OK, so what's the relationship between this article and the deferred features article? I think the latter one needs rewriting. Maybe it should be moved to unimplemented features. Also, currently the elf quest monsters here link to there, which isn't very useful. --ZeroOne 06:40, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

OK, never mind, I did that myself. :) --ZeroOne 06:45, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
IMO, the two articles should be defunct features and deferred features. Defunct features would remain unchanged; it's for features in previous versions of the game, but not the current one. Deferred features are those that have been announced (Pat Rankin's #tip) or are present in the source code but commented out or inaccessible (vorpal jabberwocky, burial). "Unimplemented" makes it sound like the features have never been coded, which would be inaccurate for everything we list. Tangentially: ideally the defunct/deferred features would all have their own articles, so for example we could see the Goblin King's stats before he was removed, and maybe even some strategy detailing how to beat him. --Eidolos 06:52, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
