Talk:Mirror of the Ice Barrier

Ice Barrier Template

Why is this considered a "member" of the Ice Barrier archetype? It's not a monster, and it's not even support for Ice Barrier monsters; it's an anti-support against Trishula. So why is it contained in the "member" section? The Pope 16:12, September 29, 2010 (UTC)

Like how "Gravekeeper's Servant" is eligible for "Gravekeeper's" monsters support cards when used with "Magical Hats", this is eligible for "Ice Barrier" monsters support cards when used with "Magical Hats". -- Deltaneos (talk) 00:04, October 1, 2010 (UTC)

What does Magical Hats have to do with anything? Also, Gravekeeper's Servant is located in the Related section, which just supports this case. The Pope 01:05, October 1, 2010 (UTC)

I think that was meant to be sarcastic. Anyways, Gladiator Beast War Chariot and Morphtronic Accelerator (first 2 cards I could think of that have the 'archetype name', but are not monsters) both are in 'Support', and not 'Member'.

The reason should be because of the pages like List of "Gladiator Beast" monsters, 'Archetypes member' is used when generating that list, and those pages are for monsters only. -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 01:11, October 1, 2010 (UTC)

Let me explain the Wikia's policy on this.

• Archetype Members are for monsters that have the name of the archetype or are an important part of the archetype.
• Archetype Support are for Spell or Trap cards that support the general play style of the archetype, or are monsters that support the archetype in general. For example, Shien's Footsoldier for Six Samurai and Test Tiger and Test Ape for Gladiator Beasts.
• Archetype Related are for other cards that are related to the archetype because of their name, background story, image, or playing style. Example:
  • Name: Mechanical Spider for Karakuri.
  • Background story: Coach Goblin for Different Dimension. (D.D. Crazy Beast).
  • Image: Wynnda, Miko of the Gusta and Wynndarl, Sage of the Gusta for Charmers (Wynn the Wind Charmer).

In this case, Mirror of the Ice Barrier would fall under the Archetype Related category.-- HHTurtle ^Talk   01:19, October 1, 2010 (UTC)

It has always been done like this, if you want more proof you can look at the Archetype NavBox for Lightsworns, Gadgets, Harpie's Feather Duster for Harpies, Goblins, etc...-- HHTurtle ^Talk   15:38, October 1, 2010 (UTC)
