Quest Updates

Since Nephele, Rpeh, and myself (I contributed to a small extent) have finished the Journal Entries template, I want to know how the implementation of this should be executed. Should it be its very own project, such as the OBNPCRP (with tags and everything)? I am assuming so; however, I want input from other members. Thanks you! --Mr. Oblivion(T-C) 01:29, 12 June 2009 (EDT)

Here is something I whipped up that could be used on the pages if we do decide to make it an actual project:

Ficheiro:Check.png The Journal Entries section of this article is currently being rewritten as part of the [[UESPWiki:Oblivion/Morrowind Journal Entries Update|Oblivion/Morrowind Journal Entries Update Project]].

It would need some more info, but it's a start. --Mr. Oblivion(T-C) 02:24, 12 June 2009 (EDT)
I don't see any reason why this needs to be a project, or why the number of edits needs to be tripled by adding (then deleting) a tag on every quest page. All of the existing journal entries were added to the quests without creating a project, and this basically just amounts to a minor formatting change for that content. It's nearly invisible to readers. It's pretty easy for editors to tell whether or not the change has been done to any given quest page. What would be added by creating a project? --NepheleTalk 02:51, 12 June 2009 (EDT)
I figured a bot could somehow throw the tags up; if not, then I don't want it as a project. As you mentioned, tripling the edits would be a waste. Thanks for the response! I'll start on it soon. --Mr. Oblivion(T-C) 02:59, 12 June 2009 (EDT)
The bots could add the template, but it's unnecessary. It's only necessary to create a full project when there are going to be debates about content, with guidelines, specific styles and so on. As Nephele points out, this change will be largely invisible to most people so there's no point in advertising it.
In any case, please can you hold off for now? As I mentioned before, the template needs to cater for other options besides the tick in the Finishes column. Take a look at this and this, for instance - they use the Restart icon. At the moment that options is only used on four mod quests but I'm sure some base game quests also use it if we check. The template needs to support that flag before it can be used. –RpehTCE 03:45, 12 June 2009 (EDT)
Ahh, I forgot about that. I went ahead and added it to the the template in a {{#switch parameter. Is it okay if I begin now? Thanks. --Mr. Oblivion(T-C) 03:54, 12 June 2009 (EDT)
