Talk:Relic Weapons

From Final Fantasy XIV Online Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

I propose correcting all "Relic Weapon" pages that refer to Zodiac Zeta/Zodiac/Brave's to instead be named and referred to as one of the three latter options. Reasoning: Relic Weapon/Quest covers all relic weapons. Clicking on Zodiac Weapons on the first line on that page takes you to Relic Weapons with an "s". It seems like a better idea is to refer to Zodiac weapons as Zodiac weapons and All relic weapons (the general term, to include Zodiac/Anima/Resistance) as "Relic Weapon/Quest" or "Relic Weapons"

I'm not sure how long this would take to change considering links would need to be updated. If someone thinks I should edit this myself to reflect it, I will. I don't have tools to handle finding all "Relic_Weapon" links to update them to "Zodiac_Weapon" though. Not sure where to start.

Anyone else have thoughts on this?


The page is the way it is because there were originally two pages (Relic Weapons and Zodiac Weapons) that were near-duplicates of each other. Zodiac only refers to the A Realm Reborn weapons after the i90 step. I attempted to explain this in the opening blurb. The ilvl 80 A Realm Reborn weapons do no have a more specific name, and are classified as "job quests" on the official Eorzea Database.

I also don't understand the comment about Relic Weapon/Quest as this subpage doesn't exist, and Relic Weapons/Quest only covers the ilvl 80 step of the A Realm Reborn weapons.

In any case Relic Weapons is now a standalone page to cover all relics from all expansions in general. The links will be a mess, but I need to wait on header changes to propagate before looking at it again. Freedom4556 (talk) 16:47, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
