Talk:Quest Guide Template
I based The Temple of Hizk Ri on the guide for Lord Rytheran's Journal. I actually prefer Style 1 though -- the walk through is shorter and easier to follow. Also, edit the pages and look at the source. All of the text and blockquotes for the dialog needs to be on the same line in Style 2, which makes it harder to edit.
For a detailed walk through I think we should avoid using a numbered list. --Widgeon 11:20, 18 June 2008 (CDT)
I'd like to decide on a single style when it comes to the dialog from quests.
Style 1: Search for Gareth Dain
dialog and walkthru are separate sections.
Style 2: The Temple of Hizk Ri
dialog is inserted in the walkthru but indented.
I like both styles. Style one gives you a nice, short, clear guide, but the dialog section is a bit confusing unless things are labeled clearly. Style 2 makes a quick cut and paste of the guide not possible, but it makes it much easier to follow the dialog. And having it indented makes it easy enough to skip over if you are just reading the guide. What does everyone else think?
One idea I had was to restructure the template a bit:
<table at top> == Quick Guide == Very quick numbered steps, with little to no explanation such as shortcuts to take. example: # Go to 00.0N, 00.0E # Enter [[Dungeon Name]] - [ACMaps] # From drop, head left (west), straight (west), right (north). # Kill [[Mini Boss]]. Loot [[Key]]. # From [[Mini Boss]] head right (east). # Open door. # Kill [[Boss]]. Loot [[Reward]]. == Walkthrough == Walkthrough from style 2. Detailed intstructions with dialog included, indented. == Items == bulleted list of items from the quest == Lore == This would be used to explain the backstory of the quest, texts and dialog would not be here.
