User blog comment:RadheMohan69/Keeping Bird decor pages in Age of Empires series/@comment-27274076-20180718141450

I am one of the individuals the creator of this blog post is referring to, and as such, I will comment on the matter.

To address your points:
 * 1) Not a valid point to me. Bird is a very broad term, yes, but the birds referred to in the article have little to no impact on the games, so why would they get separate articles? We should always consider the necessity to the games and evaluate the relevance of the articles with a firm view to the games.
 * 2) I don't think the page would be cluttered at all. It should be enough to list the names of the different birds and then have pictures in the gallery. It should look fine.
 * 3) "more articles mean more information" I absolutely disagree here. The number of pages is not necessarily proportional to the overall 'amount' of information. For starters, if we merge all separate bird pages, but keep the information there, we'll have less pages, but the same amount of information.
 * 4) Isn't it obvious? A page that is not edited does not pop up it the changes. Page creations and the edit of pages with low traffic and prominence naturally raise attention. I personally just recently discovered a lot of pages that are not in use and attempt to clean up. Keeping this wiki organized, clean, neat, and friendly is key to me. The tree pages were pretty much the same, they unfortunately provided not much useful information. The relevant parts were kept, and now we have a neat informative Tree page.
 * 5) As you say the birds have no in-game history and cannot be interacted with. As such, don't you think listing them with the icon in the bird page covers all the information there is? The hit points can of course also be mentioned and the fact that they are available in the Scenario Editor.
 * 6) Other decor animals can be listed in the Animal page. I don't see a problem there.

On a final note I would like to say that I do not at all want to lose any information provided on the separate bird pages. Very short pages always appear lost and make a rather bad impression. I stand by my point, I do not want separate pages for decorative objects with no impact on the gameplay whatsoever.
