Online talk:Antiquity Furnishings

Linking

Is there a good way to link this page to the other antiquity furnishings (or vice versa?) This page implies these are all the Antiquity Furnishings but it's missing the Blackwood Chapter ones for example (already documented elsewhere). Thanks! eslofe (talk) 23:35, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

Revert to previous format?

Whoever has changed the format of this page has done a great disservice to anyone looking to find specific antiquity furniture. The old format had each furnishing in own section which you could close, it included item descriptions, a reasonably sized image of the furnishing, complete notes from the Antiquarian Circle, and would fit nicely on a phone screen. The new format is too large for a phone screen and leads to lots of scrolling in multiple directions, has incomplete and even incorrect information, the images provided are much too small to look at without zooming in, a large portion of the grid is empty, and no information as to how to get leads is provided.

tldr; the old format was more compact and informative than the new one Kumenit (talk) 08:10, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

I restored it, the previous method seems to be have been clearly superior for this page compared to what it was turned into. --AKB ^{Talk Cont Mail} 08:31, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

I agree with this revert. If we want to use the list functionality, it could be used on a separate page like ON:Furnishings/Antiquities. —⁠Legoless (talk) 09:02, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

I support the revert. I wanted to bring this up previously, but I didn't have the time to post. OP summed it up really well. --Jimeee (talk) 14:32, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

Oops! I have condensed the page's Template to reduce the side of the information on each Antiquity.

I am creating a template for a General Antiquity Entry [like Furnishing General Entry] so that we can use #ListSaved with these. It is a lot of information to be added at least twice and the page is getting very long. I would like to have the most important info show and encourage people to click the page link to view the Antiquity and its Codex Entries in full. We have created a wonderful Antiquity Table on the Furnishing's page.
I think doing this is also going to be more helpful as many leads are coming out with several Codex entries on their own, such as the new furnishing leads for Firesong. A Furnishing with 3 leads now has 9 codex entries.
Also with #ListSaved, the page would start to maintain itself.. we are already behind with High Isle.
Through all this, I still wanted to keep the beauty of this page. It is unique and I like it a lot!! So please, tell me what you think. Erorah (talk) 17:39, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

(←) A way of automatically updating this page could be very good in theory! I definitely support exploring it as an option. --AKB ^{Talk Cont Mail} 16:15, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Antiquity Lead found in Arkthzand Cavern

I had picked up a lead for the Dwemer scarab pet in the courtyard of the Library of Arkthzand. I believe I looted a dwemer automaton. What do you guys think the course of action should be, in terms of updating the page with this information? I have no confirmation it drops from all mobs in that area, for example, so I hesitate to update the page as such. - - -WeatherDragon

I added a Note beneath the table for that Antiquity, however I was unable to note which lead was found.

Antiquity Page Setup

A discussion regarding the setup of the ESO Antiquity Furnishings.
As it was, these furnishings were formatted in a list page that had to be MANUALLY kept, adding each antiquity individually, to maintain the format.
It was always considered a very nice looking page.
However, Not many people maintain these pages, save myself and a scant few others.
I am proposing to have the list page work as all other furnishing category list pages with #listsaved using " `isantiquity=1` ".
This allows the page to auto-generated as new antiquity furnishings are added to the game.
I am proposing this for a few reasons:

- Saves time in upkeep
- New antiquity furnishings do not get missed and are forgotten
- keep the standardized list page for search function
- does not require a new template to be created
