Why NPC and not location
I'm curious why this computer is listed on Misty's page and not on the location it's at, Misty's Esoterica? -Caraamon (talk) 00:41, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Because she is the owner of the computer. ArasakaApart (talk) 01:49, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I disagree with this then.
 * a) When visitors look for objects at a location, they are unlikely to think to check subpages of the NPCs who are there. No other wiki I've encountered does it this way.
 * b) With possible rare exceptions, computers do not follow their owner NPCs and can be located far from their owner's location.
 * c) We don't do this with other furniture or data shards. Are you saying you think V's_Apartment/Memorabilia should be moved to V_(character)?
 * d) It's not even consistent. V's computers are listed at V's_Apartment, not on the character page.
 * e) There are more computers without identifiable owners (or with multiple users) than with them.
 * This is a confusing way to do it, especially since, of the three locations I quickly checked (Misty's Esoterica, Aldecaldo_Camp_(2077), Claire's_Garage), none of them link to the computers present at that location. -Caraamon (talk) 02:38, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
 * V has several computers to their name, depending on their Lifepath, that is why it is location bound. Others have it on their name, because one location sometimes has multiple computers, therefor for ease of linking a specific computer to a character, it is on their page and not on the location. We have done it here this way since the start and will not be changing it. ArasakaApart (talk) 10:43, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
