Midnight Monuments

I've been thinking about doing the monuments for Midnight's pages – should we list the full text on each island page, or link it to a subpage (the main island page could have the general location of the monument)? – Yaten ^talk 23 July 2005 14:54 (PDT)

Subpage sounds pretty good, gives 'em a treasure hunt if they don't want to know and lets the don't care to hunt know what it is. --Guppymomma 23 July 2005 14:55 (PDT)

What would be the name of the page? Perhaps "Namath Island monument", for example?

Namath Island/monument. --Guppymomma 24 July 2005 07:42 (PDT)

I've finished up all the monument pages (I think). After doing them all, I noticed the Wikipedia Manual of Style states "Do not link words in article titles; find other ways to include and then link those words." We ought to make an effort to follow this one, but there aren't any other occurrences of "<blah> Island", except in the full text. Any ideas? – Yaten ^talk 29 July 2005 15:10 (PDT)

Another wording that comes to mind is, "This monument is located North of Somewhere on Such-and-such Island." - is it more important to not have a link in the repeated title or to repeat the title?--AtteSmythe 29 July 2005 15:38 (PDT)

Cobalt/Viridian/Ice Inscription pictures

See User talk:Yaten#More island stuff for the original discussion. Any thoughts on doing this?

Could be interesting to do. I know I would at least love to see the size of the island from the mini-map page as sometimes people won't recognize islands by name anyways. Kill two birds with one stone? I would still keep the history anyways and the rough location. Rappak 15:16, August 8, 2005 (PDT)

Are we talking about screenshots of the spot where the inscription is or are we talking about little zoomed out maps of the islands? --Guppymomma 15:55, 8 August 2005 (PDT)

I believe we are talking about zoomed out maps.Rappak 20:05, August 8, 2005 (PDT)
