We currently use link bars to link related pages such as Weapons, or Consumables. Should we be using a link bar to link together parts of the same set of items? For instance, I uploaded Lei Wan-tzu's Armor and created a linkbar for it to link between the pieces. This could be used for lots of different things, the 3 types of relic armor, ancient armor, mage armor, etc. Also, weapon sets like sing weapons, assault, soulbound etc. Thoughts? Is the placement right? should it be above the intro bar, or should it be removed altogether as a bad idea. haha --Immortalbob 02:10, 1 May 2011 (EST)
IMO it's not needed. The page Lei Wan-tzu's Armor should redirect to the live event it came from, once we have an article created. Same goes for various sets of quest gear. All the items are listed under the Items section, and individual items all link back to the quest guide, so there is already a way to navigate to the other pieces. If we think links directly between the set pieces would be helpful, it could be put in the notes. For example, the Squalid Shield could have a note like:
