Restructuring the monsters section

I intend to collate the bits and pieces of information in existing pages, none of which is complete, into a more unified structure in which each page serves a specific purpose, with a greater amount of interlinking amongst the pages, for increased ease of access. These pages should be laid out in such a manner so as to minimise confusion for someone who is contemplating input. This means the removal of repetition of content in several loosely linked pages and in some cases routing links away from certain pages.

If you need to raise your concern with regards to what I have changed, you can either append to this topic, or post a new one on my talk.

Currently, the following pages have been set up:

• Monster Index (Minimalist list of all monsters, their levels, and their HP)
• Monster Locations (List of areas and monsters that are found in them)
• FiestaWiki:Templates (where templates related to monsters can be found)

I am contemplating on getting my hands on these (and what to do with them):

• Mob Drops (to be made into a much simpler table to read, supported by a backbone that makes it easier to add information)

Started on this one.

• Monster XP Rates (to be made to list monster according to level with a complete list of them, with the obvious advantage of only needing cells for character levels at which you would gain more than 1 EXP from a particular monster)

A template is ready on the discussion page.

Changing the structure of this potentially huge section is as much as I can do as an individual. Unless I gain the assistance of a bot, I will not be updating all the individual monster pages.

Restructuring Quest List

Now that we have an new template and a new patch, it would be of great help if everybody could record down any quests they have received and write down all the quest rewards for that quest.

Also, the previous format for the quests needs to be erased and reformatted to match the new blue/pink format which is easier on the eyes. Blargh.

I will add that I am advocating the break up of the list into sections, by level ranges. It is clear that the page is very long indeed, and it is taking a while to load. Everytime I view a diff, some 200 kB caches. Everytime I click on it, some 200 kB caches. Everytime I edit, some 100 kB loads. Everytime I click Preview, some 300 kB loads. Everytime I click Save Page, 200 kB loads. It gets annoying after a while. Not only will fragmenting it make it easier to scroll, it will also reduce bandwith and loading times.
