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. --[[User:MooNFisH|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...

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?  --[[User:DaveGarber1975|Dave Garber]] 15:30, 8 February 2007 (CST)

Version B...

−
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.--[[User:Neyne|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. --[[User:MooNFisH|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?  --[[User:DaveGarber1975|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. --[[User:MooNFisH|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.  --[[User:DaveGarber1975|Dave Garber]] 19:15, 8 February 2007 (CST)

::Redundancy eliminated.  --[[User:DaveGarber1975|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.--[[User:Neyne|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.--[[User:Neyne|Neyne]] 19:21, 8 February 2007 (CST)
 
−
 
 
−
:We do have pages for a few rooms--banks, donation rooms, infirmaries, and pet shops.  And there's some other potentially-useful information within that category, as well.  Still, you may be right.  --19:24, 8 February 2007 (CST)

At present, there are two votes for A and one vote for B.  Also, please note that Maps, just like Mobs and Objects and Rooms, is (or, at least has always been until now) parallel to the Areas category and not underneath it; this is why it is bold and uses a different-colored background.  Neyne suggests that perhaps we should eliminate the Rooms row; I'm not as certain, as this row have some useful info like where to find a bank, what different room flags mean, and everything that you might want to know about doors.  --[[User:DaveGarber1975|Dave Garber]] 22:54, 8 February 2007 (CST)

Revision as of 23:54, 8 February 2007

Okay, here are our two remaining candidates!

Version A...

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

Version B...

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


At present, there are two votes for A and one vote for B. Also, please note that Maps, just like Mobs and Objects and Rooms, is (or, at least has always been until now) parallel to the Areas category and not underneath it; this is why it is bold and uses a different-colored background.
