Move[edit]

Sorry Konig, I do not count Summary opinions :P.

Imho this page should be moved to "The Origins of Madness", because now it is a permanent addition to the game and thus more people will be inclined to search for achievements than a release that is 7 years old (hello No Quarter!). Achievement categories absolutely do not have to have (achievements) if there is no article named like that, and permanent content should have a priority over 8 years old stuff, especially a temporary release that is. ~Sime 12:41, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

I agree with the move for the reasons stated by Sime above. Sunlion (talk) 20:04, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
I disagree on convention of naming consistency. With exception of Tower of Nightmares and The Edge of the Mists (which are in-game locations), all release pages have taken precedence despite the fact that Season 2 onward had permanent achievements. If we were to move this one, I would recommend moving all pages from the Season 2, Season 3, Season 4, and Icebrood Saga and maybe even festivals and Season 1 to where the achievement page has naming priority. I see no reason for The Origins of Madness achievements to be moved, while we have Gates of Maguuma (achievements), Out of the Shadows (achievements), Daybreak (achievements), and Whisper in the Dark (achievements).
If you're willing to move and fix links for 52 articles (26 releases * 2 for both release and achievement articles), then I'd agree on the move. However, I stand by the opinion of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Konig (talk) 02:33, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
"I see no reason for The Origins of Madness achievements to be moved, while we have [episode names]"
Except the episodes/releases you named are permanently available to all players, unlike season 1? And we have bots, fixing 52 links is nothing. ~Sime 14:28, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
I mean, by this point, all of The Origins of Madness except one story instance is now permanent, whereas several small pieces of Season 2 releases (undestroyed Village of Prosperity, vines attacking waypoints) are similarly MIA, so I'm not sure the difference when comparing?

I'm also for not moving it to keep the naming consistency. I'm not for the move all option though. I'd add {{otheruses|the [[Living World]] episode|the achievement category|The Origins of Madness (achievements)}} to the top of The Origins of Madness for quick navigation to the achievements and otherwise leave articles where they are.

I "resolved" this move request today. Kept the pages in their initial place and added links/otheruses and changed the intro of the achievement page. —Kvothe (talk) 16:26, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
