This could use some additional sections for the new MoM areas, Hobby deeds, etc. MysterX 00:15, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Done. The question now is whether the links in the infobox should link to the categories or the "guide" articles. As we are have recently created the deed categories and are populating them with deed pages, I would suggest linking to categories. Orions 11:57, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Oh, I even didn't know this infobox existed! Sounds like a sane idea to add it to each deed page. It looks a bit chaotic now though, I think that is because all those categories have different lengths. Perhaps it would look better if we put the short ones (Hobby, skirmishes, epic?) at one line. I know its not logic but it might make it look less messy.
Another thing, the infobox enthusiastically writes about Instances Deeds as a category (as being in Category:Deeds), but at the moment this category doesn't exist yet. I've been adding loads of deeds lately, and many of them of instances as well. For Moria I put them for the time being in :Category:Moria Instances Deeds and we could change this to "Mines of Moria" and put it in a Instances deeds category. Do we want this? Obviously we want the category tree and the deeds infobox to agree on each other. --Ravanel 08:48, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

I've still not played enough in Moria and forward, are they all listed together in the same tab? I've created the links according to the tabs I see so far, I just guess they should all be listed on the same page, in addition of being categorized and have that category link at the bottom, like previous deed pages. Ex.: The Bree-land Deeds page referred by the Deeds-infobox has the infobox, in addition of <noinclude>[[Category: Bree-land Deeds]]</noinclude> making the link appear at the bottom. Let me know if you need some pages renamed (moved). -- Goingbald 02:23, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
In-game under Deeds there is this tab "Instances". If you click it you get the four tabs that you listed in the Deeds-infobox. For instance, the Mines of Moria tab contains all deeds of Moria instances (Grand Stair, Forges of Khazad-dum, 16th hall, etc etc), and the Scourge of Khazad-dum all the Lothlórien ones. I was really talking about the categories with the individual deed pages that already exist and wondering if you wanted them categorized the same as is done in-game. I think your answer to that was yes? I'll change it and await your reaction.
About the deed pages with numerous deeds, I saw that people added the Moria instances deeds to the regional Moria deed pages (e.g. Moria Lower Deeps Deeds). I agree it would be nice to have a page with all "Mines of Moria" deeds listed, especially with the new Meta-deeds in mind. I'm not promising that I'll make these soon, though. If you feel an urge, please follow it.
For Bree-land Deeds, I love the fact that the infobox is at the bottom of the page: makes it look like a neat page. I'm thinking about moving those of other pages to the bottom as well.
Are you aware that in-game there is a tab called Category:Skirmish Deeds under Deeds, and that this category already exist in the wiki? Perhaps we can additionally put Skirmish Instances and Skirmish Lieutenants in there as well, so they are not only found under the Skirmish System, but under Deeds as well.
Last but not least: thanks for putting the small categories in the infobox at one line, really makes me happy. --Ravanel 09:55, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Matching Deeds-infobox to in-game structure

There is at least one "oddball" Deed category. ... "event," and another one "confused" -- Social.

At least for me, the "Event" deeds wind up under the heading "Class/Race/Epic" and the tab "Race & Social". ... and when I go to the "Social page, I find no "deeds" there, just emotes and one slayer deed.

For my Dwarf Hunter under the "Race & Social" tab, I have things like

  • A Day of Pranks
  • Student of the Past
  • Several emotes
  • assorted "enmity" deeds
  • Honored Yule-friend
  • The mightiest Arm
  • The Adventures of Floid and Dewitt
  • Celebration of Sunshine

And missing completely is "Reputation" -- There are a whole bunch of "mis-categorizations" in the Deeds section.

Region deeds

Most of the Region Deeds pages are copy/pasted static indexed duplicates of the individual category deeds themselves. These require maintenance over and above the adjustment of the real individual deed pages. I suggest these Deed pages be removed and instead put a redirect to the "active" and updated categories deed page instead. I can adjust this template to goto the category pages instead of the duplicate static index pages. Open for discussion. Matthew.zellmer (talk) 18:27, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

No comments for the past month here. There is another conversation at User_talk:Lifthil#Static_Index_Deed_pages if this link stops working check Lifthils archives. After some conversation the Regional deed static index pages will remain. As of right now they will be summary pages but MUST be transduced (inserted and viewable on the) region pages themselves. This way they will be updated by users and not negated. Matthew.zellmer (talk) 18:49, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
Update complete now all of the static deed pages are summarized with tables (thanks User:Savitara) and are located in the Category pages themselves. Matthew.zellmer (talk) 13:49, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

infobox size

I am going to reduce the size of the infobox by condensing several lines into a single. If you have concerns or questions please comment here Matthew.zellmer (talk) 19:29, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

Can you elaborate on this? I don't see how lines can be condensed if you look at the example, that is pretty similar to these boxes found wiki-wide. About the only "compression" I could see would be accomplished by reducing the spacing between lines and/or reducing the font size.

Sure thing. I just put more links on each line that's all. There were a couple of rows that had only one or two links on them. I like the box shape, size, format and whatnot. Matthew.zellmer (talk) 20:34, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
