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  • Stat Squish - As of Patch 6.0 all sources of Experience EXP are now out of date.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.
  • 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  • PvP-related pages are outdated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

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.

  • I have removed them all for now, and I agree, it's also been highlighted that its self promoting their own videos.

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.

Quest Lists

Template:Quest list result format needs someone with programmer skills to check why it is doing errors with 4-digit rewards. Try enabling item rewards for the optional quests on the Primal Quests page to see what I mean. Freedom4556 (talk) 17:33, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

  • Fixed. #explode was matching ',' instead of ', '. I didn't manage to get it to not strip the whitespace, but there's now a workaround for 4-digit rewards. Needs some more code if there's a quest that has >999,999 item reward. Lvdr (talk) 11:08, 11 January 2022 (UTC)

Guides

Crafting and Gathering

  • 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)

Side Quests

Locations

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

Items

  • Seafood
  • 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

Lore

Lore pages - feel free to create any Lore pages and add lore information to any existing pages.

Other

  • Subaquatic Voyages - Added sectors for exploration, still requires component performance information and links towards components
  • Retainers
  • Desynthesis Rewards
  • Elite Marks - needs images, times and other descriptions.
  • Description for each Minion and Mount - since minion and mount menus were updated, SE added a bunch of new description to each minion and mount.
  • Fish pages need crafting recipes they're involved in, desynthesis results, fishing holes they're found in and bait that will catch them.
  • Estate Sharing
  • Gear Pictures ~ Been working on this, Freedom4556

Lockboxes/Coffers

  • Small side project after vendors are finished
  • As part of the item page revamp I've started using the {{contains|item}} template and the {{contained in}} template. Both link together.
  • Example: Red Attire Coffer - as you can see the items are shown contained inside the coffer with the {{contains|item}} template.
  • Example: Red Hat - on the separate item pages - you can see {{contained in}} has been used and shows any container the item is included in.
  • This will mostly be used for coffers and possibly lockboxes, maybe other things I've not thought of just yet.
  • These two templates work alot better than the loot table and dropped by as it wants you to specify the monster/boss it drops from when it isn't always the case.

Notes

I know there are many many more things that need done, like updating pictures and fleshing out descriptions, so post everything you see here so that we all know what needs done!
