please stop removing TargetMonster parameter

Your updates to our out-of-date exploration quest data is otherwise valuable, but please stop removing the TargetMonster parameter.

StyleExplorationQuest uses that parameter to pull in an image of the monster to be hunted/sketched (except when your edits to that template screwed that up).

I don't want to discourage you from updating the costs and rewards, but it's getting tiresome for me to clean up after all your edits. Please just leave that parameter alone and don't mess with things that you don't know what they do.

I hate to be that guy, but Sakura502 (or NisePanda as she's currently known), as a moderator, has more authority over this than you do. Specifically, I'd link to point out this section of the wiki policy.

(Also you sounded kinda condescending in this post and she has a short temper so you're kinda playing with fire, but you didn't hear that from me.)

I'd just like to point out that it's not clear at all that any of the moderators besides you are moderators without looking at the moderator list you mentioned.

Shouldn't moderators be identifiable in some way? Either having it on their User page or some other distinction...

EDIT: Same for admins, where Angevon is the only admin who has it mentioned on the User page.

We used to have special colors on talk pages but that was removed for some reason or another (I don't actually know why, and I would prefer to have kept that there to look special to prevent confusion on talk pages). We still have special colors on recent changes, page histories, and when viewing specific revisions though. I do agree that NisePanda should make her own page state that she is a moderator more clearly though. She refers to herself as a "Decepticon" which is the actual name of the user group for moderators, but not everyone would know that, lol.

Blargel (talk)15:27, 5 December 2014

You're right, admins/moderators do have a special color... except for LexisMikaya, who was the one I looked at when I determined whether moderators look different :P

I know they're inactive now, but is it necessary to remove their moderator status?

Doomsday31415 (talk)16:10, 5 December 2014

I can't answer that. Moderators don't control general user groups and rights. I wasn't even aware she was removed from the moderator group until you pointed it out just now.

Just fixed this server-side so we don't have to use the JS hack that was there before. Seems we just had the color coding in the wrong place.

Nice!

In spite of the...rough nature of the request, I am inclined to agree with Lionheart aesthetically. I would personally prefer the image to not be in the info box, but unless this causes noticeable hardship on the wiki, it does not hurt to have a way to link/match the appropriate monsters.

THAT BEING SAID, she is still a Decepticon[[1]], and as Blargel has pointed out, you really need to find out what she wants before starting an edit war. If you still have a problem, take it up with someone higher.

There's already a link in the quest objectives (or there should be if there isn't already... I only checked Find a Black Buffalo). If you want a quick reference without clicking, maybe we could make the image pop up if you mouse over the link or something. The current placement looks awkward for sure, but I'm not against keeping it if someone can think of a less awkward way to do it.

Blargel (talk)18:55, 5 December 2014

This is something I really want to do eventually. :( For items, too.

Hover image or put it in the same section where it's linked.

I just find it useless to name the monsters in the quest objectives and then you have the info box to put the location of the mob if you want and/or link to the mob's page.

Just seems useless to have around if we're already naming the mob in bunch of other places. In one page, the targetmonster parameter is ignored completely, in some it's used. Too many places to put that information in.

Also why I got rid of Advice, it overlapped with Info.
