Categorization
- I noticed this quest was moved from Category:Vales of Anduin: Wolf-denes Quests to Category:Goblin Problems Quests, as a sub-quest of 'The Mission to Goblin-town'.
- This quest is technically not required as an objective for 'The Mission to Goblin-town', which is why I chose not to categorize it under the 'Goblin Problems' quest chain originally. I'm wondering as to the reasoning behind moving it.
- Also, if it is to stay under 'Goblin Problems', then it should be removed from its place in the quest layout in its original category.

- I did the original change, and I updated the category just prior to reading this post. This is one of those 50/50 calls that could go either way. I tend to group sub-quests under the quest chain, as they are only enabled once you reach a certain place in the chain - you cannot go up to the quest giver and get that quest without doing a lot of stuff in the chain first, so to me they seem to be part of the chain whether or not they are required by an underlying quest in order to progress the chain. In other words they are part of the quest story line. There may be other views, and we can discuss in discord. You are doing great work in the quest stuff, really appreciate your efforts, provides good foundation for me to add the detail links. Noddi (talk) 23:16, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for explaining. Your reasoning does make sense, and in fact I was kind of 50/50 on the categorization myself. I might actually bring it up in Discord, though, as a general discussion, as I think there are some advantages to the structure I eventually went with.
- And thanks for the kind words regarding my efforts!
