This book is detailed. There is such a wealth of trivia here - a full list of guilds and their heirarchies, merchants, traders, retailers, institutions, courts, even retirement homes for trolls and dwarves - that it is going to take time to transfer it all over to the Wiki. And did I mention the updated Mapp "Streets of Ankh-Morpork" that comes free with the book?

My first thought was how to keep people from listing hundreds of pubs (there may be four pages of new ones), but should we publish pages of minutiae because the book doesn't get any heavier? It's a matter of how you use it, I suppose. I prefer a more concise article in which it's easier to find likely search objects, but a repository of every known thing TP ever mentioned could be valuable, too. The wiki system should allow both, but I can't think how to do it and enforce the protocol. --Old Dickens (talk) 18:15, 16 November 2012 (PST)
