I've finished my map editor and will be going through the unmapped dungeons first, then going through the rest as time permits so that we can have a set of displayable maps for the wiki. I'm making a minor update to the dungeon page template by adding a "Portals" section and an "Items and Objects" section that will just be lists of links. Also I'm removing the true false parameters for the section links and it will just display them all by default (we can leave empty sections if there's nothing applicable, then if the dungeon is updated later it will already having a section for it. Since I'll be going through all the dungeon pages I wanted to get feedback and check to see if there's anything else useful that might be added or changed to the Dungeon Template page template.
The current iteration can be seen at Monouga Feeding Pits (it is using {{Sandbox}} until the changes are finalized).
Added an optional Dereth Map parameter that will display a {{Map Point}} map to the right of any live image. --Tlosk talk contr 18:04, January 1, 2010 (UTC)
The live image at the top should probably be 300x300 or 300x400 to fit with our standard size for live images, but thats a minor issue.
Just a thought - what about arranging it like the quest template? Move the summary, live image, and the map point to be in a column aligned right. This allows for more useful info (like monster spawns) to be closer to the top of the page.

I just added in a dereth map that's inline with the live image and summary box. Originally having the summary box on the right was how I was setting up the template (back for the redesign at the start of 2009) but having the text wrap on the left meant that for some dungeons with little to start the map image would get pushed way down because it's almost always too wide to wrap.
At least the hotlinks at the top let you quickly jump to a section you want to go to. Also now that they are all displayed by default they will always be in the same order/location to make it cognitively less demanding.
As I go through making the maps I'll add a standard size image to the top and move any nonstandard size images down to the images section so that it will be more uniform. Do you think 300x300, 300x400, or 400x400 would be best? --Tlosk talk contr 21:11, January 1, 2010 (UTC)
