 * Baziczech
 * [...]And some navboxes, they need a lot of work too.

 * Yeah, navboxes are a big bullet point on my list as well. They used to be way worse (all handcoded divs, no metatemplate at all). But they definitely could use some additional work.
 * I've toyed with the idea of generating them from categories with DPL. But there are probably performance problems, if they are transcluded to a multitude of pages.


 * Baziczech
 * I tried to complete Template:Currency. Buildings end in 2017, Quests too, Decorations in 2016... :)


 * NoWayThisUsernameIsAlreadyOwnedBySomeone
 * Yeah... Also I feel like they have grown too big now
 * Maybe more specialized ones might be in order. One for each conform-o-meter stat, one for each event, ..
 * Listing >1000 items probably isn't super helpful
 * I don't think that anybody is seriously using e.g. the decoration navbox to find interesting related pages.


 * Baziczech
 * Yes. You mean one navbox for each event, containing all new (returning too?) items and quests and currencies etc.?


 * NoWayThisUsernameIsAlreadyOwnedBySomeone
 * Yeah pretty much. I think those would provide more relevant information than the current ones.
 * We kind of have the quests already. It's just a table atm, but it kind of looks like the navboxes


 * Baziczech
 * You're right. We can start with creating these navboxes, but there will be lots of work changing them in all articles. :)
 * I think all articles should be "navigated" by their event/level, but still also by their nature. Like Currencies or Mystery Boxes etc. These two navboxes are small, Buildings, Quests, Decorations would be harder.
 * And now all those changes with Krustyland nuked. :-/


 * NoWayThisUsernameIsAlreadyOwnedBySomeone
 * Yes, I agree. Mystery Boxes are certainly easy. Currencies probably need to be changed so that each year is a collapsible subheader that goes over the entire width of the box. That would get rid of the weird non-aligned starts of the actual currency entries.
 * The bigger ones will need more thought.
