Well, I've been looking around and finally found my old D1 strategy guide. So after reading through it, I decided it might be an idea to create a list of shrines (for D1 and 2).
My question is, should we have one giant page with all the info on it, or just seperate pages for each shrine?
That's actually a good idea about the shrines by the way. Some of those shrines I couldn't even tell what they had done once I activated them. I also hated the one that revealed the whole map to me. Made it difficult for me to explore where I hadn't been yet.
Alright, I took your advice and went and made a page listing all the D1 shrines. I figured that each individual article would be about 2 lines long so there wouldn't be a lot of point.

Generally speaking, unless it's much too much info, having all the information gathered on one page is excellent because it allows you to easily overview what is available in the wiki and what isn't.
It's not always practical, and after a while there might simply bee too much information. For example, listing all weapons from D2 complete with all stats and images on one page might be too much, but having them all accompanied with a more refined amount of data would probably be adviseable, as a user can quickly look through what different kind of items are available.
Structuring is key however to make sure it's easy to see what is what on a page like this though.
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.

Cool.. If possible, add hellfire shrines and indicate that they're from that game too.. I guess D1 and Hellfire deserve to be on the same page, and D2 has its own.

Without regard for previous posts, I would make a category for shrines, and branch it from there. Perhaps make 2 templates for nav bars. If you give me the info, I can have it done in 10-20 mins.
This is another formatting question, and I didn't feel like making a new thread for it, so I'm posting it here.
The table of contents (see here for example: http://wiki.diablofans.com/index.php/Sorceress) breaks the flow of the page, I think. Is there any way to make it float to the left or right so that text flows around it? It would really be appreciated. Right now it looks really awkward.

I don't think there is, looking at some random wikipedia articles I've seen none who have that kind of structure.

I forgot where I found this, but you can actually. {{TOCright}} flows it to the right, and _TOC_ places it wherever you input that text on the article. I can't remember all of its commands though...

I think it looks better myself if when you search "Shrines" it'll ask if you want the D2 shrine page or the D1 shrine page.

Sorry, I'd give you a link but I haven't figured out how yet.
