Category talk:Quests

Help! Trying to link to other category pages, but it's not working. Have the following: "Quests are tasks given out by quest \[\[Category:NPCs]] that can lead to one or more \[\[Category:missions]]." (Added \ because it's doing it even here) How do I link to a category instead of assigning to?--darB 16:11, February 6, 2006 (PST)


 * You probably have figured it out, but I'll answer here just for future reference for others. Prefix the category namespace with a colon, like Category:NPCs and Category:missions . Dedridd 14:04, March 3, 2006 (EST)

Finding what you need
This is a great table chocked full of information. However, being used to datagrids, I immediately wanted to sort by the starting zone column to see all the quests that were available to me in the area I'm in. Is there a way to do this? Are there categories for each zone, such that when I go to a zone page it'll list all the quests available in that area? Or is there another way to do this? It could be a valuable tool for players in figuring out where to go next. Dedridd 14:04, March 3, 2006 (EST)


 * Not yet. Add it here: Enter:EnterWiki 2.0/Proposed - thanks! Would be nice feature to have, but I'll forget unless you add it there (-: 14:58, March 3, 2006 (EST)


 * I'm assuming you mean the ability to sort a table by a column. I don't see how you are going to do this with user-entered tables, but I added it to the page. Dedridd


 * I have an easy time thinking up ways to do things - the hard part is getting xevo to implement them. lol 16:09, March 3, 2006 (EST)

Categories
1. Quest by patron. We need a standardized list and spelling for all patrons. Right now, only some specific phrases show up in the "Quests by patron" page, and the capitalization rules in that list aren't consistent. These patrons should also be consistent across the whole wiki. Once this list is standardized, the quests can be combed for inconsistencies, so we don't have things like quests for "The Silver Flame" not showing up in the list of quests for "Silver flame" or, in fact, anywhere on the Quests by patron page at all.

2. There should also be a "Free quests" and a "Premium quests" category. At least, those are the names I propose. I'd like a consensus on this if I could get one, and on their names, before I actually do this. Corebreach 19:47, January 19, 2010 (EST)


 * i totally agree. the quest by patron is a pain to look at. let patron follow the naming convention in Adventure Compendium ingame. i agree with #2 also, maybe we can update the missioninfo template to contain it. i usually use my adpack template to mark a quest as requiring a particular adpack but it currently doesnt put quests in a categories. I like "Premium quests" better than "Pay2Play", which is misleading. -Sef326 22:30, January 19, 2010 (EST)


 * The Coins Lords, The Free Agents, The Silver Flame, The Twelve, The Yugoloth should be the standard imo. -Sef326 19:55, January 21, 2010 (EST)


 * well, check this out... its not just about patrons, but quest giver locations have some inconsistency too. you guys wanna fix that too? i.e. Harbor quests/The Harbor quests, Marketplace quests/the Marketplace quests etc. -yoko5000 23:03, January 21, 2010 (EST)


 * Yes. It's actually going to be harder, though, since we need to determine whether to list them by the zone they're actually started in or the zone they're listed in in the in-game compendium. Preferences? Corebreach 01:25, January 25, 2010 (EST)
