What is the purpose of spreading related information? Critical Hit and this guide discuss pretty the same topic, dont they? Do I care too little about the forum to understand? =Fleur (15.1.)

This guide contains a lot of good information, but is mostly the author's opinion, such as offensive and defensive strategies. I would like to keep the page Critical Hit limited to only facts about how it works in the game. I intend on creating a new namespace of "Guide:". These will be pages that contain not only facts but also opinions of the author like this guide does. --Seth 16:00, 15 January 2013 (CST)
That guide has many precious facts on crits, agreed, totally. And that's exactly y I dont c, that they don't fit into the article and need a seperate guide. Even fear u'r plan of a seperate namespace for further guides: if a topic is so complex and has so many facts about it, that one's lost without a guide, I'd c the need, but would still expect to find the main facts in its article.
