			==Main Picture==
			Ummm.....why was the first picture removed? --[[User:-Blackout-\|-Blackout-]] 08:46, 5 July 2009 (EDT)

			I seem to have accidentally put it back. --[[User:-Blackout-\|-Blackout-]] 08:47, 5 July 2009 (EDT)

			:And hey, now it's gone again - because it's not a picture of the character in question, it's Gigant Bomb and Smokesniper. - [[User:Chris McFeely\|Chris McFeely]] 08:54, 5 July 2009 (EDT)

			Yes, it is a picture of Gigant Bomb and Smokesniper. The reason I put that there is because the Gigant Bomb and Smokesniper toys were repurposed as SG Darkwind and Dreadwind respectively, thus, theoretically, the picture is also of SG Darkwind and Dreadwind. Simple. --[[User:-Blackout-\|-Blackout-]] 09:04, 5 July 2009 (EDT)
			:No, it really doesn't work that way. A toy is a toy. That picture is of a pair of specific characters in a specific situation, who are not the Dark duo. - [[User:Chris McFeely\|Chris McFeely]] 09:17, 5 July 2009 (EDT)

			:::This issue seemed to have stalled, so I redirected "Darkwind" to "DarkwinX (disambiguation)". [[User:Starfield\|Starfield]] 23:40, 19 August 2009 (EDT)
			::::"Darkwind" should have been kept as a redirect to Darkwing or this page moved there. It shouldn't be a redirect to a disambig page. [[User:Interrobang\|—Interrobang]] 00:42, 20 August 2009 (EDT)
			:::::If you want to get pedantic, I think both Darkwind and Darkwind (G1) should probably redirect here? --[[User:Jeysie\|Jeysie]] 01:14, 20 August 2009 (EDT)
			::::::Darkwind (G1) should redirect here? Wha? As for Darkwind redirecting here, think about someone who bought the recent Universe toy and typed Darkwind into the search bar. If Darkwind redirects here, he might have a hard time getting to the right place, unless possibly the redirect on this page is changed. "For his evil Powermaster counterpart, see Darkwing" isn't very helpful if you don't know you are looking for a Powermaster named Darkwing. I know the "DarkwinX (disambiguation)" page is unorthodox. If we don't like that we can split it to "Darkwing (disambiguation)" and "Darkwind (disambiguation)" - [[User:Starfield\|Starfield]] 01:29, 20 August 2009 (EDT)
			:::::::Guh, I need sleep. I meant, Darkwind and Darkwind (G1) should redirect to Darkwing. Sigh. --[[User:Jeysie\|Jeysie]] 01:35, 20 August 2009 (EDT)
			::::::::I didn't say "Darkwind should redirect here". I said either "Darkwind should redirect to Darkwing" or "Darkwing (SG) should be moved to Darkwing". The exact contents of the dismbig template are amendable. And nobody is going to use "Darkwind (G1)" in any capacity. [[User:Interrobang\|—Interrobang]] 03:08, 20 August 2009 (EDT)
			:::::::::OK, now you're confusing ''me''. My reasoning: Darkwind is an official alternate name for Darkwing per some of the recent toys, so it should redirect there, as the G1 usage is more common/expected. (After all, someone looking for "Darkwind" is probably looking for that Silverbolt repaint, not a minor TFCC character.)
			:::::::::And since that means we'd then have two Darkwinds, that technically means there should also be a Darkwind (G1) redirect to go with this Darkwind (SG), per our disambiguation rules.
			:::::::::So, my comment was ''meant'' to be both a vote for "Darkwind should redirect to Darkwing" ''and'' an additional step besides.

	:I'll just repeat what I said on SG Darkwind's page: Darkwind seems to be the new official name for G1 Darkwing due to trademark issues, so someone's far more likely to be thinking of his new toy named that than a very minor character in a side-story on a TFCC mag. --[[User:Jeysie\|Jeysie]] 12:39, 20 August 2009 (EDT)		:I'll just repeat what I said on SG Darkwind's page: Darkwind seems to be the new official name for G1 Darkwing due to trademark issues, so someone's far more likely to be thinking of his new toy named that than a very minor character in a side-story on a TFCC mag. --[[User:Jeysie\|Jeysie]] 12:39, 20 August 2009 (EDT)

			Interrobang's marked "Darkwind" for deletion so this article can be moved there, but previous discussion on the talk pages suggests that that move might be contentious. Anyone have any objections? --[[User:Abates\|abates]] 00:25, 7 November 2011 (EST)

			==Main Picture==
			Ummm.....why was the first picture removed? --[[User:-Blackout-\|-Blackout-]] 08:46, 5 July 2009 (EDT)

			I seem to have accidentally put it back. --[[User:-Blackout-\|-Blackout-]] 08:47, 5 July 2009 (EDT)

			:And hey, now it's gone again - because it's not a picture of the character in question, it's Gigant Bomb and Smokesniper. - [[User:Chris McFeely\|Chris McFeely]] 08:54, 5 July 2009 (EDT)

			Yes, it is a picture of Gigant Bomb and Smokesniper. The reason I put that there is because the Gigant Bomb and Smokesniper toys were repurposed as SG Darkwind and Dreadwind respectively, thus, theoretically, the picture is also of SG Darkwind and Dreadwind. Simple. --[[User:-Blackout-\|-Blackout-]] 09:04, 5 July 2009 (EDT)
			:No, it really doesn't work that way. A toy is a toy. That picture is of a pair of specific characters in a specific situation, who are not the Dark duo. - [[User:Chris McFeely\|Chris McFeely]] 09:17, 5 July 2009 (EDT)

