Nice work on the Tumerok Banners Quest, that's a beast of a quest. --Tlosk 01:42, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

The quest template is done (signed off on), anything that changes in the future will be minor and wouldn't require revisiting pages that have been converted. Tweaks now are mostly centered around dealing with exceptions. And I feel your pain hehe, I converted a couple thousand creature pages right before an important change was made to the Creature Template and I need to redo them now.

Because the template overhaul took several months I'm going to be going over them all again now as I prepare to release the next version of the Wiki Swiss Tool to make sure they are uniform in how they do things and in their documentation but all but two or three are done now and so the rest won't change in any significant way.

I really appreciate all your work on the old quests and patches, it's probably the reason for 90% of page views and several of us have been tied up with getting structural stuff done. --Tlosk 11:14, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

I fixed the experience rewards table for quest guide pages to handle situations where the reward isn't level based (a percentage). Because there are various possible permutations it turned out to not be possible to make the column go away without making it overly complex to use. Especially since some tasks might be level based and other tasks might not be within a single quest.

If a task gives fixed xp, set "Percent of Level" and/or "Repeat Percent of Level" to either "N/A" or to "Fixed" and then under that column it will display "Fixed XP" for the task instead of the ?? up to level ??. --Tlosk 14:28, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm in the process of going through the kill tasks to update them. (Sorry if my initial post was confusing, I'd forgotten who'd originally raised the issue two weeks ago and was thinking it was you when it was RyanR.) --Tlosk 21:41, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

The template assumes the base image is a given size and aspect ratio. I've got a stack of images to use for the patches before we got actual splash screens and I have cutout frames to make them all look the same format. I just finished the new version of the wiki swiss tool so that's a big monkey off my back so I hope to get to a bunch of things I've had on the back burner done now. I'm working on customizing an extension for displaying the time of last edit for lists of pages right now and when I'm done I'll frame up the images you used so they look right. (Along with the rest that I've got ready). --Tlosk 20:34, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

I just changed this so this is something new. For dungeons, on the creature lists, use | Location = Dungeon, the possible values are "Dungeon", "Landscape", and "Point of Interest". Where there are choices I've put all three so that the inapplicable ones can be erased but since the dungeon template will always be a dungeon location, I just set it to dungeon so you don't have to erase anything. --Tlosk 20:32, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

When we're done it will have segregated lists similar to how vendors will be seperate from other links to an item. For now it's just laying the groundwork.--Tlosk 20:40, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
