Include more colours?

In my absence, it would seem more colour articles were added, such as Starry and Skunk. I've refrained from doing such things, because it would mean to eventually make an article about "Red", which seems rather redundant. What do the rest of you think? --Jacob 20:11, 16 Jun 2008 (CDT)

I believe the line is being drawn at PB colors or possibly "non-plain" pb colors... meaning not brown or purple or pink... etc... If you must have an article for all of the colors, we could have a single article for the "Basic colors"... if one doesn't exist yet. Although the petpet lists for these colors could be interesting, as well as lengthy. :S Welcome back. --Cath 21:50, 16 Jun 2008 (CDT)

I agree with Cath - Another alternative name will be "Plain colours". By the way, welcome back - You have a LOT of catching up to do. ;) --SwordFire ^{( talk | contrib )} 00:51, 17 Jun 2008 (CDT)

I'm the one who has been making the new colour articles. I asked a question similar to this over on the Rainbow Pool Talk Page. I was told that it would be okay for me to write articles on "unique" colors, so I have been continuing to do so. However, I personally think that we should have an article on each colour, even the "natural" ones like "Red". I have two main reasons for this:

The first is that colours are a very integral part of the Neopets game. I've seen users scrimp and save for paint brushes, zap their pets for months hoping to get a good colour, and troll the pound for hours looking for a correctly coloured pets. Because colours are so important to the game, I think that having articles for each colour is just as valid as having articles for each Neopet species.

My second reason is that colour pages are elegant segue-ways from one Neodex article to another. I think that many people will agree with me that one of the best parts about reading a wiki is clicking through a chain of wiki link to "drift" from one article to the next. Because colours are mentioned in so many articles, they are excellent pathways for "wiki diving." For example, I could easily get from Sophie's article to Lyvon Cibaire's article if we had a "Green" article.

Yikes! This is a long comment. I hope people can read through it all without getting bored. :P --Emeraldosprey
