I'm not sure I understand why this page is separate from Ars Magica. Would it make sense to combine them?
- Well, this page is intended to be a primer for Ars Magica, a reading guide and companion to the core rulebook to help ease new players into the game. This is quite a different role from the standard "Ars Magica" page, which in my opinion should include general information about Ars Magica, including some details about its history, publisher, and so on, for the casual viewer. I think these goals are best served by having two distinct texts, so that the two pages are justified.
- I can see the "Ars Magica" page expanded with a more in-depth explanation of Ars Magica, that would touch on many issues raised in the "Welcome to Ars Magica" page. However, that would still be a very different article from a primer. I can also see the primer incorporated into the main "Ars Magica" text and the "Welcome to Ars Magica" page deleted, but that would only be confusing for most readers in my opinion. I think it's best to leave a link to the "Welcome to Ars Magica" page on the "Ars Magica" page, as I've done. At least - that was my thought process. Yair 19:42, 20 August 2012 (MDT)
