Talk:Swamp skiff

Clarification

The swamp skiff and "blasting vehicle" (or whatever it's called) are two different vehicles. The swamp skiff has larger engines and a flame thrower (and was, in terms of "lore", probably a vehicle that belonged to someone who lived in Haiti, rather than directly to Mz. Ruby) and the blasting vehicle has a much sleeker design, a blaster, and was created with material found in the Krakarov Volcano, which led the gang to Clockwerk.

They're two separate vehicles and should have two pages. -User:Tenbeat (talk ¤ contributions) 21:34, September 2, 2018 (UTC)

Or, perhaps making that clarification. Since the blasting vehicle was more often used (twice, as opposed to once for the swamp skiff), the name should be changed, and then have that clarification in the opening paragraph. "The blasting vehicle and swamp skiff were vehicles that appeared in Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus," etc. We'll then need an image of the actual swamp skiff to put in the infobox using tabs, and make the proper clarification within the article itself. Finally, the page "swamp skiff" will be a redirect leading to "blasting vehicle." -User:Tenbeat (talk ¤ contributions) 21:38, September 2, 2018 (UTC)

Well, perhaps the first option (creating separate pages) would be better. I just looked at both vehicles in the strategy guide and they do indeed look completely different from each other. Though, the guide refers to both vehicles as 'swamp skiffs', they do look different and serve different functions.

As for the second option, if the page was to be named Blasting vehicle, it probably wouldn't make sense trying to mention the swamp skiff (since it doesn't include a 'blasting' function)... unless we pick a title that would refer to both vehicles (which may be impossible). Otherwise, giving them their own page should be the preferred choice. RB1196 (talk) 01:22, September 3, 2018 (UTC)

I agree, two pages is the preferred option for me as well. -User:Tenbeat (talk ¤ contributions) 01:45, September 3, 2018 (UTC)

Navbox?

This goes for the other vehicles such as the hover blaster, but would the swamp skiff go under the general Sly 1 navbox, possibly with a new vehicle section? Or should there be a different navbox for the vehicles? FinalSmash11 (talk) 00:31, February 6, 2019 (UTC)

Hmm, not sure. If we make a vehicle navbox, would there be enough vehicles to fill it? And if we decide to go with a vehicle section in the Sly 1 navbox, would it feel pointless with so few vehicles? I do agree that it should be in a navbox though. -User:Tenbeat (talk ¤ contributions) 06:26, February 6, 2019 (UTC)

Maybe they could go in the "Terms and gameplay" section for the time being? FinalSmash11 (talk) 02:41, February 7, 2019 (UTC)

Is it okay if they go in the "Terms and gameplay" section for now? FinalSmash11 (talk) 01:04, February 8, 2019 (UTC)

Given that there are so few vehicles (some of which appear several times throughout the series), they probably should. RB1196 (talk) 17:16, February 8, 2019 (UTC)

Yes go ahead. If you think something should be done and people agree, you can do it. I'm an admin, but that doesn't mean I have the final word. This is a community-driven wiki, not an individual-driven one. Just for the future. -User:Tenbeat (talk ¤ contributions) 04:42, February 9, 2019 (UTC)
