Since I don't want to start an edit war, I hope he'll chime in here and give his own thoughts on the matter. Again, I have no preference regarding "keeping it all on the US toyline page" versus "having it all on its own separate page". The only thing I insist on is that we have the BWII and BW Neo toys on whatever page the Japanese year 1 BW toys are, since they were all branded as the same toyline.--[[User:Nevermore\|Nevermore]] ([[User talk:Nevermore\|talk]]) 15:08, 2 August 2020 (EDT)

			:::::I kinda feel like [[Generation 1 (Japanese_toylines)]] should be the model where we have a hub page linking to a general Beast Wars toyline page (encompassing BW, BWII and Neo) and a seperate page for Metals since the branding was different. That's where the line was drawn with Return of Convoy and Operation: Combination. But also not sure there's enough content to bother splitting Metals out. --[[User:Tigerpaw28\|Tigerpaw28]] ([[User talk:Tigerpaw28\|talk]]) 18:38, 9 September 2020 (EDT)

	::I don't think we have the ability to merge pages here. (I asked about it some time back and was told that that function wasn't in our copy of mediawiki. That may have changed.) I think the best thing to do is to simply create the new page (with a note in the edit history and on the talk page) and convert all the old pages to redirects to it while placing "Do not delete" notes on them. --[[User:Khajidha\|Khajidha]] ([[User talk:Khajidha\|talk]]) 10:26, 2 August 2020 (EDT)		::I don't think we have the ability to merge pages here.
