Talk:Tomes

Unless there's any objection, I think the D3 writings should have individual articles akin to their predecessors, but be put together when appropriate (e.g. there should be a single "Leah's Journal" article, not separate articles for each piece of said journal. Not sure about the monster blurbs Cain and al-Hazir give out, but anyway, work in progress.--Hawki (talk) 05:02, September 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * I agree with the combining of texts. However, once we get a lot of characters(letters etc.) on one articles, there may be a large increase in time taken to load the page. What do you propose we do about that? My first thought was to have the "Leah's Journal Page" include a list of sub-pages which have the block quotes (Eg. Leah/Article 1 or whatever the title is for the particular entry), though that may be counter-productive as the aim is to combine them.

 * If there are a ton of images, it may cause slowing down, but if it is mostly text, slowing down shouldn't be an issue unless the page exceeds around 30,000 bytes (I read something about that once, don't remember where).


 * I doubt images would be a problem. Any images would be of the tome itself in the game engine (which would be screenshot based, and from experience, that doesn't use up many pixels), or of how the parchment appears in the UI&mdash;potentially redundant, since the text would ideally be summarized in the article anyway. I'm kind of against sub-pages, because when each piece of D3 writing is only a few sentences of length, it would get overly fragmented.--Hawki (talk) 06:56, September 28, 2013 (UTC)

Adventure Mode
With the Adventure Mode tomes, I think it might be prudent to place them in the act they're found in. It's not an issue now, but if more acts are added to the game, then it would require to shift the tomes across templates each time one is added. Adventure Mode tomes, so far at least, still conform to act-based areas of the game.--Hawki (talk) 02:31, September 7, 2015 (UTC)


 * Most Adventure Mode tomes, with the only exception of Last of the Barbarians, appear in any Act. I guess we may put them to Act V. Or, you can make a new template for them, why not? Pryamus (talk) 18:36, September 7, 2015 (UTC)
