On Shops

Lord Matt sayeth: A good page should not only tell you what items you might expect (and prices?) about where the shop is and any back story it might have.

That's a lot of work. Let us begin.

Sounds like a plan. ;) --Jacob 14:20, 9 Apr 2006 (CDT)

Prize Shops

Just wondering, should prize shops get their own articles as well? I personally think so, but I'd like someone else's opinion.

BTW, correct me if I'm wrong, but the Shop Wizard shouldn't really be in this article, right? -DreamingLady 08:23, 19 Sep 2007 (UTC)

Prize shops for plots go on the respective plot pages, under the "prizes" section. And no, I don't think Shop Wizard should be in this category, due to him/her not being a shop. It's part of the shopping experience, but at the current use of this category, it shouldn't be here. --Jacob 09:17, 19 Sep 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, that's part of the whole plot thing I'm currently looking into. I noticed there's quite little unity between the plot articles and that most plot pages are quite chaotic. So I'm currently trying to think of ways things could be a little more organized. And one thing I've been thinking of is to split the prize shops from the plots' prize sections and give them their own articles. They have everything to qualify for such a treatment. Only argument against is their close connection to the plots. My suggestion for the prize sections of the plot pages would be a link to the prize shop article (of course), write a small summary about the prizes/prize shop and for the rest solely focus on the trophies (with correct titles), avatars and site themes. That in itself already is a lot of info; info that needs to be organized in tables....lots of tables. DreamingLady 19:30, 19 Sep 2007 (UTC)

The prize/reward section of plots will not be separated from the plot articles. If a plot rewards the user for completing tasks, it will be noted in that section. Rewards include avatars, site themes, items, and trophies. Remember, the prize shop system wasn't always used. The plot shop method is a new prize system they created to make things fairer to all users, who would have more of a choice in what they could get, rather than have no choice at all. They are not "shops" as the ones in this category. They are just another method for the user to select their prize.

I can understand you wanting to organize the prize section better, but in no way will it ever be separated from the plot they speak of. Please find a way to do it within the article. :( --Jacob 19:49, 19 Sep 2007 (UTC)
