Welcome
Hi there!

Just curious the planned use for the split Factions vs Nightfall Assassin skill lists. Currently, no other profession appears to have them split out by both campaign and profession, so it stands out. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 17:32, 12 October 2006 (CDT)

Article naming
Please use Attribute Name skills (Campaign) rather than Campaign Attribute Name skills. Cheers :) &mdash; Skuld 17:42, 12 October 2006 (CDT)

If I use Attribute Name skills (Campaign) then they will be all over the place. If I prefix with Factions/Nightfall Attribute Name skills then the quick references will all be in the same place, under either F/Factions or N/Nightfall. What is preferred? &mdash; Brother Obvious 17:53, 12 October 2006 (CDT)


 * You can use a sortkey, when you put the categories in use:, that will put them all under N &mdash; Skuld 17:55, 12 October 2006 (CDT)


 * They should be named in the format Attribute Name skills (Campaign). This was worked out many months back, and is the standard naming method for any set of articles that vary by campaign (such as Getting started (Prophecies), Storyline (Factions), Mission overviews (Nightfall), etc). --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 17:57, 12 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Fair enough. &mdash; Brother Obvious 17:59, 12 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Should I use a sort key on the individual attribute listing pages by profession to collect them all in one place, not list them in a category at all, or leave them how they are? &mdash; Brother Obvious 02:43, 15 October 2006 (CDT)

In reply to "what am I doing?"
I'm doing all of them; Factions, too. I might do one for core skills as well as one for Prophecy skills, if they don't already exist. It'll take a bit, though. It'll be another hour or two before I get all of the Factions and Nightfall ones done. I'm just starting with Assassin. Assassin will be posted in about 10 minutes.

The need arose when I was looking for Nightfall skills and saw that there was no quick reference for them. I'd like to have all of them accessible alone or separately.

For example, I'd like one page with all Factions skills and another with all Nightfall skills. As each page is composed of subpages, it might be worthwhile to have the subpages included or removed from current indicated indices. I'll leave that to other users to modify, such as yourself.

 * Ah, no problems then. But as Skuld mentioned, the alternate naming would be more consistent with how we've named other articles that vary by campaign (we've already renamed the Assassin articles that you had created thus far). --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 17:51, 12 October 2006 (CDT)

Progress
Assassin Factions and Nightfall pages are up. &mdash; Rhys aka Brother Obvious 18:27, 12 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Ritualist and Warrior pages are up. Rit and War have Factions and Nightfall pages; War has Core and Prophecies pages as well.  I'm thinking about not indexing the smaller pages and only indexing the overall composed pages for each profession and the overall quick reference pages. &mdash; Rhys aka Brother Obvious 14:46, 14 October 2006 (CDT)
