The "New Contact" templates are recent additions to articles.  Since the introduction text for a new contact is the same regardless of who is introducing the contact, use of a template for each contact's introduction allows us to only have to enter the text once and makes it easier to maintain the text.

Many people died over the contents of this book.  The well-written volume lays out in comprehensive detail the terrible truth of the Rikti War and its origins as the merciless machinations of none other than Nemesis, the so-called 'Prussian Prince of Automatons'.  The author chose not to use her name with good reason.  Of the many people named in the book who were instrumental in uncovering the truth, you're one of the few who are still alive.  Whenever you hold it, you recall the adventure you remember as:

'''The Horror of War'''
+
== Badge Mission ==
 +
Currently:  Used only if the contact offers a mission that rewards a badge and that mission is ''not'' part of a story arc?
  
−
It all began with an important mission from The Dark Watcher. A general of the Nemesis Army wished to defect and claimed to have important information.  You went to the agreed meeting spot to find General Sherman of the Nemesis Army about to be executed for treason by his former comrades.  The allegations General Sherman shared with you were more explosive than you could have imagined:  he claimed that the Rikti War had been started on purpose by Nemesis!  And what's more, he knew where you could find the proof:  the Nemesis Army's Shadow Shard base!
+
Proposed: Remove section.  Rather than spelling out the entire mission here or listing the badges and linking to the articles, include the badges offered in the overview section and link to specific missions from there.
  
−
The portals at Vanguard's disposal aren't powerful enough to reach the Shadow Shard, and even if they were modified, Longbow could block the transmission using Portal Corp's more powerful equipment. So instead of fighting against Longbow, the Dark Watcher suggested you try to talk them into helping.  But when you arrived at their hidden base in the War Zone, they were being over-run by the Nemesis Army!  You joined up with Captian W.M Dietrich to link up with Lt. Sefu Tendaji and clear out the attackers.  But triumph turned to tragedy when you found Lt. Tendaji's body, slain by the Nemesis Army.  Captain Dietrich's mask of icy cool shattered when she saw the body of her friend, then reformed into a righteous anger.  She promised all the support you needed to get to the Shadow Shard, as long as you brought retribution down on Nemesis and the Nemesis Army.
+
Why? Because sometimes, the badge mission might be part of an arc.
  
−
The portal in the Vanguard base was ready in record time, and you found yourself hurled into the strange reality known as the Shadow Shard.  While there, you did more than just get the proof you were looking for, you found working Imposter Automatons of the Freedom Phalanx that had been used in the attacks on the Rikti!  With all the evidence you needed now in your possession, it was time to get the truth out about the real origin of the Rikti War.
+
== Story Arcs ==
  
−
The truth spread quickly.  Vanguard and Freedom Corps both used all of their power and media savvy to tell the truth to every corner of the globe.  The Nemesis Army began to strike back, desperate to keep the truth hidden.  One of the most hotly contested battlegrounds was the Rogue Isles, where the brave reporters of WSPDR were under attack by Nemesis forces trying to shut them down.  You went in to help them so that even the people of the Rogue Isles could know the truth.
+
Current:
  
−
The truth had powerful effects. There were reports of massive in-fighting and purges among the Rikti Restructuralists, and the group-mind near-suicidal depression among Vanguard's Traditionalist allies was only fought back with help from Earth's psychics.  One of the most important effects was the desertion of General Bu'Dekka, a high-ranking war leader fresh from the Rikti Homeworld. With support from Captain W.M. Dietrich and Longbow, you helped Bu'Dekka and her troops escape the wrath of Hro'Dtohz.  During the battle, General Bu'Dekka revealed a terrible threat: Hro'Dtohz was determined to keep the truth from reaching the Rikti Homeworld, and was planning to destroy the Earth in order to keep the truth buried!

−
In order to get the troops he would need, Hro'Dtohz would have to radically widen the conduit between Earth and the Rikti Homeworld, endangering both planets to keep the truth of the war hidden.  There was only one place he could do that: the Portal Cavern beneath the Rikti Saucer.  Joined by some old friends along the way, you descended into the depths once more to confront Hro'Dtohz, destroy the portal stabilizers, or both.  Yet there was another twist to play out, as Nemesis attacked during the battle!  His plans in ruins, Nemesis had a terrifying back-up strategy:  to implant a copy of his consciousness into the Rikti mental network, taking them over entirely!  As the Nemesis Army and the Rikti Military fought, you battled to complete one of your objectives to deny victory to all of your foes!
+
Proposed:
  
−
In the end, you carried the day. Hro'Dtohz is still out there, as is Nemesis, but neither of them accomplished their goals.  At least one world now knows the true role of Nemesis in instigating the Rikti War, and maybe one day both will know the truth.  For now, it is enough that, though the battles will continue, Earth will survive.  And this day, it owes that survival to you.

