Introduction
I have been playing Guildwars since May 2005 and have made a few contributions to Guildwiki. I am working on various titles now and have been thinking of how to make Guildwiki even more useful. I support allowing all slots in a party to be filled with heroes.

Map Notes for Missions, Quests and Dungeons
This shows how I would like to modify the mission/quest/dungeon maps for those maps with many alphanumeric codes added to them. It would allow a user to view the map and comments and not need to scroll around the page during a mission for hints on what the map codes mean. Here is an example:

Objectives
Kill Markis and his Jade Armor guards.
 * Find the Seer.
 * ADDED Kill the Eidolon.
 * ADDED Deliver the Spectral Essence to the Seer to infuse your armor.
 * BONUS Defeat The Inquisitor before he leaves with the information about the Shining Blade.

Primary
The main objective of the mission is to find and kill Markis. Markis is the treacherous member of the council of the Shining Blade who has foiled all your previous attempts at building a resistance to the White Mantle. Markis is no imposing boss and the main objective itself is quite straightforward. Reaching the Seer is the hardest part of the mission.
