Talk:Siphoner Pools (Lower Caves)

Should we keep and update this page?

• Lower Caves is also covering this area, so it seems to be a duplicate
• the content in this page needs a huge update (the listed quest does not exist anymore, the secret 'goggles' is just random junk that can be fished, the screenshot is ugly and showing the UI, ...) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lyso (talk • contribs)

Yes, this page should be kept and updated. It's named in-game (in saved games and now also on the global map), so it gets a wiki article of its own. That's the idea.

Unfortunately most of the in-between areas don't have official unique in-game names, so we have a mix of huge articles for global map areas with dozens of zones, and one-zone articles like this. Global map articles like Lower Caves are intended to serve as overviews of the entire area, with nitty gritty details left to articles of smaller parts like this, when possible. So put the details of this zone here, not in Lower Caves. And yeah, fishing has been completely revamped since the alpha days (this used to be the only zone with anything to catch) so the article needs quite a bit of updating, looks like it doesn't even mention the tracker necklace quest. Many of the old location infobox screenshots were just quickly grabbed from devlogs at the time, please feel free to change any of them into something different you find appropriate.

On a different note, I appreciate the thoroughness you've been putting into wikifying the minutiae of each zone and updating old junk. Thank you and keep up the good work. Are you planning to do this for the entire game? (With that level of detail, perhaps the wiki can eventually move to a model where every zone has its own article + clickable html imagemaps of global maps for visual navigation alongside the old navboxes and articles...) - epeli (talk) 14:49, 13 January 2020 (CST)

Oh I see, Siphoner Pools is the only "Junkyard Tunnels X" which has a special name of the global map. OK will use the specific page. And I don't know if I'll do the full game. I don't always complete all my games, sometimes I get bored or switch to a different one before reaching the end. But as long as I keep playing, yeah probably. Lyso (talk) 17:07, 13 January 2020 (CST)
