: Farm from me to disagree on this one, I share Mekrith's opinion - not much sense in maintaining secrecy of already spoiled quests especially after 6 months. However the question of general nature arises - if an author doesn't want elements of his area, quests, maps, etc. displayed on the wiki (map of Halfling Tunnels comes to mind), is there any time or other policy governing when the stuff can be added anyway? -- [[User:WinterRose|WinterRose]] 09:02, 18 March 2012 (EDT) | : Farm from me to disagree on this one, I share Mekrith's opinion - not much sense in maintaining secrecy of already spoiled quests especially after 6 months.

why were the details for this quest removed?--3nki 10:50, 17 March 2012 (EDT)
Because years ago, if I recall correctly, Pulse specifically asked for it not to be spoiled. Of course, totally delinking the page and not even giving hints seems a bit overkill. Not that it matters anymore since once it's on the wiki history, it's there for good. --Neyne 14:23, 17 March 2012 (CDT)
It's so beyond spoiled and it's not even a very good item for the effort required, I have no idea why it still needs to be pretend-secret.
- Until Pulse then gives a green light and lifts the nospoiler delay I suppose it's understandable not to have quest details listed. However, decategorizing the page is not really needed - it's an informative page that currently contains no spoilers. --WinterRose 03:05, 18 March 2012 (EDT)
There is no "nospoiler delay" beyond 6 months for anything other than this particular quest, and it's not even a very interesting quest. I see no reason to maintain it, especially since the details are available by clicking on "history." --Mekrith 04:53, 18 March 2012 (EDT)
