Talk:Quests
one thought I had was that we could remove the title column completely and instead add a link at the top of the page that says "For a list of titles and their associated quests see the Titles page. That would allow us to fit either timers or date/patch added. Or, we could merge the title and other rewards into just Rewards. I think that would actually work fairly well. There are only a handful of quests that would have a rather large row due to this, and they are Prodigal drudge/lugian/olthoi and colosseum champions so far. And there are only a handful of other quests I can think of that would have large rows: Gaerlan, BM quests, Burun Kings. And if we really want to, we can shorten up the Rewards area by saying something like "Gaerlan... Items: Olthoi Slaying Weapons (See quest for full list), Gaerlan's Robe, Martine's Robe, Martine's Mask"
Anywhere here is a quick sample of the quest table with titles merged into rewards:

--Tlosk 04:11, 8 March 2008 (CST)That's true, and with the quests listed on each page patch the info is available. Soon as I finish getting the monsters and dungeons listed I'm going to start working on backfilling the quest writeups. I like the idea of maybe adding another list or two but it's a good idea to wait and let the possible formats percolate. Also I'm working on a utility that can take an existing table and let you add/remove columns and add or remove formating markup for an entire column at once. I think it will work but we'll see.
I agree it'd be useful, but like you said, the quest list is already pretty full. If we were going to add anything else to the quest list I'd want to add timers. But I don't think we should add anything else to the list without first redesigning the whole thing. I think its fine as is - it provides a lot of useful info. If people want to see newer quests they can always go to the patch list. Or we could create a new page/section on the quest page with a simple list of what quests were added on each patch - basically what maggie's quest page looks like.

--Tlosk 18:07, 7 March 2008 (CST)I know it's already crowded but would it be worthwhile to have a column with the date of the patch it went in? The date rather than the patch name so it would take less space, and then it could be made sortable so that you could sort the quests so that all the recent ones were together to see ones you may have missed doing. Once we get all the quests plugged in the list is going to be pretty massive. Perhaps convert the titles column into a Yes No so it takes up less space? Since usually you're just interested in if the quest gives a title, and you can always click on the quest if you want to know what the actual title is (perhaps have the column heading double as a link to the titles article? Like this [[Titles | Gives<br>Title]]

I think we may want to redesign the quest table. There is a lot of useful info in it, but it looks very crowded now.
