== Version Tracking and where to move legacy resources == Greetings! As I am starting to walk through the many pages, articles and objects in this wiki, I am noticing that there doesn't seem to be a mechanism/device/tag for the version of the game at the time the edits are made. I see in some pages a reference to 'This might have existed prior to mod 16' but that is about all. I also do not see a clear place or procedure to move outdated quests/resources to a Legacy namespace where it can be retained for historical purposes. This is especially important if one decides to update the Tooltips for all the equipment to the new post-mod16 stats. There is value in being able to compare the mechanics of the game (i.e. balance) pre and post major changes like mod6 and mod16. Ideally the code for such a mechanic would lend itself to a wiki-bot that could either flag all the outdated entries for clean-up or once marked with a certain tag periodically auto-move them to a new namespace. A couple of examples: Rhix is currently described in his old role of exchanging various drop items for currencies. He currently only has one quest directing the new user to the nearby vendors. The old role is of historical interest and should be preserved in a pre-modX state. The same could be said for the Dwarf that issued daily dungeon chest keys which now is useless ... or the old salvage NPC ... and then there is the entire old Profession system. Thoughts on strategies and mechanisms to implement such an environment are most welcome.

Due to the significant changes in item stat in MOD16, it's just automatically displaying a note to clarify "This might have existed prior to mod 16".
