- Seconded, this page should focus on Merl the character, as they exist in the context of Earth and its franchise. Merlbot is its own beast. Realshow19 (talk) 21:49, 16 September 2025 (UTC)
- It should be split into Minecraft Support Virtual Agent and Earth:Merl with Merl being a redirect to Earth:Merl and a disambig notice being added to Earth:Merl.Drour1234 (talk) 22:39, 16 September 2025 (UTC)

Neutral โ doesn't necessarily seem like a bad idea. I just fear it might be a stub but I can definitely see its potential in being a really great article. ๐ Image

- Could probably benefit from technical analysis, we all know it doesnโt know anything but surely it must have a few set prompts. Realshow19 (talk) 15:09, 17 September 2025 (UTC)
- It would probably require some new rules for that page only, since I don't think actual text based AIs have been covered on this wiki yet. Like how I couldn't put Merl's favorite color in the trivia page even though the AI told me what it was, and the "I don't know" meme should need to be kept seperate, like the Chicken Jockey meme.

- We should not rely on the "AIโ itself for information. Any information from it that is added should require a human reliable official source that confirms it. We shouldnโt treat partial "AI"s as actual artificial intelligence because they arenโt and cannot (yet) pass for being sentient. Therefore we shouldnโt confuse readers into thinking that the "AI" called Merl by Mojang is actual artificial intelligence.Drour1234 (talk) 19:40, 17 September 2025 (UTC)
- Um, that's the entire point of what I said.

- In the chat itself, it has a warning "Responses are generated by AI and may include inaccurate information." at the bottom in small letters.Drour1234 (talk) 19:47, 17 September 2025 (UTC)

Support - Yeah I agree. The Merl AI has nothing in common with the Earth character outside of the name/skin. They're two completely different things. ZeRafal (talk) 10:21, 18 September 2025 (UTC)
- Having separate pages for the same character in different medium/games is already a de facto standard. Like how Alex and Dungeons:Alex are in different namespaces. They should be split. ๐ Image

Support dumb AI chatbot Merl is unrelated to Minecraft Earth, it should be split.--Capopanzo (talk | contribs) 01:00, 10 October 2025 (UTC)
- Here's a draft of a chatbot-only article: https://minecraft.wiki/w/Minecraft_Support_Virtual_Agent?redirect=no. While pretty short, I think it's a fine page and I guess it could potentially be expanded. Earth Merl and chatbot Merl are conceptually different things and shouldn't share a page IMO, no matter how short the chatbot page could be.--Capopanzo (talk | contribs) 01:24, 12 October 2025 (UTC)
- Yeah this looks like a solid start. Realshow19 (talk) 01:28, 12 October 2025 (UTC)

Done I've split the chatbot-related information to a separate page (Minecraft Support Virtual Agent), as it's unrelated to Minecraft Earth.--Capopanzo (talk | contribs) 02:35, 12 October 2025 (UTC)

This page is about Merl in Minecraft Earth. A page about the Minecraft Support Virtual Agent that uses Merl's likeness will be created.Drour1234 (talk) 19:59, 22 September 2025 (UTC)