+
== Souvenirs ==
  
−
The defector's name is Captain Sherman.  He wants out, and that's very interesting.  The Nemesis Army rarely has any defectors, so it's almost too unlikely to be a trap.  In either case, I doubt they'll be willing to let him go easily.  Get Sherman to safety, then we may be able to find out more.}}

'''The Dark Watcher''' was a famous hero from the Golden age.  He was one of the co-founders of The [[Freedom Phalanx]] which was founded on July 4, 1932. He has an awesome control of teleportation and even a limited ability to project force fields. He is frequently regarded as costumed in dark clothing.

Latest revision as of 00:02, 14 December 2007

Note: This is only a proposal at this time, and is subject to change. As such, this is not necessarily the template you should follow if you're working on a contact page at this moment, but it might be helpful in offering ideas.

Relates to this forum topic:

Contact Article standardization

Working copy of an example located here.

Contact Overviews

First section in any contact article. Provides at-a-glance information about the contact. 

 == Overview ==
 {{Infobox Contact
 |name= <name of contact>
 |image= <contact image>
 |img_capt= <caption under image, usually the contact's name>
 |zone= <link to zone the contact is located in>
 |x= <x-coord>
 |y= <y-coord>
 |z= <z-coord>
 |levels= <minimum level> - <maximum level>
 |introed= <link(s) to article(s) of contact(s) that introduce this contact>
 |intros= <link(s) to article(s) of contact(s) that this contact introduces>
 |enemies= <enemies; use {{Enemy <enemy name>}} for each enemy group>
 }}
 

 {{Contact Overview
 |Name=<name of contact>
 |City=<H, V, or HV>
 |Zone=<zone the contact is located in>
 |x= <x-coord>
 |y= <y-coord>
 |z= <z-coord>
 |Pronoun=<his, her, its, etc.>
 |HoodYN=<Y, N; indicates whether the contact is located in a particular neighborhood>
 |Hood=<neighborhood the contact is located in, if any>
 |OriginYN=<Y, N; indicates whether or not the contact has an Origin>
 |Origin=<origin of the contact, if any>
 |LevelYN=<Y, N; indicates whether the contact has a valid level range>
 |Level=<minimum level>-<maximum level>
 }}
 

 __TOC__

Could we possibly combine the Infobox Contact template with the Contact Overview template? I see a few common fields that would lend themselves to this. Perhaps, if we change the Contact Overview template to include the Infobox Contact template and feed in the following: 

|name= <name of contact>
|image= <contact image>
|img_capt= 
|zone= <name of the zone the contact is located in>
|x= <x-coord>
|y= <y-coord>
|z= <z-coord>
|levelmin= <minimum level>
|levelmax= <maximum level>
|introed= <link(s) to article(s) of contact(s) that introduce this contact>
|intros= <link(s) to article(s) of contact(s) that this contact introduces>
|enemies= <enemies; use {{Enemy <enemy name>}} for each enemy group>
|badges=<any badges that are rewarded by this contact's missions, either linked to the mission that offers the badge 
(i.e. [[#Badge Mission Name|Badge Name]], or linked to badge using 
 template>
|city=<h, H, v, V, hv, or HV>
|pronoun=<his, her, its, etc.>
|hood=<neighborhood the contact is located in, if any>
|origin=<origin of the contact, if any>

Introductions

== Introductions ==
=== Contact Introduced By===
*<link to contact that introduces this contact>
*<link to contact that introduces this contact>


=== New Contacts ===
*{{New Contact <NewContactName>}}
*{{New Contact <NewContactName>}}
*{{New Contact <NewContactName>}}


=== Information ===
'''<contact's Title shown in the "ask about this contact" information>'''


<text description from the "ask about this contact" information>


=== Initial Contact ===
<briefing text shown the first time you speak to this contact>


=== Below Level Requirement ===
<briefing text shown if you speak to this contact before reaching the contact's minimum required level>


=== Unfamiliar Contact ===
<briefing text shown if you speak to this contact before being introduced>


=== Too Busy ===
<briefing text shown if you speak to this contact with three task already in assigned missions>

Although the "Too Busy" and "Unfamiliar Contact" briefing text are not usually recorded, if someone wanted to put them in, this would give them a place to do it.

The "New Contact" templates are recent additions to articles. Since the introduction text for a new contact is the same regardless of who is introducing the contact, use of a template for each contact's introduction allows us to only have to enter the text once and makes it easier to maintain the text.

