Feel free to add a new section for each subject you feel that has enough potential to warrant getting its individual article page. Also feel free to comment on existing propositions and share whether or not you think it is a good idea and why.

Meggie's book box
Meggie's book box is a wooden box that Mo made for her to carry her books on their long trips. It is painted poppy red, lined on the inside with black taffeta,and has a lid with the words "Meggie's Treasure Chest" painted on in black, cursive script.


 * For some reason I felt like I've given you my thoughts about this but could not find it on your talk page or its archive (the trouble of talking too much), but yeah, there's this page (← do not miss the link = =") on the to-be-merged wiki; it seems to me that that's all there is to say about the book box? I think (stressing the think) in Inkspell the box eventually could't fit Meggie's books cuz she started having too much notebooks on Resa's years in Inkworld, and I don't think she brought the box when she read Farid, Gwin, and herself into the Inkworld? I think it IS significant enough to be mentioned, but I'm not sure if it's significant enough for having a separate page, so I'll need more feedbacks on this. -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 18:49, July 11, 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, I agree. It* would end up being a stub. We can, perhaps, just add a blurb about it somewhere on Meggie's page. Where would you think it would be appropriate to mention it? Katherine Rebekah (talk) 20:53, July 11, 2015 (UTC)


 * Perhaps add an "Equipment" section before "Trivia"? Basta's page has it, although I think his page is the only one that has it atm lol. I may just import that page I showed to you (and than merge it with Meggie's) so that the editor can get some credit, too. Worst thing is that I think I'm starting to remember why I didn't start with merging with that wiki first when it actually has lesser pages D; Take a look (a glance is all that's needed, you don't have to read the entire page if you don't have the time) at its page for Mo and for Meggie; I don't think I've seen their bios being written like that anywhere else, so it looks like I'll be importing them to merge with existing pages here respectively, and I might as well do that for the book box. Thoughts? -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 21:51, July 11, 2015 (UTC)


 * Yes, that sounds like the best place for it, sense it's not really trivia. Honestly, I don't really see what is so unique about those. They seem relatively normal layouts*. Not to mention the inconsistencies between Meggie's bio and Mo's bio. But merge if you like, they seem to have salvageable content. Katherine Rebekah (talk) 23:00, July 11, 2015 (UTC)


 * KR, layout has never and IS NEVER the point of the talks in regards to MERGING; if you read accordingly what I've written above, I wrote: "I don't think I've seen their bios being written like that anywhere else"; I'm not exactly sure what you mean by the "inconsistencies between Meggie's bio and Mo's bio"; I'm guessing (this is guesswork so I can be completely wrong) you are talking about how Meggie's were sectioned out-of-universe style, while Mo's is more ideal? In that case, in case you've forgotten, THIS WIKI itself has suffered from this problem; the wrong writing style isn't really an obstacle of sorts, because it can be fixed; it's not like I'm going to import them here and just leave them unattended to, you know? xP If you haven't noticed, all of the past imports have be incorporated and merged within existing pages respectively.


 * I won't call them unique per se, the whole point is that they have contents that we don't; take Mo for example, the part after "Inkheart event" is more detailed than ours. So yeah, just to be perfectly clear that we are on the same page (idiom, not literally), this is a thread about potential articles and we are discussing about the subjects' content quality and whether they are good enough to standalone; since we've agreed "Meggie's book box" isn't significant enough to get its own page, AND SINCE our to-be-merged wiki already has a page for that, so SINCE I'll be importing THAT page to give credit to the original editor, I might as well be importing other usable pages in one go, and was just informing you about the inevitable. The "thoughts?" question, perhaps this is the one that is vague and confused you?


