Disambiguation
This term existed before the card game. There is a disambiguation page. Stop changing the redirect away from the disambiguation page. You're disregarding Wikipedia best practices. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.116.49.179 (talk) 00:43, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

Relocation
Would moving this article to Eventide (card boxset) or something to that effect be a good idea. I think it would be a good idea to make way for a redirect page and an Eventide company page 82.36.131.189 (talk) 12:09, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Which eventide company page? C mon (talk) 12:42, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Eventide are a manufracturer of guitar pedals and studio effects... They'd almost certaintly meet notability criteria if anybody bothered to make the page. 137.222.31.137 (talk) 10:52, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Meaning of expansion symbol
"An mostly eclipsed sun rising under a horizon"? Sounds like original research to me. And does "rising under a horizon" make any sense? Ming Hua (talk) 00:34, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, you could be very well right. We've got a funny little tradition of arguing about the expansion symbols here on Wikipedia, and I think a failure to mention this one (given the similarities to Morningtide) is going to a magnet for surmise, and so I think we need something. I tried to be neutral-ish, but I'm pretty sure what I wrote isn't great. I'm going to ditch the horizon bit. Let me know how it seems without that. JamesLucas (talk) 21:23, 14 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the change. While I'm still not convinced that the symbol is an eclipsed sun (even the most recent article by Mark Rosewater only said "opposite" and "mirror image", without clearly identify what it is), I am okay with the current wording, at least it implies the meaning is still unknown for now.  I also added the set size, it was in the announcement.  And by the way, I think the expansion symbol is a moon. Ming Hua (talk) 23:50, 18 February 2008 (UTC)


 * The rays make me think not, but Mark's words certainly leave the door open. Let's hope creative doesn't leave us hanging.  Thanks for the set size.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by JamesLucas (talk • contribs) 23:17, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Magic Online
Previously, I've added this to the Morningtide and Shadowmoor talk pages. I'm now adding it here as well for discussion; I think this is something Magic Wikipedians should seriously consider. For future releases: Should we also start including Magic Online release information for the sets? Argument: Very recently Wizards has stated that Online makes up for a surprisingly big part of the 'scene' - multiple tens of percents of revenue! Such an important part of the scene should warrant their own release information featured in the articles. Matti Nuortio, Oulu, Finland (talk) 11:50, 28 February 2008 (UTC)


 * This seems like a practical addtion. Obviously there is an Online release date, which could be right at home with the other set information in the infobox.  Are there any other Online-related facts that you think merit inclusion? JamesLucas (talk) 02:55, 3 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, it seems that usually sets have the following details listed: release date; dates of prerelease events; other set details such as size and keywords. All the other set details are same for Online and cardboard sets, so they don't merit separate inclusion. Release date is different, so that could be listed separately. There are also release type events for Online sets, but whether these merit separate inclusion, is up to debate. Matti Nuortio, Oulu, Finland (talk) 13:06, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Orb of Insight
How should I reference knowledge from the Orb of Insight in the article? While the visual spoiler (the 4th reference) confirms that Wither will be in the set, the Orb confirmed that Persist will be on 4 cards.Tandalo (talk) 15:11, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd suggest using a cite web with a text note at the end explaining how to get the results. On the other hand, some might consider using the Orb to be original research for sourcing those claims, so it'd be safer in the long run to wait 'til WotC previews something with Persist.
