NPCs Thoughts

To include as much info as possible and help with searching, NPC page titles should include the entire name (first and last) but no titles (General, etc.). However, there should always be a redirect page from the first name only page. -Caraamon Strugr-Makdasi 14:06, 19 April 2008 (CDT)

Items

I think item titles should be the entire item name, minus any articles (a, an, some) (this will help or else everything's going to index under either "a" for "a,an" or "s" for "some"). In addition, since I added the core noun field to the item template, we may want to force each item to index by their core noun rather than whatever descriptor happens to be first. I can make the template do that if desired. -Caraamon Strugr-Makdasi 14:04, 19 April 2008 (CDT)

I personally kind of hate item articles since there are literally thousands of items in the game, but most people seem to want them, so... I'm ignoring this one ;) --Farman 14:19, 19 April 2008 (CDT)

style of intro text

It's actually unusual to make introductory text big like you had... common wiki style is to make a short intro above any headers in normal font with the name of the page bolded. --Farman 14:25, 19 April 2008 (CDT)
