Templating Help

If we want to display content in any sort of reader friendly way for ESL, we'll need to use tables. I nicked an existing template and table here, but I'd like to see something a bit more usable and specific to ESL, possibly. That's outside my wheelhouse though. I've seen you do some fantastic things with tables before, and was wondering if you could possibly help (if, at the very least, to point me somewhere else). What we need is for a table with bigger icons, the ability to display a card's magicka cost, attribute, power, health, rarity, and card text, and dialogue. If we had a template/table to do that, we could create articles based on ESL's keywords, and be able to present the namespace in a manner that most users would want. --AKB ^{Talk Cont Mail} 18:51, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

Edit: To be clear, I'm not asking you to make all of these tables, I'm happy doing the data entry, but I would like help with the initial setup of a good looking table to present all of this information in a user friendly way. --AKB ^{Talk Cont Mail} 18:53, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, but I know pretty much nothing about ESL. Most of the template work I did was ripped off from other similar templates anyhow. I'm not sure who would be more knowledgeable on this, but you might try the Community Portal? — TheRealLurlock (talk) 19:35, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

Splitting Online:Quest Items

I like the work you are doing there, but have you considered splitting the article at this point? My browser struggles to load the page, so I can imagine it must be painful for others, as well. I would recommend it being split by either zone or alliance/neutral/DLC, but I would like to hear your input since you've put so much work into it, and would probably have the best course of action in mind. --AKB ^{Talk Cont Mail} 04:41, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, splitting it would probably be a good idea. Then either have links to each zone (or whatever you decide) or if a huge list is preferable, then transclude them all on a separate page so that the landing page is small but people can click through to the larger page. – Robin Hood  ^(talk) 04:46, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

I could see splitting by alliance/neutral/DLC, but going per-zone might be excessive. Either way, though, I think there should be a sinlge page with everything on it - mainly as an easily searchable reference. Many times in-game, I've seen people link a quest item asking what quest it comes from, so it would be very useful to have one page where one could look that up. — TheRealLurlock (talk) 13:38, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

ESO Quest Stages

I noticed you filled in the quest stages for ON:Snow Bear Plunge. Those entries were actually a mix of quest objectives and hints; if you're planning on adding any more quest stages, you might want to look at the templates we have for those. I've recorded the majority of the quest stages already, so I was planning on going through the remaining 8 or so quest pages. I also hid the stages you marked as fail conditions (e.g. "You left Cub's Tumble.") since I'm not actually sure what they are. Do they really fail the entire quest? I'll be able to clarify them tomorrow, but maybe you can figure out where they belong in the updated layout. —Legoless (talk) 19:55, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

They do not fail the entire quest - I tested it today. If you approach the area but don't dive in and then leave, it brings up the fail message, but then you can approach again and it works. It just goes back one stage basically. Not sure how we list things like that, but that's how it works. — TheRealLurlock (talk) 03:44, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