Store

== Store ==
* [[Inspirations]]
* {{Store <origin>|Level=<enhancement level>|Price=<price of enhancements as % of base price>}} {{P10Only}} <-if they only sell power 10s
* {{Store Nat Mag|Level=15|Price=150}}

The "Store" template will display information about the origin, level, and cost of the enhancements that a contact sells and link to the the store article that shows the prices of those enhancements. For example: 

Level 15 Natural/Magic Dual Origin Enhancements (150% base costs)

Badge Mission

Currently: Used only if the contact offers a mission that rewards a badge and that mission is not part of a story arc?

Proposed: Remove section. Rather than spelling out the entire mission here or listing the badges and linking to the articles, include the badges offered in the overview section and link to specific missions from there.

Why? Because sometimes, the badge mission might be part of an arc.

Story Arcs

Current: 

== Story Arc ==
=== <story arc title> ===
'''Souvenir:''' <name of the souvenir as it appears in the "Souvenir" tab of the Clues Window>


<introductory souvenir text>


'''<story arc title>'''


<souvenir story arc recap text>

Proposed: 

== <story arc title> (Story Arc) ==

And separate the souvenir into its own section.

Souvenirs

Creating a template for Souvenirs. Maybe something like this: 

{{Souvenir
|name=<name of the souvenir as it appears in the "Souvenir" tab of the Clues Window>
|text= <introductory souvenir text>


'''<story arc title>'''


<souvenir story arc recap text>
}}

Or: 

{{Souvenir
|name=<name of the souvenir as it appears in the "Souvenir" tab of the Clues Window>
|intro=<introductory souvenir text>
|title=<story arc title>
|recap=<souvenir story arc recap text>
}}

In either case, the souvenir would be placed at the top of the Story Arc it belongs to (before all of the missions, directly under the name of the arc). 

=== Souvenir ===
{{Souvenir
|name=<name of the souvenir as it appears in the "Souvenir" tab of the Clues Window>
|intro=<introductory souvenir text>
|title=<story arc title>
|recap=<souvenir story arc recap text>
}}

Missions

THIS SECTION CURRENTLY UNDER REVISION TO FIND A WAY TO REMOVE THE MISSION BRIEFING TEMPLATE FROM PRIMARY CONTACT BRIEFINGS/DEBRIEFINGS AND STILL MAINTAIN A FORMATTING STANDARD [1]

With changes in the Story Arc format, all missions would now be placed at the same level in the TOC, group by either arc, or as generic missions.

For each mission: 

=== {{UL|<name of mission>}} ===
'''<name of story arc><br />Part:  <mission number in arc>'''


{{Mission Briefing
|Contact=<contact name>
|Brief=<briefing text before accepting mission>
|Accept=<briefing text after accepting mission>
|Solicit=<text for unnecessarily soliciting a contact between acceptance and completion of a mission>}}


{{Mission Objective
|Entrance=<introduction text in the box that pops up when you enter the mission>
|Primary=<primary mission objective>
|Secondary1=<first secondary mission objective>
|Secondary2=<second secondary mission objective>
|Secondary3=<third secondary mission objective>
|Secondary4=<fourth secondary mission objective>
|Additional1=<first objective added to your mission after an event, i.e. "Lead hostage to exit", "Find mission exit.">
|Additional2=<second objective added to your mission after an event>
|Additional3=<third objective added to your mission after an event>
|Completion=<text at mission completion - usually displays in the same font/tab as rewards text,
always shows as last line in mission info after mission completion>}}

The only thing I can think of here is maybe differentiating between successful and failed mission completion text. Maybe a separate parameter for the mission failed text? 

|Completion=<text for succesful mission completion>
|Failure=<text for mission failure>

Also, add a parameter for any badges this mission offers 

|Badge=<name of badge>

That parameter would then be used to generate a BadgeBox under the mission objectives. 

Successful completion of this mission rewards you with the [[<badge article>]] accomplishment badge.
{{BadgeBox|<badge icon image>|<badge name>|<badge description text>}}

If there are interactions with other contacts during a mission (anything involving clicking on a contact and bringing up a new briefing window), add one of these for each: 

{{Mission Briefing
|Contact=<contact name>
|Brief=<briefing text during interaction>}}

If the Primary objective changes during the mission for any reason and can't be easily covered by the "Additional" parameter of the objectives, add one of these each time: 

{{Mission Objective
|Entrance=<introduction text in the box that pops up when you enter the mission>
|Primary=<primary mission objective>
|Secondary1=<first secondary mission objective>
|Secondary2=<second secondary mission objective>
|Secondary3=<third secondary mission objective>
|Secondary4=<fourth secondary mission objective>
|Additional1=<first objective added to your mission after an event, i.e. "Lead hostage to exit", "Find mission exit.">
|Additional2=<second objective added to your mission after an event>
|Additional3=<third objective added to your mission after an event>
|Completion=<text at mission completion>}}

List all of the unfriendly enemy groups that appear in the mission: 

