Template talk:Quests by DPL

Can we have a simple indicator that if a pack belongs to an expansion or not? For example, "The Isle of Dread" would be "The Isle of Dread (Exp)" or something else. &rArr; Targal (Contribs • Message • Email ) 01:53, March 14, 2023 (EDT) Okay, so I updated a few quests to see what things would look like and if anything would be affected. I've made a test section below to show the results of the changes. Just need to update all the adpack quest pages now, I think. &#x1f45f;&thinsp;ShoeMaker ( Talk • Contribs • Email  • Patrol • Moves • B • D • I • PP • UM • UR ) &thinsp;&#x1f45f; 11:25, March 15, 2023 (EDT)
 * This might be a good idea, but I'm not sure your particular suggestion would work, because DPL takes parameters directly from another template (T:Quest in this case), so we'd have to change the "adventure pack" parameter on the quests which would mess up categorisation elsewhere. Maybe we could colour-code things like we do on the patron pages? &rArr; PurpleSerpent (Contribs • Message • Email ) 07:36, March 14, 2023 (EDT)
 * This can not be done with the current set up. If this is something a majority would like, we could probably repurpose the  to be a   to allow multiple responses instead of an   making it a boolean.  Then, the choices could be Yes for free for all, VIP for free for VIP (adpacks), and No for not free for any (expansions).  Thoughts?  &#x1f45f;&thinsp;ShoeMaker ( Talk • Contribs • Email  • Patrol • Moves • B • D • I • PP • UM • UR ) &thinsp;&#x1f45f; 20:36, March 14, 2023 (EDT)
 * I think that would work, but seems to be a bad name for the flag, because being VIP isn't free at all. I mean it's difficult to be boolean. maybe free (or no), vip and exp? &rArr; Targal (Contribs • Message • Email ) 22:42, March 14, 2023 (EDT)
 * That sounds like a good approach. We can also then leave free as it is so it doesn't mess up the colouration on the favor tables. &rArr; PurpleSerpent (Contribs • Message • Email ) 22:57, March 14, 2023 (EDT)
 * It's not about VIP being free, it's about the quest being free. Adventure packs are free to VIPs.  If we add a new parameter instead of modify the existing one, we'll have to go through and add it to every quest page and it'll affect historical page versions.  By using the existing parameter as I proposed, the historical versions will be unaffected and it'll be easy to have the bot go through all the adpack pages and change no or free to VIP.  Again, it's not about what you pay for VIP, it's whether or not it's "Free with VIP" as SSG would say.  &#x1f45f;&thinsp;ShoeMaker ( Talk • Contribs • Email  • Patrol • Moves • B • D • I • PP • UM • UR ) &thinsp;&#x1f45f; 23:08, March 14, 2023 (EDT)
 * Fair point. Just make sure to update whichever template is doing the favor tables on patron pages, since that's also dependent on free. &rArr; PurpleSerpent (Contribs • Message • Email ) 23:12, March 14, 2023 (EDT)
 * It shouldn't affect those. They assume anything that's not Yes is No, IIRC. So, VIP will still use the boolean logic and since it's not Yes, it'll be no. &#x1f45f;&thinsp;ShoeMaker ( Talk • Contribs • Email  • Patrol • Moves • B • D • I • PP • UM • UR ) &thinsp;&#x1f45f; 10:37, March 15, 2023 (EDT)
 * I don't know any technical aspect of this, so I think I am fine with anything. &rArr; Targal (Contribs • Message • Email ) 08:13, March 15, 2023 (EDT)
