Hello fellow Hay Day Wikians,

I have talked with GorillaMan, one of our administrators of the wiki, and we have discussed some issues about the wiki's pages. Some points discussed included the duplication of information in some pages and redundancy of information. Duplicate information relates to information about a subject being inside of an infobox and inside the page itself. For example, in the Cow page the infobox lists the cost per cow, the price of cows, and what the cow produces. GorillaMan and I both noticed that the information is almost mirrored in the article itself.

Excerpt:

" Cost per cow:
 * Cows 1-5: 300 each
 * Cows 6-10: 600 each
 * Cows 11-15: 1150 each

"

As you can see, the information is duplicated, wasting space. We also discussed how deleting the duplicate content would cause the page to become something like the Milk page, with nothing in the article except for an infobox. That is another thing that pages shouldn't be like.

In regards to "over information", some articles explain aspects related to them which are already on another page. For example, on the Cow page Cow Feed and Milk are discussed, though the exact same information is used on their respective pages. We have links to other pages for this. I have a copy of part of the conversation if anyone wishes to read it.

It is in my Sandbox.

Thanks,