'''Enemies'''
{{Enemy <enemy group 1>}}
{{Enemy <enemy group 2>}}
{{Enemy <enemy group 3>}}

List notable NPCs (may include AVs, named bosses, hostages, anyone of interest in the mission): 

'''Notable NPCs'''
*'''<notable NPC 1>''' ([[faction]], rank)
*'''[[<notable NPC 2>]]''' ([[faction]], rank)
*'''<named mob>''' ([[faction#unnamed mob|faction unnamed mob]], rank)
*'''<NPC hostage name>''' (NPC, hostage)

Now that we know the players involved, if there are any cutscenes that occur during the mission, place them here: 

{{Cutscene|Text='''<NPC 1>:'''
:<NPC 1's first line of text>
:<NPC 1's second line of text>


'''<NPC 2>:'''
:<NPC 2's first line of text>
:<NPC 2's second line of text>


'''<NPC 1>:'''
:<NPC 1's third line of text>}}

Currently, several articles (including the ones I've worked on) include dialog associated with any of these NPCs under the name of the NPC. But this won't work in cases where two notable NPCs are bantering back and forth or a generic mob of no other particular interest has some interesting dialog. So, my suggestion is to add a section for dialog: 

'''Notable Dialog'''


<NPC 1>:  ''<single line dialog text>''


<NPC 1>:  ''<first line of banter>''<br />
<NPC 2>:  ''<second line of banter>''<br />
<NPC 1>:  ''<third line of banter>''


<NPC 1>:  ''<first line dialog text>''<br />
<NPC 1>:  ''<second line dialog text>''<br />
<NPC 1>:  ''<third line dialog text>''

Notable Dialog should only include text that isn't part of a previous section (such as briefings or cutscenes).

Some missions will give you clues either during the mission or after the mission is complete. For each clue, insert a new Clue box: 

{{Mission Clue
|Name=<name of clue (as it appears in the Clues Window)>
|Text=<text of the clue>}}

In some missions, a failure will give you a different clue than a successful completion. There's currently no set method (that I'm aware of) for showing this. Perhaps a second set of parameters for use in a failed mission: 

|FailedName=<name of clue (as it appears in the Clues Window)>
|FailedText=<text of the clue>

These two parameters could be used to create a second Clue box with the failed clue name and clue text. The two boxes would specify either "Successful" or "Failed".

After the mission is complete and you either return to or call your contact, the debriefing text appears: 

{{Mission Briefing
|Type=Debriefing
|Contact=<contact name>
|Debrief=<successful mission text>}}

Again, this currently only allows for successful mission completion text. This can be worked around. 

{{Mission Briefing
|Contact=Dark Watcher
|Text=''(If Successful)'' <successful mission text>
''(If Failed)'' <failed mission text>}}

And then insert the next mission: 

=== {{UL|<name of mission>}} ===
'''<name of story arc><br />Part:  <mission number in arc>'''
etc.

Side Missions

Very similar to each mission entry in the Story Arc missions, but since they aren't part of an arc, they're placed in a different section. 

=== {{UL|<name of mission>}} ===
'''<name of story arc><br />Part:  <mission number in arc>'''


{{Mission Briefing
|Type=Briefing
|Contact=<contact name>
|Text=<briefing text before accepting mission>


<briefing text after accepting mission>}}


{{Mission Objective
|Entrance=<introduction text in the box that pops up when you enter the mission>
|Primary=<primary mission objective>
|Secondary1=<first secondary mission objective>
|Secondary2=<second secondary mission objective>
|Secondary3=<third secondary mission objective>
|Secondary4=<fourth secondary mission objective>
|Additional1=<first objective added to your mission after an event, i.e. "Lead hostage to exit", "Find mission exit.">
|Additional2=<second objective added to your mission after an event>
|Additional3=<third objective added to your mission after an event>
|Completion=<text at mission completion>}}


etc.

A section with links to any related articles. 

== See Also ==
* [[Article 1]]
* [[Article 2]]
* [[Article 3]]

Character History

An uncommon section, but it does show up once in a while. Usually used for characters that have had details or backstory revealed in sources outside of the game such as comics or novels. This section is pretty freeform and may include pictures, text, additional references, etc.

If any of the information in this section might be considered a spoiler, these templates should be placed around the potential spoilers: 

{{spoiler}}
{{endspoiler}}

Category

And, of course any category information that should be added to those generated automatically by templates should be placed at the end of the article.


Example Entry

And putting all of that together into one big, fat set of code:

 |intros= <link(s) to article(s) of contact(s) that this contact introduces>
 |enemies= <enemies; use {{Enemy <enemy name>}} for each enemy group>
 |badges=<any badges that are rewarded by this contact's missions, either linked to the mission that offers the badge
 (i.e. [[#Badge Mission Name|Badge Name]]), or linked to the badge using a template