			==Disambiguation==
			Sorry for the newb question, but I couldn't think of where to find the answer: do we make full disambiguation pages for a name when the pages being disambiguated merely have confusingly similar names? Or do we just stack "two item" disambiguation templates? Because Darkwind/Darkwing/Darkwings all need some way to connect their current disambiguations. --[[User:Jeysie\|Jeysie]] 13:49, 14 July 2009 (EDT)

			:::This issue seemed to have stalled, so I redirected "Darkwind" to "DarkwinX (disambiguation)". [[User:Starfield\|Starfield]] 23:40, 19 August 2009 (EDT)
			::::"Darkwind" should have been kept as a redirect to Darkwing or this page moved there. It shouldn't be a redirect to a disambig page. [[User:Interrobang\|—Interrobang]] 00:42, 20 August 2009 (EDT)
			:::::If you want to get pedantic, I think both Darkwind and Darkwind (G1) should probably redirect here? --[[User:Jeysie\|Jeysie]] 01:14, 20 August 2009 (EDT)
			::::::Darkwind (G1) should redirect here? Wha? As for Darkwind redirecting here, think about someone who bought the recent Universe toy and typed Darkwind into the search bar. If Darkwind redirects here, he might have a hard time getting to the right place, unless possibly the redirect on this page is changed. "For his evil Powermaster counterpart, see Darkwing" isn't very helpful if you don't know you are looking for a Powermaster named Darkwing. I know the "DarkwinX (disambiguation)" page is unorthodox. If we don't like that we can split it to "Darkwing (disambiguation)" and "Darkwind (disambiguation)" - [[User:Starfield\|Starfield]] 01:29, 20 August 2009 (EDT)
			:::::::Guh, I need sleep. I meant, Darkwind and Darkwind (G1) should redirect to Darkwing. Sigh. --[[User:Jeysie\|Jeysie]] 01:35, 20 August 2009 (EDT)
			::::::::I didn't say "Darkwind should redirect here". I said either "Darkwind should redirect to Darkwing" or "Darkwing (SG) should be moved to Darkwing". The exact contents of the dismbig template are amendable. And nobody is going to use "Darkwind (G1)" in any capacity. [[User:Interrobang\|—Interrobang]] 03:08, 20 August 2009 (EDT)
			:::::::::OK, now you're confusing ''me''. My reasoning: Darkwind is an official alternate name for Darkwing per some of the recent toys, so it should redirect there, as the G1 usage is more common/expected. (After all, someone looking for "Darkwind" is probably looking for that Silverbolt repaint, not a minor TFCC character.)
			:::::::::And since that means we'd then have two Darkwinds, that technically means there should also be a Darkwind (G1) redirect to go with this Darkwind (SG), per our disambiguation rules.
			:::::::::So, my comment was ''meant'' to be both a vote for "Darkwind should redirect to Darkwing" ''and'' an additional step besides. My saying "Darkwind should redirect here" was a mistake of me being sleepy and screwing up what I actually meant to say, as I already explained, but you apparently didn't read that part. --[[User:Jeysie\|Jeysie]] 08:40, 20 August 2009 (EDT)
			:::::::::I'm against moving this page to "Darkwind". "Darkwind (G1)" should be reserved (even if not used) and this Darkwind should retain its "(SG)". Theoretically, if someone bought the recent Darkwind Universe toy and knew nothing of his history, he would search the name and the wiki would lead him here. If there was no parenthetical, he would be safe to assume there are no other versions of the character so would have no reason to think this page is the wrong one for him. - [[User:Starfield\|Starfield]] 11:54, 20 August 2009 (EDT)
			::::I like the idea of "DarkwinX (disambiguation)", but I wonder if there's a better way to write it. "Darkwin* (disambiguation)", maybe? I assume an underscore wouldn't parse... - [[User:Jackpot\|Jackpot]] 01:40, 20 August 2009 (EDT)
			:::::"Darkwin-"? 03:08, 20 August 2009 (EDT)

			==Darkwind==
	Actually, I kinda wonder if this should just go to Darkwind (SG), since he's the only guy to have "Darkwind" as his ''only'' name. Then just have a disambig to "Darkwing", plain and simple. -- [[User:Repowers\|Repowers]] 12:34, 20 August 2009 (EDT)		Actually, I kinda wonder if this should just go to Darkwind (SG), since he's the only guy to have "Darkwind" as his ''only'' name.

	:I'll just repeat what I said on SG Darkwind's page: Darkwind seems to be the new official name for G1 Darkwing due to trademark issues, so someone's far more likely to be thinking of his new toy named that than a very minor character in a side-story on a TFCC mag. --[[User:Jeysie\|Jeysie]] 12:39, 20 August 2009 (EDT)		:I'll just repeat what I said on SG Darkwind's page: Darkwind seems to be the new official name for G1 Darkwing due to trademark issues, so someone's far more likely to be thinking of his new toy named that than a very minor character in a side-story on a TFCC mag. --[[User:Jeysie\|Jeysie]] 12:39, 20 August 2009 (EDT)

			== Move ==

			Interrobang's marked "Darkwind" for deletion so this article can be moved there, but previous discussion on the talk pages suggests that that move might be contentious. Anyone have any objections? --[[User:Abates\|abates]] 00:25, 7 November 2011 (EST)
			:Anyone at all want to weight in on this before the page ends up getting moved? --[[User:Abates\|abates]] 15:57, 20 November 2011 (EST)
