If somebody wanted to complete a Conspiracy of Dunces, they'd look for guides on the three achievements that make it up I would think. Not to mention, similar to the Lost Coins, there's quite a decent number of objects per the three achievements, it would be better situated on their own page. - Doodleplex 17:06, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

Well, I've provided redirects on the related achievement names towards Conspiracy of Dunces, so people looking for the wrong articles shouldn't be an issue. As for the size, I agree that Conspriacy of Dunces is pretty big, though I'm comfortable with having it all in one place. I'll be happy to expand the redirects into walkthrough articles if consensus is that they're better off that way, though. --Idris (talk) 17:16, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
Edit: Upon reflection, I've decided that I agree with you. I'm going to go ahead and make the necessary changes. --Idris (talk) 18:03, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
If you want to start, I've created a fairly bare-boned version at User:Doodleplex/Sandbox 7. The only thing I didn't add in yet was a column for a map image. - Doodleplex 18:09, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
Nice, thank you. I'll have a hack at it later, but for now, the basic articles are up. --Idris (talk) 18:18, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
I made this page as a backbone to all the journal entry items required for the collection. While you never hold the journal entries they are in fact items and without this page to act as a "contents" there would be nowhere to link them to. I was going to do the same for the other two journal collections but excavating the journal pages out of the API takes time and I didn't get around to it. We can add a short link onto this page and the journal item pages for the full walkthrough on whichever page it ends up on. J.Tesla (talk) 20:57, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
I agree, my attempts to replace this page with a redirect to Conspiracy of Dunces was a bad call. Adding a link to the walkthrough won't be necessary, though; I think this page is the perfect place to put the walkthrough. --Idris (talk) 21:39, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
