Talk:Elite skills list

This is just a rip off of Elite Skills Location but organised slightly differently. I used to make it look tidier, but if you disagree with this please say so. :) 22:13, 12 Jul 2005 (EST)


 * This page is beautiful, Biro! &mdash;Tanaric 22:36, 19 Jul 2005 (EST)


 * ...but I'm still moving it to Elite skills list, as the plural interferes with Elite skill. A merger might be even better; do it if you think so. :) &mdash;Tanaric 00:30, 20 Jul 2005 (EST)


 * Nah Tanaric, I think that name is fine :) And I don't think a merge is necessary really. 03:08, 20 Jul 2005 (EST)

Lots of Pages
So, we've got this page, Elite Skill Locations and the pages that links to. I think is is redundant. My suggestion is those other pages should be inserted (, etc.) into this one instead of maintaining the content in two places if that can be managed and still keep the pretty formatting here on this page. --Fyren 23:57, 2 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * Here's what I propose source for the page to be: [source for User:Fyren/Test2]. A couple changes would have to be made to make it look like the page is now.  All the double equals for headings in the various individual pages would get changed to triple and the header text would be removed.  (And I guess rename all the pages so we don't start another case crusade.)  Elite Skill Locations would get axed since it doesn't serve much purpose anyway.  We can link to the individual pages from the profession pages, if we want.  --Fyren 06:04, 3 Aug 2005 (EST)

Wow, that's pretty cool, Fyren. Implementing. &mdash;Tanaric 20:58, 3 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * Check your test page. I edited the format of the Warrior page to use subheadings and definition lists.  It's more semantically correct and it reduces the width of the page, which is good for its columnar formatting now.  Any comments beofre I do the same to the rest? &mdash;Tanaric 21:10, 3 Aug 2005 (EST)


 * I had been wondering how to use definition lists. This is looking very good (even if the page might be looking a little large). I say go for it Tanaric, I was unhappy with the initial linking page but could see no better option, this is quite an elegant solution Fyren, well done.
 * Incidentally it will be useful to add a to this page so that people realise that they shouldn't be adding new skill information here.  03:19, 4 Aug 2005 (EST)


 * Just looking at Fyren's page, if we removed the text from the top of the individual skill location articles (they are self explanatory after all) and increased the headings (i.e. h2 becomes h3) then the format would look much more accurate. Of course, the individual pages would be less complete, but I think it would be worthwhile. 03:24, 4 Aug 2005 (EST)


 * I hope you dont mind Fyren, but I changed the Warrior section of your example to point to a test page I created, where all the headings are reduced and the text and category info is removed from the article. Any opinions on the way it looks? I'm not certain I like the altered headings. 62.254.64.17 03:34, 4 Aug 2005 (EST) 03:35, 4 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * I was actually going to do that myself and revert the real warrior page for now, but you got to it first. Anyway, about the formatting, it's less wide but much longer. I think I prefer it the way it was on the warrior page (besides the bullets which don't really matter).  --Fyren 03:51, 4 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * I replaced the necro skills on the test page with an alternate version of the warrior skills that I prefer. --Fyren 05:04, 4 Aug 2005 (EST)

I replaced ranger with another version of the Warrior skills that I prefer. It fixes the readability problems with the first mockup Biro and I did, and it fixes the width problem with Fyren's. While I prefer Fyren's mockup (length-wise) on my screen, if I reduce my resolution to, say, 800x600, it becomes a bit messy. &mdash;Tanaric 16:09, 4 Aug 2005 (EST)
