Sidequest
Pointless article, possible candidate for merging with Role-playing game and/or Computer_role-playing_game. Jamyskis 11:00, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Bengt Olav Olsen 11:49, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge/redir to the latter (where it's most appropriate; pen-n-paper RPG is more freeform). Radiant_* 12:08, May 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * Not Delete -- sort-of neologism for which searches might be made, esp by those whose 1st lang is not English, but are trying to read an Engrish game manual --Simon Cursitor 12:46, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
 * redirect to Side-quest, which is a more common version of the same term. Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd 12:57, May 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge (and probably redirect) to Side-quest. The term is used in both pen-and-paper and video RPGs.  Not a neologism; commonly used in the 1970s, when video gamers could role-play nothing more complex than a tennis ball (PONG).  Barno 13:09, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Side-quest. The term is still used in video RPG's, but it would be so nice if all of the matter in Side-quest were merged and redirected to Role-playing game.  With redirects, people can still search, and we ought not be so very granular.  Is there really something to say about genres, development, and history of the side-quest?

 * Merge/Redirect to Side-quest per Andrew Lenahan. &mdash; RJH 16:25, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
 * merge and redirect per Andrew Lenahan. I would oppose merging side-quest, though. Meelar (talk) 21:03, May 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to side-quest. -Sean Curtin 05:53, May 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Andrew. This is a big enough aspect of RPGs to warrant it's own article, but not big it's already got an ok page there.-LtNOWIS
