I would suggest a separate location and description columns Sarkastik (ContribsMessage) 18:58, November 23, 2019 (EST)

  • The system is a work in progress. What exactly do you propose and for what benefit. The current set up is intended to facilitate trap part locations and clean-up/decrease clutter on the page. We've also been considering adding DC information directly to the quest page and then pulling information from quest pages to build the DDO information project pages.  👟 ShoeMaker (Contribs • Message) 👟 19:46, November 23, 2019 (EST)
    • Perhaps notes, instead of description, is more appropriate. I'm just thinking from the perspective of the visual utility of the table that appears, to the average reader of a quest page ... from my point of view, if I'm reading the quest page for the first time, I want to know what traps there are, where they are, and useful info about them (e.g. "no box", "triggered when walking past such and such") Sarkastik (ContribsMessage) 22:54, November 23, 2019 (EST)
  • (comment moved here from wrong location): I agree with Sarkastik. The "type" column is mis-located and mis-named. When I think "type", I think "damage type" or maybe "trigger type". The type column is actually "salvage", and should be last, not first. It looks really odd to see "Fire" "fire trap …", "None" "Fire trap …". My first response is "how is a 'none' trap different to a 'fire' trap when they both deal fire damage. Nom (ContribsMessage) 06:59, January 17, 2020 (EST)

Suggested columns: (order TBD)

  • type (damage type)
  • location
  • disarm (box or level location - 'none' if omitted)
  • salvage
  • notes (fires once, etc)
