Talk:Proxi
Should Legends be included?
Starting the discussion page, rather than arguing in edit comments. Link Lab and I seem to disagree over the inclusion of Hyrule Warriors Legends under 'Game(s)'. The 'conversation' has gone as follows:
- Link Lab: "Listing HWL isn't necessary as her appearance in HWL is no different to HW"
- [removes HWL and cleans up language regions]
- D0xis: "HW and HWL are in fact two different games"
- [re-adds HWL and adds to language regions]
- "Yes but unless there is a substantial new appearance, which there isn't, her appearance in HWL does not need to be noted in the infobox. Do not undo this again."
- [reverts change]
To clarify: I am creating this as a way to properly discus this matter. Such discussions should not be had in the editing comments. I still believe there is enough notable difference between the games (and more specifically Proxi's roll) to include it. I will be re-adding the meaning to the English name, but until we reach a consensus, I will refrain from adding HWL. ~D0xis of the V0id~(T|C) 15:38, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
- Hmmm I can see why people would think it'd be redundant to add Hyrule Warriors Legends. It'd kind of be like adding Navi's appearances as Ocarina of Time and Ocarina of Time 3D. Not sure about Proxi though since I haven't played HWL so I'm not sure how different the games are. I know HWL added new stories and such, so if it's different/new enough from HW, then I don't see how it could do any harm to also add it under her appearances infobox. --Dany36 (talk) 15:47, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
- That's the point I'm trying to make here. Legends has exclusive DLC (yes, with Proxi) that add more to her character... Not much more, but let's be fair, how much is there to know about a talkative fairy companion. At very least, she has new dialog.

- I think Chuck's wording is way more vague than he intended. Proxi has nothing that warrants HWL's inclusion on her infobox that doesn't also warrant its inclusion on the infobox of >90% of the other characters/HW content and warrant the inclusion of remakes on a lot of other pages. All the HW characters (besides Link and Young Link) got new dialogue. Almost everything in the base game appeared in HWL exclusive content. We're not adding HWL to almost every page with HW as it is incredibly redundant so we can't add it to Proxi. As far as I'm concerned, the only characters that should have both HW and HWL are those that appeared in both games simultaneously. — Link Lab (Talk) 21:09, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, you lost me a bit there. What I'm understanding from what you say is that HWL would need to be added to all the other character pages that this applies to. I see nothing wrong with that, as long as they have MORE content (in this case dialog) from Legends. Proxi being a prime example, due to her speaking for Link. As for everything in HW being in HLW, would that not make Legends the better choice? Legends contains more than the base game, but not the other way around. By that logic, Legends should be the game listed, being the game with more content. On the other had, HW obviously came first. Think about it this way, Legends is kind of like a Master Quest. Same basic game, but with more to it. Maybe not the best comparison, because Legends has more story as well. ~D0xis of the V0id~(T|C) 14:41, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
Nomenclature
So, I've removed the nomenclature about Proxi's name, but it is very obviously a spin on "Proxy", we know this, however, how exactly does everyone think this should be included? Should it have a dictionary definition with a source? If so, which definition? Hylian pi (talk) 06:55, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
- I think the manner it was before you removed it was fine, though if we want to add a citation for the definition, we can use Merriam-Webster. TriforceTony (talk) 08:22, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
