Redirect proposal

Proposal: Redirect this page to Merchant, merge relevant info ("can give the player some early tips and information in exchange for five gold pieces") there, and update redirect Bar Keep.

Rationale: This is just a small stub page, Merchant collects much more info about these characters in one place, and similar entry Armorer is already a redirect. No redirects exist for Medic and Weapon S/smith, but those could be pointed there as well.

To decide: Call this character Bar keep or Barkeep? In-game dialogs label him Barkeep, some wiki pages do too; others use two words. Which should be used consistently? --Xymph (talk) 06:47, 10 September 2016 (CDT)

This makes sense, one sentence articles like these are something we try to avoid, and the page was unknown since nothing linked to it. Medic and weapon smith redirs should be created, both for purposes of use in the search box, and to prevent those articles from being created redundantly in the future. Barkeep is both the proper word in English according to various dictionaries and the form used in the game, so that should be the form we generally stick to. The forms with spaces *should* be redirects though, since people are apt to type it in as two words, as evidenced by this usage to date. --Quasar (talk) 12:20, 10 September 2016 (CDT)
Thanks for the quick follow-up. --Xymph (talk) 13:06, 10 September 2016 (CDT)
