Gondor Deeds Not On Virtue Pages

All of the Gondor deeds do not appear on the individual virtue pages, such as Fidelity Quests of Tarlang's Crown should be there and it is not. I do not know how to fix it.

1. don't forget to sign your entries (even on your talk page).
2. Rather than including the complete URL as you did in your question -- simply enclose the pagename in braces [[ ]] i.e. [[Fidelity]] -- Fidelity
3. I've created a new parameter {{Virtue Cap}} parameter (template) created to ease future updating : see: Talk:Virtues#.7B.7BVirtue_Cap.7D.7D_parameter_.28template.29_created_to_ease_future_updating
4. Fixing the Virtue pages will be a tedious process. Each virtue is "hard coded" with a list of deeds.
   1. visit the particular virtue and "edit" the section

      you will see an entry like: {{:Fidelity Deeds}} -- This is a "Transclusion" of another page, in this case: Fidelity Deeds

   2. The easiest way to reach that page for editing is -- at the very bottom of a page OPEN FOR EDITING, you will see an entry: Templates used in this section: with an accompanying "down arrow."

      Click on that arrow to expand it and note that you will see an entry like: Fidelity Deeds (edit).

      If you click on the "name" portion of that entry, you will go to the page and then you can select edit -- OR --

      If you click the "(edit)" portion of that entry, you will open the page directly in editing mode.

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.
