New editor questions!

1. How the heck do you find the coordinates for an NPC or event?

2. Should we list new things like Mounts, Griffon Roosts, and Bounty Boards on the Locations table for an area? (Domain of Vabbi for example has Griffon, Roosts, and Boards.)

3. Should we use an infinite Hero Challenge and infinite Heart map icon on these tables where appropriate? Had a look and couldn't figure out if that was the case, or if these icons exist yet.

I'm rather new myself and definitely no authority here, but I can answer one of these:
1. Take a look at this guide.
2. So far it seems you are the only one who added them (in the Domain of Vabbi - thanks for the awesome work on that page btw). That doesn't necessary mean they shouldn't be there. Mounts might be better off in their own section like ranger pets, but I do like Bounty Boards in the location table. Either way I think something like this should be discussed here or on one of the talk pages of the new maps where more people can see it and give their opinion.
3. Since they're not available in {{map icon}} I'd say currently no. If you want to suggest adding them I'd point you to the same talk pages as for 2.
Edit:
4. Even tough you deleted theat question again: Sorry for not checking for already created pages when changing the links, that was my fault. Now to answer the actual question: Normal users can't delete pages themselves, but you can add {{delete|insert reason here}} at the start - for example:
   {{delete|duplicate of [[High Elder Yitfei the Light]]}}
and an admin will take care of it. In this specific case you could've also just moved the page instead of creating it new by clicking move in the top row (next to edit and history).

1. For event coordinates, take a look at Widget:Event table. Similarly we've got Widget:Map table for heart NPCs/hero challenges.
For other NPC coordinates, either use the the guide given above, or take a look at the alternative i've suggested on the talk page. -Chieftain AlexUser Chieftain Alex sig.png 09:45, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
