Primary topic

What's the primary topic here, the 2021 viral "milk crate challenge" of running up and down a small podium of crates, or the team-building and world record exercise possibly called "crate climbing" where someone builds a very tall tower? The article is blurring the two together somewhat (is falling an issue in both versions, or just the podium one?), and they may actually merit separate articles. --Lord Belbury (talk) 20:27, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for adding the image again. I was thinking of doing that myself. The team building activity is quite niche and I don't it needs an article to itself. However, it predates the viral craze. I was trying to clarify that the activity is not necessarily dangerous but I probably made things more confusing.TimSC (talk) 20:32, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If the team-building tower is a niche angle on a much bigger viral phenomenon, I'd put it at the end of the lead and give it a separate section, and make it constantly clear which version is being talked about for injuries and medical warnings. Have any sources drawn a connection between the two challenges, or is it possible the two were invented entirely independently? --Lord Belbury (talk) 20:35, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
