:I removed it because I saw Porcell verify that this was indeed the case. Also, it is the case that a wind wraith gives say 60 units of favor (or whatever level they are). So the note was just removed because your information is indeed correct ;). However, I'm not sure how much favor you gain just from watching something get pwnt. Also, even though that note is huge and f2cking red on the 925 page, I hate it. But that's just me. [[User:ALKALOIDS|justin]] <sup>[[User talk:ALKALOIDS|talk]]</sup> 17:59, 28 November 2006 (EST)

So one thing I've noticed about this page, you linked the living hell out of things. So you have a passage that's like this:

Where both favor and globe are linked excessively. On the style page it says you only need to link them the first time you use them. If it's a long page, and hasn't been linked in awhile you can link it again, but don't need to. On the other hand, I don't tend to link things nearly enough, so who knows. Rafi knows, but he doesn't contribute often enough. Also, I removed all the links to the levels of favor page because I think that that doesn't need its own page and directing to a favor page is fine. That's just my opinion though. Otherwise, good start on a very important page, and I learned some things checking it over, which is fun. justin talk 12:46, 28 November 2006 (EST)


Totally my bad. I'm very used to working on a mathematics page where every single time a term is referenced, it must be linked for clarity to at least a definition page, and at best a disambiguation page. It's super important for mathematics, I suppose, where every character can have a number of meanings. I'll clean up the links on this page and some of my other ones with this rule in mind later tonight. THIKKET 15:17, 28 November 2006 (EST)

Most terms should be linked, but only the first appearance needs to be linked unless the page is extremely long. I generally use once per two sections, since that's usually about enough to fill a screen. It's not a huge big deal, but articles just look silly when they've over-linked.

Why was the verification note removed from this page? It's very important that this information is out of date. I and Sigurd haven't done research for like eight years... The note was: NOTE: The following notes on favor are based on research performed in Gemstone III, not Gemstone IV. Facts about favor usage and costs should be re-verified. I copied the style from the 925 page. I think it should remain, but I don't know if there's a rule against this. Please respond. THIKKET 17:17, 28 November 2006 (EST)

I removed it because I saw Porcell verify that this was indeed the case. Also, it is the case that a wind wraith gives say 60 units of favor (or whatever level they are). So the note was just removed because your information is indeed correct ;). However, I'm not sure how much favor you gain just from watching something get pwnt. Also, even though that note is huge and f2cking red on the 925 page, I hate it. But that's just me. justin talk 17:59, 28 November 2006 (EST)
