Chapter 5

Fragment of a discussion from Talk:Patches

I'd say we move those pages to its own and have the Gen pages link to them. I mean, its been done for Paladin PD and Dark Knight Quest.

Infodude575 (talk)10:12, 26 July 2013

I'll be fine if we do this:

  • Move each sidequest to its own page.
  • Use the current sidequests page as disambiguation, like the Saga page.
  • ONLY link sidequests that need a mainstream quest before hand in the mainstream page.
    • Like you would link to "Andras' Story" in the G9 page because G9 is a requirement, but not "Grave with Violets placed on Top", because it is irrelevant to the story and completion of G9, nor does it need G9 as a requirement.

Above is assuming you specifically say they are irrelevant to the Generation quest in question.

Okay, so here is what is established/what I think:

  • There is no Generation 18 as far as the storyline is concerned. The update is G18 but the Saga storyline is not, and Shamala/Nightmare are not G17.
    • The Saga Page should remain a disambiguation, just not labeled as Generation 18. G18 can still redirect to it to avoid confusion.
  • NO sidequest should go on a Generation page, at most we can reference that you can start x sidequest at x point of a Generation quest. If you can start a sidequest independently of a generation quest, it does not deserve a mention on that generation quest's page.
  • Sidequests page should not be removed but should be changed.

Here is what we have to vote on:

  1. All Sidequests get readded to the Sidequests page, and Shamala/Nightmare is demoted since it is not a requirement of G18 as previously thought.
  2. Or the Sidequests Page turns into a disambiguation page, similar to the Saga Page, and EVERY sidequest gets its own page (its either all or none), with the exception of the aging quests and etc that are considered beginner quests.
    • Note in the bottle should go on the note in bottle's item page. If its quests are named differently than the item, they should be redirected to the Note in Bottle page.

What we're iffy on is the layout of the newmenu table on the front page, discuss the above (for newmenu, scroll down in the thread.)

Most of the sidequest stuff looks like they could be moved elsewhere, but keep the page just to link to it, perhaps?

As for newmenu, either we have Saga header or put The Saga: Iria under Chapter 4?

Infodude575 (talk)17:44, 16 August 2013

Umm, you just paraphrased option #2 I mentioned. And I said to talk about the newmenu at the bottom part of the thread where there is already discussion for it. Personally, I think Saga should be its own header at the same status as "Chapter 4".

Why am I still watching this...that aside, and my stupid jetlag (;-;), I still suggest to place sidequests that relates to the completion of the generation to be either linked onto the same page (i.e. Andras's past) or at least linked else where so it is not lumped into that...sidequest page. It's hard enough to look for it to begin with and sidequest is such a broad term..

まそっぷ ! (talk)18:10, 16 August 2013

As was explained in this following bullet mentioned above:

  • NO sidequest should go on a Generation page, at most we can reference that you can start x sidequest at x point of a Generation quest. If you can start a sidequest independently of a generation quest, it does not deserve a mention on that generation quest's page.
Pyro - (Talk)18:33, 16 August 2013
 

We're not saying it should go on a Generation page. We're saying it should go on its own page, but be linked from the Generation page.

By not mentioning the quest at all, how is anyone going to know it even exists? God knows how many non-editors even know of the existence of pages for keywords, much less keyword-linked sidequests. I mean, 'Grave with Violets' isn't even mentioned on Perrick's page, so if it were taken off the oh-so-cluttered Sidequests page and barred from being linked to on the G9 page, it would quite literally (and yes, I'm using that correctly) disappear from the knowledge of the rest of the wiki users.

Oneris (talk)12:49, 18 August 2013

I was just repeating an earlier line, but okay so lets link to the Commerce page on G15. Just saying, players not knowing about a feature is at fault of advertizing it on the main page, not including/mentioning it on a irrelevant page.

It was never mentioned that we ever considered delinking it form the Sidequests page. Just that it should either be given its own page that the sidequests page links to (if one quest gets its own page, they all deserve one), or all of the sidequests should remain on the sidequests page. But good point, I'll try to add violets to Pierrick's page later.
