So, yeah. Trying to write up Jackson Spinner's mob id page and one of the missions he starts is;

Demo Derby: Not One, But a Few

My question is, how do I stick that in a comma delimited list without the comma seperating it out onto two lines?

I would like to know the answer to that one as well. I ran into the same problem with one of the Spooktacular quests (Double, Double, Toil and Trouble). I ended up just listing it underneath the template, not as a |relquest= at all.

Woot! I found the answer!

Apparently you have to list them out the long way such as in fr mob:Crash Davis;

|starts=
* [ [ FR Quest:Demo Derby: Tucker's Troubles ] ]
* [ [ FR Quest:Demo Derby: License to Drive ] ]
* [ [ FR Quest:Demo Derby: Routine Maintenance ] ]
* [ [ FR Quest:Demo Derby: So Long, Betty! ] ]
* [ [ FR Quest:Demo Derby: Spare Parts ] ]
* [ [ FR Quest:Demo Derby: Dealing Damage ] ]
* [ [ FR Quest:Demo Derby: Curious Crash ] ]
* [ [ FR Quest:Demo Derby: Arena Revenge ] ]

This seems to bypass the comma delimiter.

Hope that helps.

Yup! That's the unfortunate long way we ended up having to do that. Commas in quest names ended up being our bane for related quest listings. ;)

Another way would be to list it without a comma, which would make a red link, then have the extra page redirect to the actual page. Personally I prefer doing the long bullet list rather than redirecting pages, but either way works.

edit: BTW if you need a bit more immediate help with a wiki issue feel free to PM me, I usually see that quite a while before I catch things on the forums. :)

Not this time... but usually, yes. Smiley: tongue

This time, the problem was trying to edit the page when it was too late at night. I went back after I read this today and was able to correct it right away. Smiley: rolleyes
