Talk:Quests (Prophecies)

I'd like to reorganize this section a bit to display them by the specific location the quest is acquired. Thoughts? MartinLightbringer(CS) 09:52, 17 Jun 2005 (EST)
 * Why does this even exist? We'd be better off (Though the database a bit more taxed) with just Category:Quests and subcategories for individual areas (Ascalon Quests, Kryta Quests, etc.) Kathryn Maulhammer
 * That's what I meant. This section was like this when I got here. :) MartinLightbringer(CS) 00:16, 20 Jun 2005 (EST)
 * Well, I don't know why this is here either, but lists can be a useful compliment to categories, especially with information that remains fairly static. Take a look at Wikipedia:Browse for example. I'm really not too fussed, I just don't like to see articles in more categories than they need to be in, such as is happening with skills (do we really need an "Enchantment Spell" category?). The way quests are treated in the pre-Searing guide is very nicely done (particularly pre-Searing side quests), and I'd like to see something like that rather than more categories. But that's just me. 03:41, 20 Jun 2005 (EST)

If we want to keep this page, then we should turn it into an overview page for reference. Such overviews are very useful for users. But if we want to do this, we should structure the list even more and add more information. I am willing to do that work, if nobody objects. --Tetris L 01:54, 7 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * In a first step to expand the list I have:
 * Sorted the quest in Post-searing Ascalon further by location
 * Added info to the quests in Ascalon City and Old Ascalon:
 * Sorted by quest giver
 * added profession icons if a quest offers a skill reward
 * Before I proceed I'd like to get some feedback whether you like the formating or not. --Tetris L 03:15, 7 Sep 2005 (EST)


 * I definitely like the idea of marking quests that offer a skill reward. Also quests that require a certain profession sould be marked. --Eightyfour-onesevenfive 03:23, 7 Sep 2005 (EST)


 * I think most (all?) quests that require a special profession also offer a skill reward for that profession and vice versa. We could cover both with the little profession icons. --Tetris L 03:29, 7 Sep 2005 (EST)

New Format
Here is my review: Excellent work, Tetris. --Karlos 10:47, 7 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * 1) I love the profession icons next to the Quest names. Great idea, tells so much information with so little effort. The one recommendation here is to place a legend at the very top of the article.
 * 2) I think we should come up with one icon for when the quest is a skill quest for all professions. Placing all six next to each other is a little cumbersome and confusing. We should just pick any of the skill icons (recharge, activation) -or make our own one- and use it to indicate that it is a skill quest for all and then place that in the legend.
 * 3) I do not like relisting the quest giver's name in this page and in the quest page. Again, this is redundant info. What if we wish to update that info, we now need to update two pages. I can see why you want to list them here (if you know who these people are it makes it so much easier to get quests). I just don't like data redundancy.
