Rename article?

This is a pure walkthrough as opposed to being an article that describes the quest, so I think it should be renamed "100th Circle Moon Mage Quest walkthrough".

The link on the Moon Mage page should also reflect this IMO. I'd do it now but I can't quite figure out an elegant way to indicate that. In the best case there would be a main article about the quest which gets a link from the guild page, then the walkthrough article would be linked from that. --Farman 23:32, 20 February 2008 (CST)
