Urhm... Well I'm just wondering if we really need this? Would it be better to merge this with the other 'Drinks' Articles? Just to reduce wide spread similar information. --Naut User Naut Dark Blue Monk.png 15:17, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Yeah I wan't sure either, but if we can expect it to be similar to GW1, each will need a page eventually, as well as a drinks page. ,,"Klumpeet",, 15:20, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
For now, I think we should merge all of them together under a 'Drinks' or something on those lines, due to these articles being EXACTLY THE SAME bar the name of the article. :L. --Naut User Naut Dark Blue Monk.png 15:22, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
Yeah ok, but what we have then is the problem of whether the term 'drinks' will be used... I'll go ahead and create it anyway. ,,"Klumpeet",, 15:26, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
...perhaps Alcohol instead, since that is what existed before and is all we know about...? ,,"Klumpeet",, 15:28, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
Yea, Alcohol is probably better. Due to some people putting "water" in there :P --Naut User Naut Dark Blue Monk.png 15:31, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
Around half way through making Alcohol, I thought something - Do we even know these are confirmed to be in the game? It seems quite speculative, since nothing has been confirmed that these are in game. --Naut User Naut Dark Blue Monk.png 15:49, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

(Reset indent) [[Sugary Blue Drink|Alcohol]] doesn't work. -- Konig/talk 16:53, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

I don't see any real need for these yet, for all we know that could just be flavor text, a little something for hardcore GW1 fans to look, read, and remember.--Corsair@Yarrr 22:17, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
Well, it's a bar sign, and we know we can go into bars. I'd say it's likely, we know ANet like to make fun of and reference themselves. But honestly, I could lean either way on having those pages. --Kyoshi User Kyoshi sig.png (Talk) 00:08, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
Unless they made the image just for the posts and see how we react to a bunch of translatable text (which I doubt), we'll be needing a page for each of the drinks - and if there is any kind of grouping of them, one of the combination. However, it was a bit preemptive to make these pages, and even more preemptive to make a grouping page; since we don't know how these work, we just know names.
Then again, I think people have been a tad bit too preemptive in a lot more - such as all these skill pages being made. All we have in most of them are just names, yet I find it funny how the same argument which could be used against them... is not. -- Konig/talk 01:45, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
Its true there is something of a double standard there, but for skills we have an actual mention and in many cases a few mechanics attached to them. Since this is a game and most people will be using the wiki for mechanics and game info.
I digress, these items haven't even been mentioned, let alone explained or shown. All it is is a translation taken from a screen shot that could reflect what the shop is selling. As you said, Konig, these pages are too much, too soon. I advocate taking them down, at least until the game comes out or they get a REAL mention by the devs or in an interview.--Corsair@Yarrr 03:18, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
While we could just simply delete then restore should they be in the game, I think we should just leave it and delete if it isn't in the game. Fewer annoyances for the admins/whoever else goes around deleting articles. -- Konig/talk 03:26, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
This page should stay (until it has been unconfirmed). Every object should have it's own page. Yes it is wise to place information on it in the alcohol page as well, but when people search for Spiked Eggnog, they should find this page, not alcohol in general Venom20 [User_talk:Venom20] 13:25, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
A wiki is for confirmed information only, Venom. If the idea was to create an article until it has been confirmed unaplicable then the wiki would be filled with a lot more pages that we know nothing about.--Corsair@Yarrr 04:11, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
