Quest Infobox
How do you feel about doing an infobox template for quests in the style of your NPC info box? See Give 110 for an example quest article filled in with its pertinent information. I don't know enough about wiki markup to do it, but you seem to. It would help a lot as I go forward with quests to have that box do its thing without multiple entries on my part. Thankee. --Cydira 18:27, 9 November 2007 (CET)
- I'm on it. --Pixelz 19:57, 9 November 2007 (CET)
- It looks good, but the page as a whole still looks wrong. Maybe it needs a table down in the rewards section? What do you think? --Cydira 23:13, 9 November 2007 (CET)
Include a Navbox?
Can the infobox include a navbox? I'm just thinking about whether we want vertical or horizontal navboxes for the quest lines. If we can include the vertical navbox in the infobox (which floats on the right), that would solve a lot of problems, but I don't know if it can be done because I'm not sure how it would parse the five curly braces (since the name of the navbox would have to be a variable). --Cydira 16:18, 2 December 2007 (CET)
- I've never tried putting a template in a template using a variable but I'm sure it has to be possible. I don't really understand what you want with this though. Wouldn't a navbox for all quests be overly huge? --Pixelz 18:49, 3 December 2007 (CET)
- Nono, it would only be for the current quest line's navbox in the infobox for those quests. Also, including the separate Act navboxes in one for the whole London story would be nice, too. --Cydira 19:20, 3 December 2007 (CET)
- I guess putting the quest line in the infobox would be nice, but does it have to be in its own template? The Act navboxes would have to be a separate thing however. --Pixelz 19:35, 3 December 2007 (CET)
- If it's its own template, then we can use the same template on the NPC's page to show what quests it gives. Then the information's only in one place, really, in case of updates. Using a variable makes it so we don't need more than one infobox. --Cydira 19:38, 3 December 2007 (CET)
- I guess we can get the template to highlight one of the quests in the quest line on its own. Not sure if we can get that working until parsing functions are fixed though. Now that I think about it, we can have one "master template" for quest line boxes that does the highlighting and general formatting. All the quest line box templates would then just call that one. Makes editing layout easier. So that's one template for the quest navbox that calls the "slave quest line box" which in turn calls the "master quest line box" that does the actual formatting and stuff. --Pixelz 19:44, 3 December 2007 (CET)
- Actually, strike that. I just realized that the quest line box would just be a regular table so no "formatting" would occur anyway. Just one template for each quest line should be fine --Pixelz 19:53, 3 December 2007 (CET)
I don't care
If your graphics card is not the best on the market.
You took a screen shot, cropped it and uploaded it. 10/10

Images and Thumbnails
Is there a way to make the pictures on Dye Kits display in the table as thumbnails? They're just there so people have an idea; they shouldn't overwhelm the page. Thank you very much for your help. --Cydira 19:02, 10 November 2007 (CET)
- I did this some time ago and forgot to comment on it here. Replied now for reference --Pixelz 19:56, 3 December 2007 (CET)
Template:NPC Infobox
Your Template:NPC Infobox. Can it be edited? I don't know how to do it, but it would be nice if it could categorise in a slightly different way. At the moment it creates a category category:NPC:Medics for example. That's not that bad, but for Quest NPCs it puts them into category:NPC:Otional Quest Givers rather than the category:Optional Quest NPCs that we have been using (and which is already a sub-category of NPC). Dark Matter 00:39, 21 November 2007 (CET)
- That does look a bit advanced ;) If that template could be changed to make "Category:Optional Quest NPCs" that would be great. I changed the categories of NPCs to make it easier to overview. --Leord 11:51, 21 November 2007 (CET)
- I was planning on making it better as soon as the new mediawiki version gets installed. --Pixelz 17:54, 21 November 2007 (CET)
- Yes, I get the hint *pulling up bullwhip and goes to look for Rush* --Leord 14:21, 22 November 2007 (CET)
