	: I agree. This site is not just about providing functional information about the game, but also historical information, such as how systems used to be.

			Sounds good. I think any such conflicts should be easy to resolve in how the articles are written. We could also do the [[article/old]] structure when needed, although it should be rare.

			For anyone else reading along, when the time comes to transition articles, the {{tlink\|obsolete}} template should be useful. I'm still not convinced that anyone besides us reads the town green though ;) --[[User:Farman\|Farman]] 18:17, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

			Since some skills are being removed completely and others are being combined, it's not so clear as in the past when most (all?) examples were skills that were simply renamed whole eg Transference skill.

			IMO the goal of Elanthipedia is to preserve information about DR, and that includes obsolete and discontinued systems. We preserve articles about old spells, and should do the same for old skills.

			So I propose that we keep old skill articles as they are, with a prominent link at the top of the article to the new skill. --[[User:Farman\|Farman]] 18:16, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
