Hi there mate, you've spread your contributions out haven't you! Just a note, for quest articles gold is wikified (ie Gold). Check out Style and formatting/Quests if you're in doubt, my user page has lots of helpful stuff too if you're interested. Thanks. --Xasxas256 22:33, 31 October 2006 (CST)


 * Yes, returning to GW after an unplanned 8 month break. In the issue of the gold link, there seems to be two "competing standards" as have noted a large majority of quest reward sections show gold as simply "50 gold", while a few have as you suggest "50 Gold ", is the plan to eventually convert references??

 * Ah dang, must be for Nightfall quests, I've gone through every Factions quest, they should all be: Gold and I think the Proph quests are pretty good too. It's been hard to keep up with it all unfortunately, I'm going through the Nightfall quests now but it'll take me a while. It should always be the same as Style and formatting/Quests though. Anyway, welcome back, hope you're enjoying it ;) --Xasxas256 22:56, 31 October 2006 (CST)


 * Heya there, just another quick note, in an article you generally only wikifying something once, usually the first occurance. For quests however if a term occurs in both the Obtained From and Summary sections, I'll only wikify it in the Obtained From section. Sorry to be a bother but there's always little quirks of wiki editing and this is one of them! :) --Xasxas256 01:30, 1 November 2006 (CST)


 * That's cool, no bother. Rather know how we want to standardise the entries, feel free to "undo" any edits as needed.  Maybe this quirk needs to be noted in the Style and Formatting/Quests page. --Wolfie 02:51, 1 November 2006 (CST)


 * The S&F guide has been updated now, I should have done it a while ago to be honest but anyway, it's done now! --Xasxas256 17:13, 1 November 2006 (CST)


 * An extra little note, we've been using " " to represent when dialogue refers to the character, as mentioned in the S&F guide Xas referenced. Not a biggie, but in keeping things consistant thought you should know. :-) Keep up the good edits! --Zampani 14:18, 6 November 2006 (CST)


 * For the record, I think " " is more meaningful and reads better, but ok, the point is to standardise. Thanks for the note (better to get in early, before I do too much "damage" :D ) --Wolfie 19:52, 6 November 2006 (CST)


 * Sorry to get in late here but I quite like it reads well to me. Problem is that because I've seen so many edits here I generally know how to interperate how things are written. But I do like to hang out on people's talk pages to get their perspective. For better or worse I'm never going to have that new GuildWiki user experiance. I guess that's why and S&F debates are often quite long, because anything implemented there will effect a lot of articles and will last for a long time. As for versus it's probably such a small thing that it's not worth looking over 500 odd quest articles to update it in my opinion. I can't wait for the new server to go in, it's just so painfully slow to look over Category:Nightfall quests at the moment! --Xasxas256 16:50, 7 November 2006 (CST)


 * Yeah, the diff between is minimal, it is something to correct while tidying up / adding to a quest record, so it's good that Zampani said something (the S&F can at times be open to interpretation, so worthwhile for senior editors to note if a discrepancy is creeping in). Of course, if someone has direct access to the wiki host and these documents are stored as text files, then could always look at using SED to do a simple search and replace, would save quite a bit of time. As for a faster Wiki, yes please! Have pretty much stopped adding / editing at the moment because it's so painfully slow, so whatever the server-gods can do to make it better would be useful. :) --Wolfie 18:21, 7 November 2006 (CST)


 * I also can't wait for the new server to go in, I can't RC (Recent Changes) patrol very well at the moment and as you say it's painful trying to format a large bunch of quests for consistancy. Hopefully it'll go in within the next week, fingers crossed. --Xasxas256 22:18, 7 November 2006 (CST)


 * Couple more questions about the S&F guide for quests:
 * There is no mention of what should be done with words that appear as green text in quest dialog, some ppl have wikified them, others use bold, could there be a standard set?
 * No mention about whether the accept/reject options should be included in the initial dialog entry (though think I did read it should be somewhere), but could a standardise formatting be documented in the S&F.
 * Comments? --Wolfie 22:40, 8 December 2006 (CST)

Just for the record, I'm not an admin, just a hopeful ;) I guess I'm just bossy enough to look like one! :P --Xasxas256 06:43, 25 November 2006 (CST)


 * Ok, changed to reflect this "pending" status (wonders why anyone would want to volunteer for punishment, but each to their own! ) ;) --Wolfie 23:46, 4 December 2006 (CST)


 * Actually my punishment has started now! :P :P --Xasxas256 00:02, 5 December 2006 (CST)
 * Haha! If anything it's a self assigned punishment... you've been the spitting image of an admin for quite some time; now you just have the title to go with it! :-) --Zampani 03:08, 5 December 2006 (CST)
