There are some categories of articles (in this case, Category:Dark Souls: Carvings), whose articles are so trivially similar, that, IMO, maintaining similar but different articles is counter productive.

They end up being inconsistent, partially copy pasted, un-maintained and underwritten articles.

To this end, I have merged them into a single Carvings article, in a fashion similar to Fire Keeper Soul. By doing this, we reduce maintenance and inconsistency, and consolidate the article by promoting editing (since there is now only 1 article).

The old pages have been made into redirects, but are still categorized. Doing this means that if you visit Category:Dark Souls: Carvings or Category:Artorias of the Abyss, they will show up there as actual entries. Visiting them will yield merged page.

Well, I hope everyone is OK with that. If not, it is always undoable, but I think it is a big enough change to write a rationale for this change.

If this change is conclusive, I plan to also do this for all the common souls articles (eg "Soul of a Lost Undead")
