This has been raised before, but our trading card articles are, in my opinion, the dumbest feature we have. And yes, even though I was the one to come up with the idea, and yes, I was the one that fully supported it, I feel these trading cards are dragging us down. While the number of articles are just a handful of SWGames' normal articles, there's really no reason to have them on this wiki. The reason I initially came up with the idea is because trading cards are games, too. And now that I think about it, we'd also have to have information on board games and the like if we keep these trading card articles, as if trading cards are a game, board games are very much the same. What I'm proposing is that we not delete these trading card articles, but rather merge them to a place much better suited; the Star Wars Merchandise Wiki. Beyond that, there's not much to add. I just believe that if these articles are moved out of here, this wiki will become a lot more useful. _supergeeky1 ^{The Cantina} 02:54, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

2. In my oppinioun we should be for video games and maybe minor information on RPGs (although that's being discussed at the minute anyway) no for trading cards etc as the info we have on trading cards isn't suited to a gaming wiki really, the style of them is far better off on SWMerchandise. _Hunterj^{Hunterj's Palace | What I've Proofread} 13:32, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Option Three: Keep the trading card articles on SWGames and copy them over to the Star Wars Merchandise Wiki in addition

1. Ya, I say this, however scince they are games they should be here but mabey combine each brand and issuing thingy of cards on one page instead of a page for each card. Kinda like kotor weapons. So lets say card brand a has line issue Jedi Knights of the New Republic. All the cards of that issuing of line go on the Jedi Knights of the New Republic Card Game under the article Brand A cards. _{Fell Skyhawk} ^{Debriefing RoomStar Map}03:02, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
