Forums: Village pump → Auberdine + Ruins of Auberdine

Hi, we had a discussion with some of the other users about Auberdine and the Ruins of Auberdine. I made a larger update for the first article, fleshing out the available lore. However, as per currently, lore beyond the Cataclysm expansion is added to the second article only. I think it creates unnecessary confusion and does not serve a purpose to keep the two separated.

In some cases, it's clearly important to keep two "versions" of the same place separately - i.e. Capital City and Ruins of Lordaeron. However, in some cases, such as Southshore/Ruins of Southshore or Auberdine/Ruins of Auberdine, I think a merge would be for the best.

What do you think? Thanks, Aardum (talk) 14:12, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
