The Chocobo Digging page has more info now. I think it would be useful to have the Choc. Digging field in the Userpage header change its link from "Rank-up test" to ":Category:Chocobo_Digging#Rank" so you can reference the dig delay for your rank. --Shynoe (talk) 15:38, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

  • Add to area pages lists/tables of "???" points and other selectable spots, to be associated with links to the respective quests, NMs or relevant systems; may benefit from a specific template, but could also account for recurring spots like Goblin Footprints
  • Add to gear pages links to absolute upgrades to the corresponding item (not just direct ones, like +1 version, or Unity NM coffer versions of regular NM drops, but anything usable by the same jobs or more with superior stats in one or more categories, even if it's for a higher level)
  • Add to quest/mission pages links to any NPCs involved in the respective cutscenes (something of a secondary concern, but there are several orphaned pages with cutscene-only NPCs, and could be handy for the more story-inclined)

  • Not quite sure what you mean by not just including links the NQ or HQ links to a piece of armor, but any usable armor with superior stats. How would you determine each piece in the game that is better, and what if a suggestion is better than another suggestion or what if it is simply situational?
As far as the links between upgraded versions of a piece. We have been implementing this over time. It is noticeable with the Reforged Relic Armor item pages for example, but we have a lot more of that to do in general. As for crafting pieces like the Su3 gear, the set pages have both the NQ and HQ on it. --Spicyryan (talk) 11:05, 23 February 2018 (EST)
  • I mean, for example: say you still have your Ranger's Necklace back from when you unlocked RNG, and kept it because you have no piece for that slot with comparable stats; then you manage to get a Sanctity Necklace, and that not only has superior versions of the same stats, it has additional stats, including an actual Defense stat, and is usable on more (all) jobs, so if you get that, there's no reason to ever use the Ranger's Necklace ever again, and it might even replace a few other neck pieces for other jobs in the process. Maybe it's a bit of an extreme example, but I've gone through that specific experience and several others with lower-level gear, and I figure a nice way to find good replacement pieces in such a manner can be an extra tool to help manage/prioritize inventory when it comes to gear (I think I manage to get rid of at least 3 different neck pieces I was keeping for a "just in case" situation when I got the Sanctity). again, not a major priority, but could be handy to consider as a QoL enhancer for gear pages once a few other major structural issues with the wiki are taken care of.

  • That is a really cut and dry example. Most gear doesn't work that way at all where it is a 1:1. Furthermore, how would you suggest we go about selecting these items and building said progression table? --Spicyryan (talk) 23:13, 26 March 2018 (EDT)

Having issues getting this template to check "Complete" on my user talk page. Everything is set to default/red/incomplete, even with items marked Complete. Xianthe (talk) 00:27, 2 December 2021 (EST)

You copied the entire page. You were only supposed to copy the text in grey. It should be good now. Funkworkz (talk) 12:07, 2 December 2021 (EST)
