Good point, I added crosslinks to all three, now that there's a lot more content it would be a good idea to start cross linking things as much as possible to help navigation and so people can find stuff that people might not know is there.

And thanks for all the great work on getting the spells up, that's a real mountain of items hehe. --Tlosk 14:34, 10 January 2009 (CST)

I saw you made some big changes to the article Dereth: A Brief History for Travelers‎, first with (+38,455) then (-19,047). I'm just curious, what was all the stuff you added and subtracted? --An Adventurer 15:40, 27 October 2008 (CDT)

re:spells
Unique spells like that can have their own page, marked as Category:Unlearnable Castable Spell. The only time that a unique quest only spell should redirect to a standard spell page is when it has an effect that can be seen to stack with or surpass regular spells. For example, there are many quest only cantrips (like on the living weapons, or the spear of purity) but these can be proven to stack or override standard spells and cantrips.

So in short, most unique quest/item spells that mimic a life, creature, or item spell/cantrip will redirect to the appropriate page. Unique war and offensive life spells will have an individual page. And I think, for now at least, most of those special boss only debuffs should have unique pages, since many of them do not have a standard spell counterpart, and it is also rather difficult to find what standard debuffs they do stack with. --An Adventurer 18:30, 19 December 2008 (CST)

Dispels

I was thinking that all dispels (castable and on gems) would all have a unique spell pages. The castable versions would be tagged with category:spell and category:<school> spell. And then all would be tagged with category:Dispel. --An Adventurer 16:11, 8 January 2009 (CST)

My reasoning is that all the spells are named differently, and not <name> I, II, III, etc. But I suppose redirecting them will work, assuming they follow a pattern with spell comps/spell words. --An Adventurer 16:56, 8 January 2009 (CST)

Yeah looks like the castable+learnable dispels can be redirects like standard spells. --An Adventurer 17:28, 8 January 2009 (CST)

The dispels look fine. Thanks for helping out on the redirects too. --An Adventurer 14:06, 9 January 2009 (CST)

-Hi, for the vast majority of disambiguation cases we'd do what you did for chicken, but chicken, along with a handful of other cases are exceptions. Normally the items to be disambiguated are the same "tier" in the namiing priority list. However in cases where there is an item higher (not the same tier) then that item gets the unmodified name. For example Skeleton, Chicken, etc. The original discussion where we hashed it out was on the old forum, but An Adventurer put down the results on [[Naming Conventions]]. If you could revert them back when you get the chance that would be great, thanks. --[[User:Tlosk|Tlosk]] 14:10, 10 January 2009 (CST)

-Yeah, not as often as I'd like (it's not a graceful procedure and requires locking the wiki while it takes place so read only). But at least we'll something recent to work with if the worst should happen. --[[User:Tlosk|Tlosk]] 16:34, 17 December 2008 (CST)
