It might be a little late to suggest this, but I think it might look better if the "Notes" part wasn't in the table but were in body text below the table, so the infobox didn't need fixed widths since all its entries would be smaller. - Lendren
What about quests which don't have honors associated with them, but are still interesting?  For instance, the Oleanvir adders, the lion furs one, or the Oleanvir kephera princess? --[[User:Lendren|Lendren]] 12:32, 7 October 2009 (UTC)


Ya'll might find it easier to file quests the same way we have on "help 14.1.2" - breaking them up into various 'types'. Would probably make arranging (if you guys wanted to) epic quests and such a lot easier. - Eventru
Oi. There's just so many, though. I think the lesser quests would probably be better included in the area pages... example: when Grey Moors gets done, we can make brief mention of pyrotoxin, selling krokani/aslaran, and link to castle djarrathingie... what do you think?--[[User:Talan|Talan]] 21:06, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Lendren, I'm not really sure what you mean, the tables aren't fixed width, they're variable % of screen width...
 
Eventru, I'll probably be re-organizing the page, and adding sub-pages at some point, only because there's a lot of information I want to include yet (commodities quests, conflict quests, org quests).. but I'm not entirely sure I like the idea of splitting up the bulk of the honors quests into the various divisions. I think it's kind of helpful to have them all in one spot.
 
Also, when editing, please edit from the Honours Quests subheading, otherwise it shifts the spacing, inciting my ocd. - Talan

''Fixing the widths to 15% and 85% is no longer necessary (and the valigns similarly) since on most screens the wordwrapping won't happen much (and when it does the native wordwrapping in the browser should be just fine).  It's also more consistent with the kinds of info-boxes used on most of the other pages that have them.  The box has only the 'structured' information, the body text has the unstructured free-form text that's currently in the "Notes" line.''

I deliberately chose to use the table to format the whole contents of each quest, as in the longer list I think it helps visually in breaking up/preventing a wall of text. It's also at this point written with the idea in mind that the contents in 'rewards' will follow any text in 'notes'... - Talan

You may want to also categorize the honour quests as we've done in the help files. Also, you guys should use the signature icon when signing lines (the little squiggly button the second from the right in the menu). --[[User:Estarra|Estarra]] 15:57, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

What about quests which don't have honors associated with them, but are still interesting? For instance, the Oleanvir adders, the lion furs one, or the Oleanvir kephera princess? --Lendren 12:32, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
