidence is against it. Two, the 3DS version changes it from kids to Kokiri, I'll grab the quote but don't have any text dumps at the moment. This might help the confusion.. --Smighty 09:49, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
- I propose we remove this entire "there is speculation" nonsense entirely. Speculation has no place in a Zelda Wiki article. Dekler (talk) 01:26, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
- I agree. This article references theories and speculation far more than appropriate. Tag it with Cleanup template? I'm not really in the mood to make such extensive changes to an article. Champion of Nayru (talk) 01:46, 8 November 2013 (UTC)Champion of Nayru
Separate the character Skull Kid from the species Skull Kid.
I suggest we split the article on the Skull Kid CHARACTER that appears in Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and Twilight Princess off from this article, leaving this one to detail the race as a whole. Skull Kid the character is a major antagonist/protagonist in Majora's Mask, and also appears in Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess. I'd say three different games as appearances is enough to warrant a separate article, especially for such a significant character to the Child Timeline. --I'm just a plain ol' Goron...Darth Nightmaricus (talk) 21:27, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
- My sandbox is an idea of what I think the page should look like, actually. --I'm just a plain ol' Goron...Darth Nightmaricus (talk) 22:01, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
- Okay, I think the page is ready to be split. --I'm just a plain ol' Goron...Darth Nightmaricus (talk) 00:02, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
- Move complete. --I'm just a plain ol' Goron...Darth Nightmaricus (talk) 00:17, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
- To be frank, I don't see how this is much of an improvement. :/ The two pages have a lot of overlap and I feel having the information spread over two pages like that is more confusing to readers than anything.
- Next time, could you please wait to see what others think about something before going ahead with it? You didn't give anyone the chance to have a say first and that's pretty important. It's a bummer if you spend time making a big change then find out the other editors don't like it and it ends up being undone. (Not saying that will necessarily be the case here, but it very well might be if the consensus is against the split). — Hylian King [*] 02:06, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

- The only time Skull Kid has ever been more of a race than a character was in OoT. Personally I think that's just enough for one section, as every other appearance of Skull Kid has just been one, which even then, there's no telling whether the one in TP is the same one from OoT/MM. It just makes more sense all of them sharing an article. I have to agree though. To make a split, especially for a big and somewhat popular page, there would have to be a census before any effort is made. I also really think that the next time you want to propose a split or merge, that you suggest it before you go ahead with the sandbox. It would save a lot of time. - Midoro (T C) 02:12, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
