I've also bumped you to Ninja status. Good job on filling in all those missing or outdated quests. If you can, make sure to add the quest dialogues and objectives later! :) --Tharondir (talk) 05:48, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

Newly created quests

• Thanks for your updates to the Lotro-Wiki.com collection of information!

The Wiki is successful because of dedicated fans like yourself.

• I see that you have created quite a few quests by name only.

I hope that you are planning to come back and fill in all the missing information.

Having the quest pages existent but with no content is not particularly useful for anyone.

And since they are not flagged with an Article Management Tags indicating missing information, they are difficult for other editors to identify.

For example use: {{Stub/Quest}} which generates the tag:

When you do the quests, you have all the information at hand in your quest log to fill in the information on the new quest page.

Please take the time to fill in the basic information when you create the quest.

• Tip: when creating a new page, use the Article Management Tag: {{Stub/Construction|[[User Talk <User-name>]]}}

Tips for New Editors

What is this language we use here? The code we use is called wiki markup. It is not HTML but under the hood the wiki-engine creates HTML from the markup; see Wiki Markup for more information. Lotro-Wiki uses MediaWiki which recognizes wiki-markup, many HTML tags, and CSS. Staying Current In the left-hand column, the link "Recent discussions" will list any recent change to a talk page. Using that link is an easy way to "stay current". An even better way is to chat with other editors and admins. Red links in Preview Mode If a link turns out red it indicates an error, usually a typo or "page not found". Something that should be fixed before saving them page. However, when editing in newly added areas we accept red links for pages expected to new added soon; all red links can be found using a link under "Special Pages" in the left-hand column. Removing "Stub" Tags Some pages have an Article Management Tag, meaning the page needs additional work. When adding the missing information, please remove the tag, which removes the page from e.g. Category:Stubs/Mob or whatever category the page was tagged for. Creature vs. Mob "Mob" is an enemy inside an instance, while "creature" is any other enemy. Kill vs. Defeat At Lotro-Wiki we never say "kill" but always say "defeat". How to Delete a Page? Only Administrators have the ability to delete pages. Instead you can tag a page for deletion by adding {{Delete Page|<reason>}} at the top of the page. However, we prefer to keep old pages around for reference so we use the {{Obsolete}} tag. Similarly, certain information on a page could be useful for future reference. Either hide that info under a collapsed table titled e.g. "obsolete info", or move that info to a section at the bottom of the page, similarly titled, or to a new page with a name indicating the info is old. Chat with other editors for advice. How to Move (Rename) a Page? Only Administrators can move a page, use the {{Move}} tag, and give a reason why.

The Hill-Men of Minas Agor

I note that you just created: Quest:The Hill-Men of Minas Agor -- is that a new quest now or should that page be a Creature page?

The page for Minas Agor does not show any quest or deed for them. I have not run a character through that area for some time now, so it could easily be a new quest.
