→Question: what's wrong with redundant information?: new section
::Update: I've reverted this edit, due to 90% of the [[Villagers|Villager]] pages not having this, I also noticed that [[Sandy]]'s page has this as well, I am reverting this as well due to it not matching to other [[Villagers|Villager]] pages, have I done something wrong when doing this or not?

== Question: what's wrong with redundant information? ==
I noticed a few of your actions, e.g. the deletion of the quality page or the edit you repeatedly reverted on [[Cauliflower]], cited in their summary that the information was "redundant" or "already covered elsewhere", and I'm trying to understand why that's a problem. In my experience, some redundancy is inevitable with the sharing of useful information, and obviously there are central pages like the Crops page that provide information which you could also get from the individual pages. What's the difference there?
I'm partly asking because I would like to create a page for item quality, and would prefer not to have to redirect to the Crop Quality section of the Crops page, which is the only other place I see the Item Quality mechanic summarized (and not everything is a crop, so that feels out of place). I'm also wondering what you think of my own addition to [[Cauliflower]] (this being an example of where Quality page might be useful; I admit, however, that I forgot to preview my edit because I assumed quality would exist). Even if my contribution's not redundant except by the absolute strictest definition (as far as I can tell, cauliflower's use in the luau is only otherwise mentioned on [[Luau]])… IDK, I guess I just want to make sure I'm on the same page about what kind of contributions, particularly additions, are wanted, so I don't waste my time.
