[edit] Re: errata vs revision

I don't think "errata" is that confusing a term. We already use it on Band of MisfitsBand of Misfits.jpg, as well as the 2019_Errata page. Relatedly, could probably bundle all the changes here (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=20551.0) into a new page. --Terracubist (talk) 18:55, 12 April 2022 (EDT)

I’m not crazy about “errata” because it means ‘mistakes’, and like, it’s not like the original version of Donate had typos or whatever, or that Donald had it operate between turns by accident or something; he made the original decision for a good reason, and then later on decided he’d rather have it work in a different way. (Also, errata means ‘mistakes’, not ‘the changes that were made to fix the mistakes’, which is the sense it most often seems to have been being used in.) “Revision” or “update” gets the meaning across without the implication that the original version was in error.

I mean, DXV pretty much said it was something that needed to be fixed: Donate#Errata. I'm not really here to argue semantics, I'm mostly interested in using consistent terminology across changed cards. And in most conversations I've seen (in which DXV or others take part), "errata" is being used to refer to all changed cards without any apparent misunderstanding. --Terracubist (talk) 14:18, 13 April 2022 (EDT)
Agree that 'errata' is fine - it's definitely in use in this sense (both around the community and from DXV) without any particular implication that the originals should never have been like that. And the word gets used that way (to refer to a general set of changes, not just to the original 'mistakes' themselves) in other domains too afaik. Saltroza (talk) 15:50, 13 April 2022 (EDT)
As I said on Talk:Trader, "errata" is the term used by Donald and the community and it should be left alone. To make it more consistent I'd also change the heading on Trader back to "errata" from "update" (I've never seen people say the latter, for what it's worth).

[edit] Re: Fleet + Donate

Fleet doesn't seem like enough of a reason to keep the sentence about changing final deck contents around, mostly because 2-landscape combinations are extremely rare. If anything it's more important that Donate can do stuff like dodge handsize attacks and void e.g. squirrel. I'm for removing the wolf den/tomb sentence, and maaaaybe adding discussion on the other edge cases after we've had more time to sit on the errata. --Terracubist (talk) 20:41, 24 October 2022 (EDT)

I agree. Ajd (talk) 03:06, 25 October 2022 (EDT)
