	I decided to break up the page into separate entries. We lose the crtl-F function to find quests, but the page was getting too big, and it hardly even listed all the quests we have. --[[User:An Adventurer\|An Adventurer]] 10:27, 24 October 2008 (CDT)		I decided to break up the page into separate entries.

	Now that quests are on pages by letter, I propose we give alias names their own entry and redirect them to the page writeup. I've had a few people mention to me trouble finding quests when they looked under the wrong letter (of an alias).--[[User:Tlosk\|Tlosk]] 18:16, 17 May 2009 (UTC)		{{Post

			\| Text = How useful are the current letter indices? With quests being split up into multiple pages, it is not really useful for locating a quest by its reward. It is not useful for sorting by timer, group/solo, exp reward, title reward.

			I would suggest the following solution for locating quests:

			* When possible, all the various names for a quest should be created as redirect pages for the proper quest. These redirect pages should be tagged as ''Category:Quest'' so they are listed in the category.
			* If looking for a quest for a specific item, locate the quest by finding that item's page.
			* If looking for a quest for a specific title, locate the quest by using a search for the title. All titles, when possible, should redirect to their quest. When not possible, a note should be left. For example, Assassin is a creature and a title. A note should be placed at the top of the Assassin creature page directing someone to the Assassin's Roost quest.
			* If looking for high experience quests, the [[XP Quests]] exists - it could use better maintaining, but it is there.
			* If looking for a quest by its type (solo, fellowship, etc), there should be new category pages to find these. I would suggest a change to the quest guide template. If a quest is listed as Solo in the ''Quest Summary'' for example, code should be added to the template so that ''Category:Solo Quest'' is automatically added to the page.

			When this is complete, we should remove the Quest by letter pages. The main [[Quests]] page should contain links to Quest by Patch, Category:Quest, Category:Killtask, Xp Quests, Category:Title Reward, and possibly the newly created type categories, e.g. Category:Solo Quest.
