GuildWiki talk:Style and formatting/Locations

So, here's another area that is going to require a lot of typing. What sort of information do we need in the location pages? Of course, Explorable Areas and Cities will have totally different info.


 * Cities
 * Henchmen Available
 * Their Level
 * What skills they have?
 * Merchants
 * What they have for sale, how much
 * Exits
 * To where
 * Quest Givers
 * What quests they give
 * Other notable places (statues, hidden plot points, etc)


 * Explorable Areas
 * Type of terrain
 * Types of MOBs
 * Bosses, if any
 * Class. Maybe skills? These probably belong on a seperate page for each boss.
 * Notes on what level of random spawns (e.g. L17 Spiders in groups of 4, etc)

I'm sure I missed some things. Discuss. Gravewit 00:23, 14 Jun 2005 (EST)


 * Do we really need detailed information about the bosses on the explorable area's location page (like class, race, skills - see Talus Chute)? Listing them by name would be fine, of course, but everything else would generate a lot of redundancy. They are already on the elite skill locations pages and everything is, of course, on each bosse's page. --84.175.116.111 19:33, 2 Aug 2005 (EST)


 * Agreed (mostly); most of that redundancy is useless, but the profession of the boss SHOULD remain on the location pages, as it provides a useful index for a reader looking to know if he needs to bring a Signet of Capture or not. Otherwise, he'll have to check every boss page, instead of just the ones that might interest him.  &mdash;Tanaric 20:39, 2 Aug 2005 (EST)


 * In the explorable araes I think the following is needed as well:
 * NPC's
 * Collectors
 * Material traders
 * Merchants
 * Quest givers
 * Exits/Connects to
 * Additional notes (if any)
 * And an additional notes item for the Cities as well could be useful. kaarechr 20:45, 2 Aug 2005 (EST)

Could we name the section listing the exits to other zones "connected zones?" Right now, 84.175 has been using "neighbouring zones," but geographically (as if they were real places) some zones neighbor/are adjacent to other zones but aren't directly connected. My secret agenda, though, is to get rid of the British spelling. --Fyren 06:26, 9 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * Neighboring wasn't my idea! Just keeping up what someone else started... ;) I'm personally rather indifferent on what terminology to use, as long as it's clear what is meant (nobody would list neigboring zones that aren't connected *rolls eyes*). --Eightyfour-onesevenfive 06:57, 9 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * Lol, hey 84.157, have you met Ollj? ;) 09:58, 9 Aug 2005 (EST)
