Point of Interests[edit]

The correct plural is "points of interest" and you should not capitalize it in page/category names. Thanks for helping out, though! —Dr Ishmael User Dr ishmael Diablo the chicken.png 19:27, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Oh okay, will adjust the pages I created, funny though before I created it I looked at Point of Interest which is capitalized >.< Trolloli 19:32, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
Wow, ugh. That article needs a rewrite and a move, I think. Skill challenge is done right. —Dr Ishmael User Dr ishmael Diablo the chicken.png 19:39, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
You still seem to be doing 'point of interests' instead of the grammatically correct 'points of interest' --Sepp 19:46, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
Another thing I just noticed - using renown hearts as a model, we are apparently not going to do categories of "X in Y", e.g. "Points of interest in Metric Province." All hearts simply have the categories "Renown Hearts" (which I think also needs to be changed to lowercase) and "<zone name>". PoIs thus should only have "Points of interest" and "<zone name>" categories. —Dr Ishmael User Dr ishmael Diablo the chicken.png 19:47, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
Yea I noticed, sorry for the trouble with my spelling and I thought sub-categories would be better. Anyway I will continue placing pois into the category you created in combination with the location category. On a side note now all NPCs with the service 'Renown Heart' in the info box need to be changed to 'Renown heart' for consistency x) Trolloli 19:58, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Karma Merchant[edit]

I hope Karma Merchant won't be a problem with spelling, as it appears in game while hovering over the icon. Still allot of NPC pages use only karma or Karma vendor Trolloli 19:58, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Karma Merchant appears in-game? Oh darn it. I've been changing them to "karma vendor"... oops.
But could you not use "service2"? A Renown heart NPC is an NPC service just like any other service. Just because it sells things for karma doesn't make it a Karma Merchant. Several other services sells things for karma, such as the master craftsmen. -- ab.er.rant User Ab.er.rant Sig.png 11:34, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
Ah ok, will revert things there, was just continuing where I left off. Just noticed that you made a change, still mention it will act like a karma merchant or just point out it will sell some items in exchange for goods? Trolloli 11:40, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
I just added a line that says "After helping with <goal>, so-and-so NPC will offer items". Example: Matlal. I think I was just rewriting your original sentence that said the NPC turns into a karma merchant. -- ab.er.rant User Ab.er.rant Sig.png 11:56, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
Yes I saw it, I am continuing like that now, that change of quest name to past, instead of just 'task' looks better aswell. And I just noticed you created a page Renown heart NPC I was still placing separately, more edits inc >.<
It's ok. I play on changing the infobox so that any "Renown Heart" will automatically link to that new page. -- ab.er.rant User Ab.er.rant Sig.png 13:53, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
Aww man.... I made a mess of it. I just confirmed that you were right all along. Renown heart NPCs are Karma Merchants... says so right on the merchant pane. :( Sorry for the trouble. -- ab.er.rant User Ab.er.rant Sig.png 18:26, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
I don't think you really made as big a mess as you think. Yes, they are karma merchants, but since this is true for all heart NPCs, there's no need to identify it in the infobox. They only need to be identified as a heart NPC. —Dr Ishmael User Dr ishmael Diablo the chicken.png 18:30, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
It's fine, think it will be better to let service2 die out anyway, but on pages we should stick to 'karma merchant' rather than 'karma vendor' as it says so in game (so i changed quite some things on this wiki for this) Trolloli 21:12, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
So are we going to use karma merchant which redirects to Karma Merchant (for inline text purposes) now then instead of the "karma vendor" variations?? – Trolloli "I wasn't born, I spawned" 23:35, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
Yea, I'll fix it up back to your approach. -- ab.er.rant User Ab.er.rant Sig.png 02:09, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
