Thanks for your contributions to the Wiki, Ramen.  I'm going to let Jim decide and/or redirect the old article, if he wants to switch from an article to a category for this topic.  (In the meantime, it creates a bit of confusion as to having two pages that duplicate the same information, as people won't know which to edit.  It's better for a change like this to be transacted completely.)

I do think your last edit makes things a bit ambiguous, though, so I'm going to revert that.  Each helper has a specific job, and it might be good to describe it on the same page.  Stating that 'other helpers do other jobs, such a, b, and c' makes it seem that the others each do a, b, and c.
 
  
In general, an ''article'' about helpers consolidated all the information on ''one'' page, instead of forcing people to navigate to categoried sub-articles, to read up on specifics about each helperWe might not want to split up articles into separate pages, as it creates too many links for people to have to navigate, to find information, '''''especially''''' if they don't already know what each named Helper does.

Obviously this page is going to need a lot of cleanup... for now it is mostly a scattering of notes that I added as I came accross themI don't think we have a clear picture of how helpers work yet, though. --[[User:Jimmcq|Jimmcq]] 03:46, 6 September 2006 (EDT)
  
I do agree though that the wording could be cleaned up a bit. --[[User:FeralKitty|FeralKitty]] 01:26, 5 September 2006 (EDT)

So apparently helpers can have a drawback too...

I'm not sure on where to draw the line between having all the info on one page and breaking them out into separate pages... For now we don't know a whole lot of info so it has made a little more sense to have them all together... but I think eventually they may need their own pages.  We already had Storkos on a separate page, so I guess it could make sense to have the others on their own pages too.  --[[User:Jimmcq|Jimmcq]] 01:35, 5 September 2006 (EDT)

Or maybe the foxes ''knew'' that Seedos would do that.  At any rate it's just one of the things that makes this game so interesting.  Having workers make mistakes is just a part of real life.  Anyway if each helper has a certain drawback(that happens over and over) it may be worth noting.

I think if there's a lot of information that needs to be added for each helper, then it makes good sense to split it off.  But the downside is that people who are looking for information, now need to know which of six or seven specific pages to read.  Just trying to avoid more complaints that information is hard to find, and there are too many links to navigate.  Thanks for the REDIRECT!  --[[User:FeralKitty|FeralKitty]] 01:42, 5 September 2006 (EDT)

Need to re-organize this stuff:
 +
*Leafos, Seedos, and Storkos are "Family Members".
 +
*Sprinkling, Weedling, Gatherling, etc. are "Helpers".
 +
*All of the Shop keepers, etc in the village are "Service Providers".
  
I Agree.  --[[User:Jimmcq|Jimmcq]] 01:46, 5 September 2006 (EDT)
