TibiaWiki:Standards/Quest

Unofficial. Do not change anything in accordance with this until it is on the main TibiaWiki:Standards page. This is a work in progress.

Introduction
Quest spoiling is a hot topic on any fansite. CipSoft do not advocate spoiling but do not forbid it either. The fansite agreement that TibiaWiki has agreed to abide by includes the following terms regarding quest spoilers,
 * Giving general information about quests is fine. Complete quest solutions need to be marked with a disclaimer that warns players that quests are spoiled in the following sections. Fansites can post detailed information on all monsters and items that exist in the game. However, we will not support you in finding any information on monsters or items since those are things the community should find out themselves.
 * &mdash;Tibia Fansite Agreement

This article documents what constitutes a quest spoiler, what it should aim to achieve and how they should be presented. The article will have two main sections: full spoilers (complete quest pages) and partial spoilers (anything else, for example spoiling on items obtained from quests).

Criteria
Quest articles are pages devoted to the explanation of a quest.

Full quest spoilers do... Full quest spoilers do not...
 * 1) ...contain a walkthrough for exactly one quest.
 * 2) ...contain other in-depth information regarding exactly one quest. This may include for example: exact locations of where to go, recommended actions to perform, and which keywords to use.
 * 1) ...describe multiple quests.

Examples

 * The Pits of Inferno Quest (test page)
 * This is a full quest spoiler because it details exactly one quest (the Pits of Inferno Quest) and does not describe anything else (such as items, NPCs or objects) in great detail.

Presentation
Full quest pages require a disclaimer. Template:Infobox Quest/May Draft should be used on the top of full quest spoilers to warn viewers that the page contains a walkthrough.

If images (maps or screenshots) are used on full spoiler pages, the following configurations are generally preferable:
 * Center alignment, particularly if multiple images are being used in succession,
 * A short description below,
 * Appropriate dimensions; not unnecessarily large and not impairingly small.

Criteria
Partial quest spoilers do... Partial quest spoilers do not...
 * 1) ...list quests the subject (an NPC, item, creature or object) is involved with,
 * 1) ...contain in-depth information to quests, such as their solutions.

Examples

 * Rashid (test page)
 * The NPC is part of The Travelling Trader Quest, this is quest spoiling information and is placed inside a warning box.
 * The location is NOT a spoiler, because the location is not dependent on the quest - he will travel even if nobody is doing the quest.

Presentation
Partial quest spoilers should be encapsulated in an unobscured box (HTML element). A template has been created to cater for most needs: Template:Spoiler Box, however this template is not required; any box that sufficiently warns and does not affect the visibility of the spoiler can be used.
