Template talk:Area Quick-Links

A modest proposal for MooNFisH, master of Templates...

Area Quick-Links Table

Areas:	Lawful		Special		Maps:		Grandfathered
	01-10	11-20	21-30	31-40	41-50	Hero	Grandfathered
Mobs:	Types		Auras		Flags		Grandfathered
Objects:	Types		Values		Flags		Grandfathered
Rooms:	Types		Terrains		Exits		Doors

Hmmm, what do you think? --Dave Garber 22:01, 7 February 2007 (CST)

Here's a modest proposal for Dave Garber, master of negotiation :P

Something different

Area Quick-Links Table

Areas:	Lawful				Special				Maps
	01-10		11-20		21-30		31-40		41-50		Hero
Mobs:	Types				Auras				Flags
Objects:	Types				Values				Flags
Rooms:	Types			Terrains			Exits			Doors
Grandfathered:	Maps			Areas			Mobs			Gear

I mean, I didn't like the big Grandfathered at the rightmost side of the table. And since I made it a bit less wide, I thought I'd compensate for that. --Llanor 05:09, 8 February 2007 (CST)

And Now for Something Completely Different (Well, Not Really)

Ah! Yeah, I can understand that. My thoughts are either (1) to experiment with your suggestion above a bit more and to submit a third proposal that may be even better than both of ours above or (2) to eliminate the rightmost column of my first proposal entirely like this...

Area Quick-Links Table

Areas:	01-10	11-20	21-30	31-40	41-50	Hero
	Lawful		Special		Maps
Mobs:	Types		Auras		Flags
Objects:	Types		Values		Flags
Rooms:	Types		Terrains		Exits & Doors

Or, perhaps even better, this...

Area Quick-Links Table

Areas:	01-10	11-20	21-30	31-40	41-50	Hero	Maps
	Lawful			Special
Mobs:	Types		Auras		Flags
Objects:	Types		Values		Flags
Rooms:	Types		Terrains		Exits & Doors

This table doesn't necessarily have to include every category. I'm wondering if Grandfathered stuff would best be included in this table or if it would be best left off. What do you think? --Dave Garber 15:30, 8 February 2007 (CST)

The first one. And I don't think grandfathered gear needs to be in quick links, since it probably isn't a very frequented category.--Neyne 18:17, 8 February 2007 (CST)

I like the third one, out of the 4 total. But with a minor change, we should lose the bold fond on 'Maps'. And the link in the header can be taken out, since it's in the first column already. Aside from those two minor things, it's perfect. --Llanor 18:47, 8 February 2007 (CST)

Ah, okay. True, it is a bit redundant to have two links; but it does make it consistent with the other tables. Also, what's wrong with the bold? --Dave Garber 18:56, 8 February 2007 (CST)

I just figured, for consistency, that the bold should only be used for group indicators, like in the leftmost column. But I suppose it looks alright, I won't be nitpicking endlessly about such things. And you're right on the consistency on that part. --Llanor 19:12, 8 February 2007 (CST)

Yes, it is. And Maps is a group. It's not underneath Areas, it's parallel to it, just like Mobs and Objects and Rooms. --Dave Garber 19:15, 8 February 2007 (CST)

Redundancy eliminated. --Dave Garber 19:17, 8 February 2007 (CST)

Oh, by first one I meant first one in this section, i.e. third from the top.--Neyne 19:10, 8 February 2007 (CST)

Also, I think the last line should be removed too. I don't think anyone is interested in general info about rooms, and we don't even have pages for rooms anyway. And it'll make the template slimmer too.--Neyne 19:21, 8 February 2007 (CST)

Or Maybe This?

	Lawful			Special			Objects:	Types	Values	Flags
Maps							Rooms:	Types	Terrains	Exits & Doors

Hmmm, I just keep a-tinkerin'... --Dave Garber 18:53, 8 February 2007 (CST)

Sorry. :( No. --Llanor 19:07, 8 February 2007 (CST)

Okay. *lol* My favorite is the fourth from the top, by the way. --Dave Garber 19:09, 8 February 2007 (CST)
