Cataclysm updates
Thank you for updating quest/npc articles with their new, post-Cataclysm state! A few requests, if you don't mind:
- Instead of just using {{removedfromgame}}, use
{{removedfromgame|patch=4.0.3a}}so it gets added to Category:Removed in patch 4.0.3a and not Category:Removed from World of Warcraft. - Add the four characters: "
|doc=" (without the quotes) to the questbox so the template will stop adding categories that are no longer valid (like "Alliance quests" and "Darkshore quests")
See this edit as an example.
Thanks again! Please keep up the good work. --k_d3 00:43, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
- Sure, picked up the 4.0.3a after a few edits, but not done any
|doc=so will keep an eye on that one for future edits Fluclo (talk) 01:49, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Quest pages
Hi there! Just wanted to tell you about a handy widget that pcj created which pretty much auto-creates the quest pages for you - you just need to add minor things like start/end npcs, rep, category, items gained, fix patch number, etc. I think you'd find it quite handy. :) Forum:New_'labs'_feature_-_automatically_create_starter_item_pages Ressy (talk) 01:46, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
- Oooh, must try that one, lots of new quests in Darkshore! Fluclo (talk) 01:50, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
- Oops.. Forgot something. If you preview the page before saving, and right-click on the wowhead link, you can easily grab the Progress & completed sections, along with any additional quest rewards, such as gear. Ressy (talk) 01:55, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
NPC pages
Hi, noticed you were updated some NPC pages by moving the cata section up and the intro to a history section, along with replacing the images... please don't remove the images that were there with those god awful images taken in the Cataclysm beta... if anything images get moved down, never just completely removed from the articles. Keep up the good work,

Item pages & Quest pages
Please don't remove {{Stub/Item}} from the pages if you don't add the necessary categories to the item's page. Keeping {{Stub/Item}} on the page flags the page in Category:Things to do as something on the page needs fixing so others can come behind and fix these minor things. As well, please view http://www.wowpedia.org/index.php?title=Quest:The_Looting_of_Althalaxx&curid=302445&diff=2522558&oldid=2522544 as things you should be including when you create the quest pages. You're doing great, thanks for contributing! Ressy (talk) 19:17, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
- What's missing from the item pages? Thought everything that could be added has been added, or is something missing? I add the source, the use (eg for quest) and the patch notes, I leave the stub in if it's a random drop (for other drops to be noted), otherwise if it's quest reward or a drop from a named mob, I've been removing, let me know what other detail would need to be added. As for quest pages, been leaving in the stub to help cover the missing bits (I'm not any good at typing and copying from wowhead)
