Template talk:XP bonus

The whole purpose of this template at this time is to reduce the amount of typing need to add the bonuses to each quest; however, I am not completely happy with the variable name setup but can't think of anything better at this time without typing out the full first word.. Maybe a four character abbr of the most important word? Suggestions to my talk page please.. ShoeMaker 15:57, April 24, 2011 (EDT)


 * Heh, all that typing is EXACTLY why I keep the basic stuff for XP and Collectibles on my page - just edit, highlight, copy, and then paste... and then all I hafta do is fill in the numbers. Can't think of anything to make your template easier, unless you did separate templates for sneak/kills/traps/doors/smash (or whatever).  Then you could just do, say, "kills|23|28|33" or "kills|23|28" or "kills|||33" if you miss the first two. - LrdSlvrhnd 16:30, April 24, 2011 (EDT)

I was just thinking of doing something similar, but in a table format. Say 5 columns wide (200px wide each), 4 rows deep (header, 3 rows showing requirements for the bonuses), this way we don't have to deal with as much eyestrain trying to fish out the numbers from the bullet-points. The XP information is nice, but I think it adds TMI to an already cluttered page.

Here's a Table I whipped up using your variables!

The only problem I see with this concept is what if only the breakables numbers are available? Then it would be more clutter than not.... I choose to use the bullet method because that is what is currently on all of the pages that have Bonus XP counts / %s available. If all of the numbers (Or even 4/5 columns worth) then yours would probably look better.. Put your table into Template:Sandbox/Taurolyon and pick a quest with a lot of the numbers available and one with only a few numbers available and use your template. Just comment out what is currently there with &lt;!-- Commented out stuff --&gt;. Then post a couple links on this talk page so everyone can look at at and see how it looks.
