Guide talk:Acts quick guide

Quick Guide

Hi, this is my first contribution to this wiki. I hope it is fine. I have added it in the typical format used on the RS Wiki, which is "Acts/Quick Guide". I hope this is fine. I'm a veteran RS Wiki editor and I love POE so I hope I can be of service on this wiki as well. Wonderfl ^(Reply) 05:10, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for the contribution. I have some questions and feedback:

1. Purpose – I can see that the guide tries to define its scope at the very start, but no reason is given for defining it this way. What is the actual purpose of the guide? To me, it looks like a bullet point summary of the high-level actions required to complete Acts 1 through 10. I'm not sure whether that's what you intended or this is just a starting point that you plan on expanding. Either way, I think there needs to be an explanation of the guide's purpose that justifies its inclusion on the wiki as a mainspace article.

2. Title – We rarely, if ever, use subpages for mainspace articles on this wiki, which makes the title "Act/Quick Guide" look very out of place. Can you suggest another title that encompasses the purpose of the guide?

Of course, these guidelines don't apply to your own userspace; you're free to use it any way you see fit. If this guide is meant to be for your personal use only, please move it to your userspace.

Purpose - just to help experienced players. Title, okay got it, how about "Quick Guides for Acts" or "Acts Quick Guide" ? Wonderfl ^(Reply) 09:05, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Checklist

Do we have a checklist component? it would be great to allow players to tick their progress thereby making it easier to resume where they left off. It is commonplace on the RS Wiki and it would be nice if we could incorporate this component too. Wonderfl ^(Reply) 05:12, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
