Quest page change coming

Raylan13 April 12, 2011

Updated: Finished. Post away!

Today, April 13, changes will be coming to how quest pages are handled. We'd ask that no quest pages be created until the changes have gone through. With luck, it shouldn't take more than a few hours, and certainly should be finished by the end of the day. If quest pages are created during this time, chances are very good they will be subsequently deleted.

Users won't see any change on their end when creating quest articles; the only change is to how searches for quests are handled.

The change made was basically to put pages previously beginning with Quest: to now be in a real namespace. This means you can filter on the Quest or Quest talk namespace. Previously, talk pages for quests would start with Talk:Quest: so they couldn't be filtered really.
Some of the special pages that will benefit from this change:
There are probably others.

Moving is done. Talk pages fixed. Running scripts to correct internal link databases. Special pages (namely WantedPages) may take a day to settle and update correctly. If you have anything that uses those, try not to freak out for a little while.
There were a few that couldnt be moved by the script magiclly due to naming conflicts (pages named "Quest:Foo" and "Quest: Foo" tried to both get moved to "Quest:Foo"), you can find them in the move log, i just added 2/3's to the end of the name. I'll let someone local to this game/wiki figure out which to keep where :)
If there are problems, please let us know. Thanks for flying AirWikia
