'''Sailor Wills''' is a member of the crew of [[the Bravery|the ''Bravery'']], the boat that runs between [[Stormwind Harbor]] and [[Auberdine]]. He's the oldest member of the crew, but does like to brag about being also the toughest.

If someone has completed an epic item quality archaeology artifact (see how quickly that becomes cumbersome?), could they say if there's a "completed epic artifacts" section under completed artifacts?

Revision as of 20:02, 14 December 2010

Forums: Village pump → Archaeology structures

As one of those who revel in wiki architecture, I find myself needing outside opinions.

Things found (solved) by Archaeology: If we call them artifacts, we have to disambiguate between them and the Artifact item quality. But the Archaeology "completed artifacts" tab calls them artifacts.

It gets better! "Completed Common Artifacts" are uniformly poor quality items. "Completed Rare Artifacts" may include epic quality items, I do not know.


Oh, and there's always the question: prefix the category with 'World of Warcraft' or not.


My current scheme has:

  • Categories called Archaeology finds (no 'world of warcraft')
  • Subcategories of "poor", "common", "rare", "epic" on item quality.

I am not heavily invested in 'finds', and could support "Archaeology artifacts". Also, I could throw in and support "common" and "rare" based on the archaeology dialog. I'd rather not add "World of Warcraft" to everything.

If someone has completed an epic item quality archaeology artifact (see how quickly that becomes cumbersome?), could they say if there's a "completed epic artifacts" section under completed artifacts?


Also, I'm intending to put archaeology dig sites on individual pages, unless someone says "don't do that". --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 19:25, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
