I think it would be handy on the main page, under "The World" at the bottom there, to have a link to a global search for both Festivals and Quests. Festivals would have a link to each of the main festival pages (ex. [[Guildfest_405]]) and Quest would have links to each variation of the different quest runs (ex. [[Akigwe%27s_Legacy:_Secrets_of_the_Tower_Quest]]). |

Updates to Crafting Systems section
I'd like to propose a cleanup of the "Creation Systems" on the main page. This is probably a contentious topic, but I would rather not clutter the page with Skills vs Disciplines and stick to the current "systems" that can create things. Simplicity is king. Poison making was left off the other creation systems list on purpose. - Padhg (talk) 18:13 4 December 2015 (UTC)
Creation Systems
Five Crafting disciplines are to be released as part of the Mechanical Lore split:
- Alchemy
- Enchanting (not yet released)
- Engineering
- Forging
- Tailoring
Other creation systems:
- I believe the above should work well, but the 5 crafting skill pages need to be updated before this goes live. - Padhg (talk) 17:28 6 January 2016 (UTC)
Exception error when linking to Necromancer page.
I get an exception error when trying to access the Necromancer page along with a bunch of what looks like coding. Could someone look into this?
