Due to the amount of informations in this article, it is becoming harder to maintain as time goes on. I am thinking about splitting this article - Perhaps Daily Puzzle 2007 and Daily Puzzle 2008 (and Daily Puzzle 2009 for next year)? Any better suggestions? --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] <sup>( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] )</sup> 16:33, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

:Yes, I was thinking the same thing. We could split it up as you suggested to mirror the [[Altador Cup]] tournaments. It's straightforward and gets the job done neatly. --[[User:Dizzy|Dizzy]] 19:08, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

:Thinking the same here.  There's not much difference between each year, though, so having to maintain full articles is probably unnecessary.  You could just have archives of the questions and answers part, instead of creating three full articles (so you can do <nowiki>{{:Daily Puzzle Archive 2009}}</nowiki> to transclude [[Daily Puzzle Archive 2009]] here, and links to [[Daily Puzzle Archive 2007]] and [[Daily Puzzle Archive 2008]]).  Also, this way, it's still possible to have a single page (by transcluding all of the archive pages in sequence).

Appearance of correct answer[edit]

Would it be better if the correct answer in each puzzle was made bold instead of having the text "correct answer" next to every correct answer? I'm thinking yes. --Jacob 07:45, 19 Sep 2007 (UTC)

I'm fine with that. --Dizzy 12:11, 19 Sep 2007 (UTC)
Likewise. --SwordFire 15:30, 19 Sep 2007 (UTC)
Sure. --Macbeth 21:25, 20 Sep 2007 (UTC)

Trivia images[edit]

The trivia images since the Daily Puzzles creation have become defunct and replaced with the generic trivia image for the past few months. As of today, it's now showing this image. I'm just wondering how we should be displaying this data. --Jacob 02:45, 12 Oct 2007 (UTC)

It's not likely that TNT will create specific trivia images in the near future. We could remove all of the trivia images and use the new default image as the article image. --SwordFire 14:15, 14 Oct 2007 (UTC)
I was thinking the same thing. Though they may surprie us in the future. In the meantime, we could place all the image links here for reference. --Jacob 23:09, 14 Oct 2007 (UTC)
As discussed. --SwordFire 14:23, 19 Oct 2007 (UTC)

Article size[edit]

Due to the amount of informations in this article, it is becoming harder to maintain as time goes on. I am thinking about splitting this article - Perhaps Daily Puzzle 2007 and Daily Puzzle 2008 (and Daily Puzzle 2009 for next year)? Any better suggestions? --SwordFire ( talk | contrib ) 16:33, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. We could split it up as you suggested to mirror the Altador Cup tournaments. It's straightforward and gets the job done neatly. --Dizzy 19:08, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
Thinking the same here. There's not much difference between each year, though, so having to maintain full articles is probably unnecessary. You could just have archives of the questions and answers part, instead of creating three full articles (so you can do {{:Daily Puzzle Archive 2009}} to transclude Daily Puzzle Archive 2009 here, and links to Daily Puzzle Archive 2007 and Daily Puzzle Archive 2008). Also, this way, it's still possible to have a single page (by transcluding all of the archive pages in sequence).
If subpages are available in the main article space, using those might make sense too. AySz88 21:55, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for splitting the article, Dizzy. :) I saw the responds, but unfortunately I forgotten about it while working on some other things...

Three choices on 12/1[edit]

Has it happened before? If not...is it interesting enough to be a trivia stat? AySz88 08:56, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Definitely, since previous indicates it has never happened before. --Pinkgirl 02:53, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

And only one choice today. Went through the history and found that there were 2 choices on May 10, 2007, and 3 choices on September 2, 2008 (oops!). AySz88 20:46, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
