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  • Stat Squish - As of Patch 6.0 all sources of Experience EXP are now out of date.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))
    • All Belts removed from loot tables and sidequests. Report in if you find any lingering. Freedom4556 (talk) 17:40, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
      • If someone could go through every individual Belt page and delete the Crafting Recipe section, that would remove all the belts from the recipe lists automatically. Preferably somebody with bot access. Freedom4556 (talk) 22:48, 26 January 2022 (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  • PvP-related pages are outdated

Endwalker

Lore


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 Main Scenario QuestWhere Kn∞wledge Leads.

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 Main Scenario QuestIt'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 Main Scenario QuestIt'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 Main Scenario QuestIt'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.

Templates

  • Template:Dropped by needs another column to display the value of the | coordinates = parameter immediately after the location.
    • Also, we need to fix the way it reacts to items in secondary chests in dungeons, see all Stormblood dungeons: ex. Rhino Beetle Carapace and Sirensong Sea. Freedom4556 (talk) 16:35, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
    • Coordinates added. IMO the best way to handle dungeons would be to filter them from the initial #ask altogether, and just have a separate list (like Rhino Beetle Carapace does, although it could be made into a similar template). Lvdr (talk) 08:48, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
      • Separate template for dungeons sounds like a good idea. Filtering them out of the mob drop template is probably best. Freedom4556 (talk) 16:39, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
  • Template:Vendor table needs to be fixed to work as described. Ideally, I'd like to use it on pages like Tarnished Alexandrian Bolt to show all the items that can be gotten in exchange for the item on the page. Right now we are having to build those tables manually, like on Behemoth Horn. Basically, the opposite of what Template:Vendor list does, which is all the vendors selling the item. I want all the vendors selling other things in exchange for the item. Freedom4556 (talk) 16:39, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
  • 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
      • Added. Lvdr (talk) 10:12, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
    • Split guaranteed and optional rewards on the table, with optional rewards being an optional parameter
      • Did this with split-optional-rewards parameter to table header; needs item-rewards parameter to work. This way the behavior doesn't change for existing tables. Lvdr (talk) 13:48, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
  • The Action Infobox Template could use a tweak to prevent Casting from being a property that shows up on every infobox, as the information is not necessary and every other property is technically optional (even the Name, although this will always at least pull from the page title). I've already tweaked it so that Range, Radius, and Targeting are no longer mysteriously in the same function and will no longer show on every single action box even when the information is completely irrelevant or self-evident. They can still be filled in if necessary and can display. PollyEdaline (talk) 22:15, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
  • Do we want to converte levequests / guildleves to the Quest Infobox like LevequestRodents 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)
  • Replace Quest pages with modernized markup (requires some additional template properties, see #Templates) PollyEdaline (talk) 02:41, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
  • Overhauled DoH/L pages to match combat pages, should probably also do another pass on them to actually add more relevant information or even generalized information, which was sorely lacking before
  • Probably remove the "requires quest" column from the actions template or at least double check that it's working since I don't think it was even before I changed it PollyEdaline (talk) 04:01, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
    • The only crafter action that is on a class quest is Manipulation and it's the level 65 quest for each class. Freedom4556 (talk) 06:16, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
      • Yeah I'm not entirely certain it's necessary to have it on there, especially once I can properly overhaul the quest pages. The quest template is just not robust enough without some additional properties PollyEdaline (talk) 20:51, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
        • There are 4333 pages transcluding Template:Quest infobox and we just spent the better part of half a year converting over to it. Freedom4556 (talk) 21:45, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
          • And? It looks great but is missing at least two useful properties. These properties can be easily added without breaking any existing pages. Some pages do not currently use the template (notably DoH quest pages) and those pages either need an additional box for their required items (clunky) or a property on the table. Plus, the table does not presently split optional and guaranteed rewards, which some quests still have. PollyEdaline (talk) 22:13, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
  • Create new template for DoH/L traits to reduce page bloat (duplicate existing trait template) PollyEdaline (talk) 02:41, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
