Many kind souls have saved abandoned eggs from ravaged Murloc settlements, and you can help us hatch these eggs and care for your very own baby Murloc.

Revision as of 22:04, 16 April 2011
Forums: Village pump → Remove quest prefix from quest pages
 |
This is a proposal and requires a vote to be accepted or declined.
|
I propose we remove the "Quest:" prefix from quest pages for consistency with every other type of content page. Standard disambiguation naming can apply for any collisions. I raised the point in IRC but found no good reason why we keep it this way. So I want to get others' opinions on this. --Pcj (T•C) 16:30, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

For collisions, we have something of a hierarchy between similar names. I presume quests would be at the bottom of the hierarchy, which is essentially where they are now with the pseudo-namespace. --Sky (talk) 17:58, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
