User:Heillos/Sandbox/Chests
This is a WIP page by User:Heillos to experiment with some possible improvements to the structure of the Chest page and related pages.
Separate chest pages[edit]
A big issue (in my opinion) is that Chest is used for two things at once:
- The object called "Chest"
- An explanation of chests in general, including not only in-game objects but floaty chests in the UI.
This leads to a lot of linking to "so and so location has a chest", when that page doesn't actually tell users anything about the specific object called "Chest".
We have List of basic chests which I'm mostly done reinvigorating, with pretty tables and so on. But that's only for their locations, and it doesn't cover drops (seemingly nowhere does).
I think we should have something like Chest (Core Tyria) in the same way there is Chest (Cantha) and Chest (Domain of Vabbi). The reason for (Core Tyria) is that I suspect we should also have Chest (Auric Basin) and Chest (Tangled Depths) and so on. If not one page per HoT map, then at least one page for all HoT chests, as they have different drops to the ones in Core Tyria (they can drop Black Diamonds for instance, as well as having some guaranteed map currency).
To that end, the pages below are mostly for recording the drops from different chests called "Chest", to decide the scope of the problem.
