Quest page layout[]

Layout
Section headline required? Content

No Achievement infobox (if applicable).

"{{PAGENAME}} is a Fallout 3 side quest. It is also a Playstation 3 trophy and a Xbox/PC achievement."

Quick walkthrough Yes Numbered list (#) with a short description for each step.
Detailed walkthrough Yes With each objective as a sub-section.
Journal entries Yes/No Journal entries for this quest. Required only for regular quests in gamebryo games (FO3, FNV). Not required for unmarked quests in gamebryo games or quests in other games.
Notes No For interesting things about the quest which do not fit into the other categories. Try to keep this section to a minimum.
Behind the scenes No For out-of-game references and similar stuff. Keep at minimum.
Bugs No For bugs which are unique to this quest. General game bugs and bugs which are related to other things should not be in the quest article, unless they somehow interfere with its objectives.

Navboxes No Navboxes go at the end of the article.

Maybe also a "Quick walkthrough" section, like in UESP? Ausir(talk) 23:52, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Yeap, I agree. It's good for a quick overview of the quest. We could also consider adding the journal entries at the bottom like they do - it's just a bit of copy/paste for someone with the GECK. -- Porter21 (talk) 06:38, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Finished?[]

Does this layout still need modification? -- Porter21 (talk) 21:51, September 17, 2009 (UTC)

Looks like it. Ausir(talk) 05:06, September 23, 2009 (UTC)
Is "looks like it" the answer to the question in the headline or to my question? :) -- Porter21 (talk) 08:17, September 23, 2009 (UTC)
Yes. :) Ausir(talk) 08:43, September 23, 2009 (UTC)
Couldn't resist. :) Seriously though, I'd say it's finished. Ausir(talk) 08:51, September 23, 2009 (UTC)
:) Just a small question regarding journal entries - does it make sense to have this as a required section for the classics? I've never played them (as you know I guess), so I don't know whether there are multiple journey entries for each quest. -- Porter21 (talk) 08:58, September 23, 2009 (UTC)
No, there aren't. The only entry is the name of the quest. Ausir(talk) 09:03, September 23, 2009 (UTC)
Okay, I've modified it - I hope it's clear. -- Porter21 (talk) 09:47, September 23, 2009 (UTC)
