Gilgamesh: Enough expository banter!
This talk page is used for discussing improvements to the page "Healing pot". It is not the place for general discussion or sharing stories about the topic of this article.

You can drink healing water from a tap in FFVIII. I'm not sure should it be in the this article? I think it is meant as an allusion to the old games where water heals you, so it'd worth mentioning someone and right now it is in the Healing Spring article.Keltainentoukokuu (talk) 12:27, April 25, 2013 (UTC)

Depends if you liken the tap closer to a pot or a spring. :P In all honesty, it should be included on both pages which makes me wonder, since they're such similar locations and serve the same function, why we don't merge them? - +DeadlySlashSword+ 12:54, April 25, 2013 (UTC)
They were merged until today...Keltainentoukokuu (talk) 13:11, April 25, 2013 (UTC)
They were? I must have missed this discussion... EDIT: Just found it on JBed's talk page. Not the best place for a discussion. Regardless, I'm going to throw my hat in the camp of "probably don't need to split". If we can merge have spells and weapons without having the same name on the same page, and given that "Healing pot" isn't even a name given in game, we can keep these together. - +DeadlySlashSword+ 14:53, April 25, 2013 (UTC)
Also I believe that why the "Healing pot" article came to being is that there was no redirect to the "Healing spring (location)" article and it doesn't hurt to have a redirect or two too many. And I don't think that they were merged, not at least fully as I don't see mentions of FFIV in the history for HS article.—Kaimi (999,999 CP/5 TP) 15:04, April 25, 2013 (UTC)
So...why wasn't Healing pot created as a redirect to Healing Spring? - +DeadlySlashSword+ 15:16, April 25, 2013 (UTC)
I think no-one has ever wondered that this might be 'popular'.—Kaimi (999,999 CP/5 TP) 15:34, April 25, 2013 (UTC)

I guess the healing pot was kind of an afterthought to the Healing Spring article, so not all pots were mentioned. But since the pots have healing power because they contain water from the healing spring, I'd say they are the same thing and could have remained on one article.Keltainentoukokuu (talk) 15:39, April 25, 2013 (UTC)
