Was wondering if there was simply some script you could run on all the vendors which then updates all its sold items pages?  The items would then append to their "Purchased From" section to link to that vendor along with coordinates.  A reader would then not have to click away from the item page to be able to find it.

Let me explain why the current (low-level items, etc) have some problems.  These items' pages tend to link to a list of all similarly named vendors like Merchant & Mendor, Junkmonger, etc., and often there could be identically named in the same zone!  It takes a while to figure out which vendor to go to, after trial+error clicking on the various ones in the list.

Would it be possible to add a forum to the Wiki? It would be nice to have a place to chat with other editors, discuss ideas for layout changes, and even help new editors who may have questions.

Dead links

Lots of dead links to creature pages and some low-level dungeon bosses. Looks like a lot of these boss pages are stubs as well. Should we link the boss pages to the dungeons or include strategies on the boss pages themselves? Digital Squid (talk) 19:45, 19 March 2015 (PDT)

I'm going to link the boss pages to the dungeons. -Moogle (talk) 16:44, 20 March 2015 (PDT)


Monk Guide

Just added a basic Monk rotation guide, looking for feedback. Cheers! --Skald359 (talk) 10:24, 5 October 2015 (PDT)

Sources

I'm relatively new to wiki work, and I wanted to check - what are our guidelines regarding sources? For example, Garland Tools has some great information (GC quartermaster inventory, airship expedition rewards, etc) that are all datamined, and aren't in Libra Eorzea or other SE products. Are those useable as sources? With attribution, perhaps? What sources are openly permissible? Skald359 (talk) 13:29, 1 December 2015 (PST)

Well, I don't know how to edit things, but I have some pictures for Squadrons

Ceilia, Female Hyur Unique Clothed

Raiden, Male Au Unique Clothed

Patch Notes

Are there any plans to add patch notes to the site / updates when things change. Like what they do on the POE wiki? For example http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Fireball#Version_history

Forum or Discord?

I see that last topic, posted in 2014. Does this wiki have a forum or Discord that I'm just not seeing? It would be nice to have a place to talk to other editors, share ideas, and collaborate on bigger projects for the wiki. Otherwise I'll just contribute as much as I can and hope I don't muddle someone else's research.

Role Actions

A huge change in 4.0 is the move from Cross-Class Actions to Role Actions. While the main Class pages have the new Role Actions, each Action's page has old info especially the footer which should get a Role Action section if it's in one. E.g., Apocatastasis & Manawall: the former is now a DPS Roll Action and has little to do with THM & BLM. With the latter, does Manawall even exist now?

Lastly, some Class/Job Actions have been moved to Role Actions and the old sections should be updated, e.g., Black Mage's Apocatastasis was listed in both Actions and Role Actions. Same with Conjurer's Protect which even has an increase in level requirement (as my wife noticed when she could no longer cast it after 4.0).

Anyway, I'll do my best to help but wanted to let someone know what I've been thinking.

A Way to Reverse-Link Which Vendors Sell Item X?

Was wondering if there was simply some script you could run on all the vendors which then updates all its sold items pages? The items would then append to their "Purchased From" section to link to that vendor along with coordinates. A reader would then not have to click away from the item page to be able to find it.

Let me explain why the current (low-level items, etc) have some problems. These items' pages tend to link to a list of all similarly named vendors like Merchant & Mender, Junkmonger, etc., and often there could be identically named in the same zone! It takes a while to figure out which vendor to go to, after trial+error clicking on the various ones in the list.

Problematic example from the Siltstone Grinding Wheel page:

===Purchased From===

You click on Eastern La Noscea one, and to your horror there are about four Merchant & Menders, so you click through each one... --Icy` (talk) 15:34, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
