To-Do List

Introduction

There are a lot of missing pages and blank spaces in this wiki. In an effort to assist in finding all the problems, please edit this page with bulleted lists of things you see that need done. When an item on the list has been worked on, indicate with parenthesis what was done, and if it still needs more info, pictures, formatting, or anything else.

The main goal for this page is to lay out everything that needs user contributions, so even if you only have a few minutes, it is very easy to find something you are particularly interested in or knowledgeable about and shape it up a bit. Be ambitious!

Important

• Stat Squish - As of Patch 6.0 all sources of EXP are now out of date. All gear pages will be incorrect as well.
  • Gatherer's Boon (I have attempted to remove references to HQ gathering, but may have missed some Freedom4556 (talk) 18:20, 30 December 2021 (UTC))
• Party Finder needs updating to current state. I have added explanations linking to the PF page to all the ARR and HW Ex trials, so now we need to beef it up.
• PvP-related pages are outdated
  • PvP Rank needs attention, PvP Gear needs the Stormblood sets, and PvP Actions needs the Additional Actions added somewhere.

• Performance Actions - Instruments
• Category:Pages_with_deprecated_templates
• Wanted Pages
• User interface
• Need to improve seafood, Fishing Guide and Big Fishing.
  • Fishing Holes - update or merge? - Currently working on this (and above point) as part of Seafood/Fishing hole/log updates - all these old grey templates will be removed eventually. - JohnnySolas (talk)

• A Realm Reborn Overhaul needs quest step counts updated. Remove the comment where the step count is the same

Endwalker

• Collectables
• Collectable Appraiser - all need updated with Scrip changes, 81+ items
• Fishing Collectables
• Tomes of Regional Folklore (Fisher)
• Ephemeral Nodes
  • Aetherial Reduction
• Unspoiled Mining Nodes, Unspoiled Botanist Nodes
• Endwalker Fishing Locations - currently working on this, and all previous Fishing hole locations as part of Seafood update - JohnnySolas (talk)
  • Endwalker Spearfishing Locations

We need to decide if it's okay to post full custcene videos on quest pages. I'm not talking about trial/raid/dungeon guides. These are Let's Play type videos containing all story content. It's a copyright issue. See all recent Endwalker quests, ex Where Kn∞wledge Leads.

• I have removed them all for now, and I agree, it's also been highlighted that its self promoting their own videos.
  • We have another issue of a particular user doing nothing but adding their own Youtube videos to every possible article page. No text contributions at all.

Links to Eorzea Database and Garland Tools in Quest and Item Infoboxes

I added support for links to Eorzea Database and Garland Tools, where more information can be found about any given quest or item. Simply enter the ID numbers from the URLs into the id-edb and id-gt parameters. Examples can be found on It's Probably Pirates (Quest) and Max-Potion (Item). More information can be found on Template:Quest_infobox and Template:Item_infobox.

Here are the additional arguments for It's Probably Pirates:

| id-edb = 83266250b51
| id-gt = 65781

• • Just a suggestion for this? Would it make more sense to just add a query search and make the wiki do the work? So for EDB it will just use the query search + the item and find it - instead of us going through all the items again and adding the Id number? (http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/search/?q=<item here>) Very similar to how other wikis do it (not just ffxiv ones).

Inline Quest Links

I created a template for inline quest links such as It's Probably Pirates to standardize the links and their icons and make them easier to work with. Please change existing links to use the template. For example, change this:

[[File:Mainscenarioquest.png|link=Quests|20px|Main Quest]] [[It's Probably Pirates]]

To this:

{{questlink|main|It's Probably Pirates}}

See Template:questlink for instructions on how to use the template.

Quest List Template

• Requesting an addition to the properties for the Quest formatting templates. PollyEdaline (talk) 02:19, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
  • Add a "required items" property that can be optionally called by the table
  • Split guaranteed and optional rewards on the table, with optional rewards being an optional parameter

Guides

• Guides - Add to or create any of the guides for classes, crafting etc. Most needed guide are crafting class ones.
  • Reaper Guide, Sage Guide
  • Blue Mage Guide, Alchemist Guide, Armorer Guide, Carpenter Guide
• Leveling Guide - Update/replace and expand
• PvP Guide
• Guide for Players New to the MMORPG Genre
• Guide for Players Coming from World of Warcraft
• Guide for Players Coming from Elder Scrolls Online
• Guide for Players Coming from Guild Wars 2
• Guide for Players Coming from Star Wars: The Old Republic

Crafting and Gathering

• Stormblood Fishing Locations - add in more info as we get it
• Stormblood Spearfishing Locations - add in more info as we get it
• Shadowbringers Fishing Locations - add in more info as we get it
• Some Levequest Entries - Number of items required to complete levequest should be added.
• Collectables - template created for new rarefied turn ins

• Do we want to converte levequests / guildleves to the Quest Infobox like Rodents of Unusual Size as been done?
  • I was going too after I finished converting all the FATES look at creating a new template to replace the old grey one, but if the quest infobox template works then go ahead. Comparing the two templates quickly - I think the only missing thing is 'category' from the newer template? JohnnySolas (talk)
    • That seems to be the case. It is used for the plate name, like "constancy" etc. There are 1504 guildleves on the old template by the transclusion count, so it will be a slow process. Freedom4556 (talk) 22:33, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
  • With this it'd be nice to move to a guildleve list template, following the example of Template:Quest_list. The Carpenter Levequests ARR table looks v nice to my eyes. One option would be to extend the quest list template, but I think there's enough difference here to just have separate templates, maybe one for Battlecraft leves and one for Tradecraft and Fieldcraft leves. Would also help in propagating the exp changes across the wiki. Lvdr (talk) 10:40, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
    • Template:Quest_list does not work as depicted in its usage section. It only seems to work for required items, not quest names or required class. Freedom4556 (talk) 19:22, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

Side Quests

• Winebaud's Riddles - solve and add all the riddles for The Greatest Story Never Told quest
• Hildibrand - add storyline and lore for Hildibrand quests
• Requesting a change to Template:Quest infobox for a field to indicate quest sync and maybe the level sync range (for beast tribes and Stormblood+ sidequests).

Locations

• Locations - For most pages in locations, maps need to be updated and NPCs and areas of interest need to be added.

Items

• Seafood - currently working on updating all Seafood pages so they are consistent - JohnnySolas (talk)
• Glamour Sets
• Armoire
  • Is there a way to automatically make a list where Property:Is storable = true ?
    • I've added something but very basic bulletlist with an ask query.
• Some items are missing references to vendors and need to be updated.
• Mounts need images

Dungeon/Trial/Raid Guides

• Asphodelos the individual floors could use layout consistency. Third Circle is pretty good.
