:You'll get no argument from me. They may have made some sense back when they were first implemented with TBC and there was some question about keeping things separate, but there's really no such thing as expansion-exclusive content anymore; the number of people who don't buy the most recent one is vanishingly small, and everything earlier than that has been rolled into the free trial anyway. To say nothing of it being absolutely silly for lore rather than gameplay content. -- [[User:Dark T Zeratul|Dark T Zeratul]] ([[User talk:Dark T Zeratul|talk]]) 04:20, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

::Yea, expansion-exclusive content isn't really a thing here now except for the latest expansion. Though the one needle I have about this is Retail vs Classic. What if someone wants to know what lore/content it was just from Vanilla to Wrath (since TBC/Wrath Classics are possible) but we no longer have these tags to separate this stuff? {{User:Surafbrov/Sig}} 07:26, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

:::I don't mind using, they can be some kind of an additional and quick indicator for in which expac something happened, including story, but I don't mind getting rid of them either, since the text should also make it clear when something happened.

Forums: Village pump → Expansion tags for 2-3 sentences of content

This is excessive. Honestly, I've been tired of the expansion-section tags for a while now. I'd prefer to get rid of them all. If we must call out expansion-specific stuff, let's use ==sections==, but even that is a bit much. --Kaydeethree (talk) 04:02, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
