Talk:Guildhall

Games

Should we bring up that Guildhalls are popular in MMORPG games?

I think that's notable enough to be mentioned. CannibalSmith 16:00, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, they should be but in a separate article - guildhall (gaming). However, I am having trouble finding any reliable references to even stub an article on this; I'll redirect this to Clan (video gaming) for now. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 13:47, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Misc

What size is a typical guildhall? How many people can usually be roomed in a guildhall? How many rooms does it have? What does a guildhall contain?

The World is an island.

The current article 'Guildhall' claims to be a disambiguation page. It is not (see WP:DISAMBIGUATION). It's a list of guildhalls, all with the exact same meaning of the term, which list is followed with what belongs on a disambiguation page named 'Guildhall (disambiguation)' (so far a redirect to 'Guildhall') : "Guildhall can also refer to: Guildhall, Vermont" and then a completely new section 'See also' showing three entries that should simply be put immediately underneath that Vermont entry.

Best create Guildhall (disambiguation), with at top: A guildhall or guild hall is a building historically used by guilds for meetings. Then cut/paste the bottom part thereunder.

And then expand the article, followed with a section like 'List of guildhalls in the United Kingdom'. And most importantly: there are other countries out there. For instance, the Low Countries used to have guildhalls in every city, often one for each trade, occasionally a hall to be used by all the city's guilds, e.g.:

The Round Table (or Tafelrond, in Dutch) in Leuven, designed 1479 by Matheus de Layens, guildhall built 1480-1487 internally comprising 3 houses, demolished 1817, reconstructed following original plans 1921^{[The World is an island 1]}^{[The World is an island 2]}

Now, just a moment — Ah, it was easier done than explained. Problem solved. Though of course, the one example outside the UK is not enough. Suggestion: Google Search for 'Gildenhuis', 'Gildehuis', 'Gilden', 'Gilde', and the terms in German and French.
