Talk:List of popular resting locations

As was stated, a work very much in progress. Bare with me, I will be using the "Minor edit" feature as much as is possible.

Make the title mostly lower case except where proper nouns are involved. The proper title of this article would be Popular resting locations of Elanthia, though, I'd probably aim for making it a List of popular resting locations, since, considering that this is a GemStone Wiki, the location can be assumed as being in Elanthia and since it is a list, it would be properly labeled as a list. As such, apply the Lists category (Category:Lists). Lastly, avoid all caps in the headers. - Andy ^talk 17:12, 8 November 2007 (EST)

One more thing to add: you do NOT need to put your name in the article. The update history of the article has your name. Any more than that is redundant. You probably do not need to put your email address up for 'future update suggestions' as anyone can update this article if they've an account, or if they want to give suggestions, they'd do so here, like I am. That is all. - Andy ^talk 23:24, 9 November 2007 (EST)

Thanks for the information, and for the minor corrects. I like having my name on the article as I may one day change my handle away from Sardinus, yet still want people to know who to contact should they have suggestions for the site. Not everyone that views the krakiipedia is an editor.

Regardless of this, you're not the only editor, and it is somewhat unprofessional to tag articles like you have. Now, if you wanted to make a guide, like you did with the spell collecting guide of yours, it would be handled differently. Guides are pretty much the property of those who wrote them, and any formatting would be up to the desires of the author. Normal articles, like the format this one is in (it doesn't have the 'guide' category or have 'guide' in the title) are handled as professionally as possible; that is, it is supposed to be written like an encyclopedia. If you do want to keep information like that available but keep the article a normal article and not a guide, it is best to put it at the top of the discussion page, which happens to be this page. I would probably prefer you use that method over a guide, as guides don't tend to get updated if the original author leaves GS. - Andy ^talk 17:36, 17 November 2007 (EST)

Fair enough. My only qualm with this is 1. Not everyone knows the Wiki engine like you do, and 2. Even if they do, they may not be editors. Not everyone will know TO look at the discussions page. Hell, I stumbled across this site when doing the scroll collecting guide someone else posted from one of my posts on the boards, and just went to work. I had no idea what I was doing, and learned as I went. I didn't even NOTICE the discussion section until after I had put hours and hours into updating. That being said, yes, I suppose it is pride that makes me want people to know I put the effort into gathering this data, and for that I apologize. Still, I think leaving the information up there increases the odds that Joe Everyman will notice that I am missing a room, and send me the info to update it. Versus Joe Everyman 1. Becoming an editor and fixing the page itself, or 2. Go to the discussion's link on the top of the page and see where my contact information is found. Hell, even if I get an OOC whisper in game saying, "Hey, ya dummie, you forgot soandso room on your guide. Fix it!", I would consider that worthwhile. If it is truly a point of contention, and goes against the spirit of this webpage as a whole, I will change it, though.

Two missing Icemule Rooms, the Ice Garden (N,E,NE, go gate) which I'd rate infrequent, and the thirsty penguin parlour (from town well N, go door, E) which I'd rate seldom. Both are oft used resting spots and super nodes. Also Icemule's town centre has comparable population to the Landings, I'd change it to crowded. Drew 07:51, 24 November 2007 (EST)

Thanks for the info. I updated the town square's occupancy rating, and will have the rooms added tomorrow.
