Skyrim talk:Have Need of Cynric

Misnamed?

I believe this note/letter is misnamed in the game. I have found this letter, with this title, and this content, in the game, but I believe I've seen another letter elsewhere, with the same title, but different content (along the lines of "I need Cynric for another job").. might have been in the Thieves Guild (Ragged Flagon - Cistern) but I can't promise. If I find it again I'll come try to straighten this out, but in the meanwhile, if anyone else wants to check on it.. I'm also clueless as to how we would document in the wiki something like this since I don't think you can have two items/pages with the same exact name in the same namespace..

Yes, you seem to be right, there seem to be two books with the same name (id 0x000f6933 and id 0x000f6931). In cases like this wikis usually use disambiguated names like "Have Need of Cynic (Honninbrew Meadery)" and "Have Need of Cynic (Thieves Guild)" - not sure about those names, but I can't think of better ones. --Alfwyn 23:59, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for checking. Regarding the disambiguation, the only alternative I can think of is to use the first word in the letters (which happen to be the recipients) so "Have Need of Cynic (Sabjorn)" and "Have Need of Cynic (Mercer)", just a thought. Krag 11:44, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

Yes, those names look better. And since the letter to Mercer isn't signed, we can't use the author name for disambiguation. --Alfwyn 12:08, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

(←) Ok, disambiguation done. Looking closer at it I think you are right and the letter to Sabjorn was misnamed in-game, the title doesn't make much sense in that context. --Alfwyn 14:20, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
