A witch doctor is not a witch. it is another name for a shaman. StarFire209 23:59, March 15, 2012 (UTC)
- Witch doctors aren't witches and it was not confirmed they're witches just because they have witch in their name. Andrewh7 (talk) 21:06, December 5, 2017 (UTC) Andrewh7
- That is what is said in the episode -- that is why it was included in the page. And you need to stop deleting content. Virago a-go-go (talk) 08:35, December 6, 2017 (UTC)
- Actually it didn't, Lauren was talking about Shamans and Trick replied back that Witch doctors are dangerous. If it's wrong, it's going to be deleted. Andrewh7 (talk) 13:54, December 6, 2017 (UTC) Andrewh7
- Content will not be deleted if it is supported with an episode. "Dark shaman" was what Lauren said, but "witch doctor" is how Trick responded. "Witch" is what the writers chose to use, therefore what the writers wrote and the episode it appears in is included in the "Witch" article. If you do a search of synonyms for shaman you will find "sorcerer", "conjurer", and "witch" -- if you do a search of synonyms for witch you will find "sorcerer", "conjurer", and "shaman". It is the responsibility of editors to elucidate if they think content needs it, but no editor gets to delete existing content as if this wiki was their personal wiki.

- They are indeed SIMILAR but they definitely aren't the same thing. Witches cast spells and practice magic/Witchcraft; Shamans practice a different kind of magic, not Witchcraft, and are totally separate from witches. Witch doctor is just another name for Shaman, in the real world and among the Fae, that's all. It's not telling us that shamans are witches. I looked up synonyms of witch and it never said shaman was one of them, only related to. I'm not deleting existing content as if I'm it's or I'm treating this wiki as my personal wiki, I'm stating facts and making corrections. It's an editor's job to make sure the content is correct regardless of personal wiki or not, and it is wrong. You can't say they're the same thing if it wasn't confirmed in the show.

And there was a legitimate reason- it was never said their containment field was a spell, it could just be an energy field or something. Andrewh7 (talk) 21:09, December 5, 2017 (UTC) Andrewh7
Just because it has the word spell and witches cast spells, doesn't mean it should be added to the page. If it was on a spells page absolutely but this is a page strictly for witches. Andrewh7 (talk) 21:06, December 7, 2017 (UTC) Andrewh7
- I'm getting tired of your disputes. I've explained the procedures and rationale for including content in articles. Stop pushing the envelope. Virago a-go-go (talk) 11:17, December 8, 2017 (UTC)
