Sorry for the long reply. I've tried to break it up into sections to make it easier to read.

None of this is meant to berate or attack anyone. I appreciate the tremendous effort that everyone has put into this wiki (even those who are no longer very active).

I'm not sure why someone told you to make the quests into a blog. Anybody can edit the main namespace, but edits to the blog namespace are more limited (especially since blogs and profile pages are usually considered "personal space"). There are actually quest "series" pages from long ago... They've just fallen out of use as more and more things have been released (and we haven't had the editors to keep up).

I can understand and sympathize with the comment about limited time and other obligations. Real life things like family, health, education and employment should always come first. We can argue over whether the wiki or the game is more important elsewhere (just kidding about the arguing) ;-).

Like Rose, I don't take any offense to someone coming in and editing anything in "my" areas (considering that I've basically edited everywhere on the wiki, there would be big problems if others didn't edit the same places I do!). I usually appreciate it very much. The few times that I feel an editor has not improved a particular area, I have made comments on their talk page. Most editors have welcomed my comments, although we sometimes move the discussion to the page for the area so that more people can add their input to the discussion.

As far as links go, it doesn't really matter what order they are created in. Eventually, they will all be created. If you create a link to something that doesn't exist, all it does is put it in the list at Special:WantedPages, Special:Wantedfiles, Special:Wantedtemplates, etc. If the items are linked, it actually makes it easier for other editors to see what still needs to be added to the wiki.

I have to agree that QuestsNav has some serious problems. It wasn't really created for the frequent release of large amounts of quests. I'm not entirely sure of the best way to solve it at this point. Some discussion about it on the talk page for the nav would probably be the best way to attempt to fix it. And yes, a few quests have been started/stopped at the same time (mostly since Zynga started accelerating releases).

As far as one page vs many pages for quests and goals, I have no strong opinion. As long as the data gets added to the wiki, it can be split into a separate article (depending on the length of the article) at some time in the future. Or merged if needed.