 * I'm sorry that it was not clear, and I think it's the placement of it that was causing the confusion. Basically the question that really needed your feedback is about whether to put the info in an "Equipment" section, which you've answered quite nicely so when I go merging I'll be sure to do just that. The second part about Mo and Meggie's page over there, is informing you that importing them is eventually going to happen, since they have stuff that we don't; the "thoughts?" question can still be applied, cuz if you've actually seen this content before, like, if the text is actually copied from somewhere else, THEN, that's a valid point of opposing the import. I am not understanding why "layout" is suddenly apart of this conversation, when the idea about this thread is all about "content"? Am I missing something? Or am I misunderstanding what you meant when you use the word "layout"? Please elaborate a little more when you have the time. I'm not mad or anything and this isn't urgent, I'm just genuinely not understanding some parts of your reply. -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 00:16, July 12, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hey, don't worry Sammm. I think you're thinking there is a miscommunication when there is not. I was just making an offhanded comment about the pages lay out, wasn't trying to change the conversation or say that you shouldn't merge that page. I agree, there is content that we need, so feel free to merge. I know you're not thinking of changing the lay out. :3 Katherine Rebekah (talk) 13:25, July 12, 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks for clarifying it in short sentences! But for future references, know that I take every word of our conversation very seriously, so try not to throw in comments that are not entirely related to the question that was previously asked, or it will be like just now, easily throwing me off the track and getting completely lost as to why the comment was there. -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 16:25, July 12, 2015 (UTC)


 * My apologies for any confusion. I will do my best to avoid this mistake in the future. Katherine Rebekah (talk) 02:12, July 13, 2015 (UTC)

Possible treatment
... Great, new information (← do not miss the link) came in and now I think I agree that perhaps "Mo's camper van" actually deserves a page... I'm still a bit torn though. Like I think its part at "Transportation" should definitely stay on Mo's page, but perhaps this part "The camper van is painted multiple colors. It has a bed, a table, a kitchen, and a bench to sit on. Meggie stated that the van was more home to her then any of the houses they had lived in, indicating that Mo has had the van for quite awhile." can be moved to the van's page, IF it does get a page. I'm hesitant because I don't fully understand what Cornelia meant by "Mo's bus had already appeared for The ThiefLord (in chapters i later on cut)"; the "later on cut" part.... Like, so was it actually in the story, or does she mean she cut that part out?? How do you interpret this? Even if it ends up not actually being in the final published version, I think that alone is a nice "Behind the scene" material, with the fact that the van also had a film appearance. My initial objection is that I don't think the van was that important after the first book, but I overlooked the fact that it at least has quite a bit history to write about during the first book.

So, just when I was writing all that, I came up with another approach. Like what eventually happened to "Alpine Antiquarian Bookshop" (becoming List of locations in the real world), what do you think of "List of miscellaneous‏‎ objects"? Or with a better name but for the same purpose of a list page housing subjects that most likely won't have a lot to write about. That ways, stuff you've listed on this page, like "Meggie's seal" and "Meggie's book box" can all be on this page. I think literature that had physical appearances can also be listed, and for the ones that had multiple mentions as well. People can come edit if sections have enough content, then they get their own pages. Thoughts? If you are for the list page option, I think I'll use the not-yet-imported book box page to rename it like how I did with the book shop page. -- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 21:56, September 17, 2015 (UTC)


 * Yes, I would interpret "Mo's bus had already appeared for The ThiefLord (in chapters i later on cut)" as meaning that those chapters, and therefor the van, never made it into the book. Plus, I read The Thief Lord and it's not in there. However, I think this new information is wiki worthy. Wether or not the addition of means we should make a page for the van is up to you. Would it end up being a stub article? I mean, it will be a really short page no matter how you slice it. So the question is if you're okay with that. I don't mind one way or the other.


 * I think that's a good idea. It would be a good home for things like the book box that don't have enough info for pages. And, like you said, we can always make them into pages if enough info comes up.
 * Katherine Rebekah (talk) 23:13, September 17, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hey! Thanks for the feedback! So I think in this case we'll go with the list page, now onto the name; are you able to come up with something better than "List of miscellaneous‏‎ objects" xDDD? Or do you think it should suffice?-- S a m m m ✦✧ (talk) 01:19, September 18, 2015 (UTC)
