Thanks for working on the wiki, but what are you doing with the RoF mission? The proper name, as it already was, is "Ring of Fire (Mission)." --Fyren 03:55, 14 Aug 2005 (EST)

the bracket problem
the problem with the coop mission names is that they unfortunately have the same name as the locations they can be found at. distinguishing between location and mission by naming the entry xy (mission), xy (location) is not the best option imo, since this leads to many tags not working correctly (ie. if RoF is mentioned within a text, but the entry with the location info would have the name RoF (location) the text would also have to include (location) in order for the link to work). sticking to the plain name (ie RoF) for the location and name + mission (ie. RoF mission) in the case of a mission, seems much more logical and easier for the entry to be linked to from other entries (ie. it is more likely that a text would say "...during the RoF mission..." than "...during the RoF (mission)...". only that brackets have been used up until now, doesn't automatically make it the best choice imo.


 * You can do Ring of Fire to name links whatever you want. The preceding turns into this: Ring of Fire  --Fyren 04:46, 14 Aug 2005 (EST)

thanks. that helps. still, at least for the location entry I find (location) not very intuitive.
 * The plan, which no one has gotten around to, was the plain name would redirect to the mission and the mission would have a link to the location. --Fyren 06:25, 14 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * It's fine that you disagree. But you need to raise the issue somewhere appropriate for discussion rather than go implementing your own view.  I suggest GuildWiki talk:Style and formatting/Locations.  Everyone is free to edit because it's a community site.  --Fyren 06:40, 14 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * I agree with Drone (though disagree with changing the whole structure without talking first). Abaddon't Mouth is a LOCATION, if we want to put a distinguishing mark it should be for the Mission. i.e. I am in favor of Abaddon's Mouth and Abaddon's Mouth (Mission) not Abaddon's Mouth leading to misison and then having Abaddon's Mouth (Location). --Karlos 17:27, 14 Aug 2005 (EST)

Enjoy Domination Magic :)

Small images and thumb
When you add images that are small (example the images of various locations you added) and thumbnail them define the size of the image to the articel too so it won't get blocky. Like this: --Geeman 07:47, 14 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * I think we need to come up with a standard regarding image thumbnail side. For characters and for maps at least. This discussion doesn't belong here of course. :) --Karlos 17:27, 14 Aug 2005 (EST)

Mission Bosses and Skills
I've noticed you are adding the information about elite skills that can be captured during missions to the appropriate location page. Why? We have this information already on the mission page (where it belongs in my eyes). You are generating redundancy and redundancy is bad ;). --Eightyfour-onesevenfive 02:55, 15 Aug 2005 (EST)


 * since bosses do not only appear in missions but also in "normal" areas, it would imo be more consistent to have this information as part of the location info. (btw. many mission entries lack this info.) --drone9
 * I was referring to not only elite skill info but skill info in general. --drone9
 * also, at many occasions I wanted to know what skills to get at my current location in the game, but sadly, no such information was available at that time or at least I didn't find it. --drone9
 * btw. rereading your post, I plan to add info not only for elites, but for all skills that can be captured like at the Divinity Coast entry.--drone9
