<p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{Notice|This is a draft proposal for formatting hero challenge articles. Join the discussion [[Guild Wars 2 Wiki talk:Hero challenge formatting|here]].}}<br />
<br />
This article documents the common [[Guild Wars 2 Wiki:Practices and processes|practices, processes, and formatting]] for [[hero challenge]] articles.<br />
<br />
== Naming ==<br />
The name of the article for a hero challenge has the following conventions:<br />
* Communing - Interacting with an object and finishing the dialogue.<br />
** Use the {{tl|Object infobox}} for the hero challenge.<br />
** Use the name of the object as given in the dialogue (i.e. do not include [Hero Challenge]).<br />
** The hero challenge will be categorized on the object page.<br />
* Sparring - Talking to an NPC starts an [[Dynamic event|event]] where you must defeat the NPC<br />
** Use the {{tl|Event infobox}} for the hero challenge.<br />
** Use the name of the event: '''Hero Challenge: <Event name>'''<br />
** Use the NPC infobox to describe the NPC.<br />
** The hero challenge will be categorized on the event page.<br />
* Vanquish - Interacting with an object starts an event where you must defeat the an enemy or group of enemies.<br />
** Use the {{tl|Event infobox}} for the hero challenge.<br />
** Use the name of the event: '''Hero Challenge: <Event name>'''<br />
** Use the object infobox to describe the object.<br />
** The hero challenge will be categorized on the event page.<br />
* Consumable - Interacting with an object gives an item that, when consumed, completes a hero challenge.<br />
** Use the {{tl|Item infobox}} for the hero challenge.<br />
** Use the name of the item.<br />
** Use the object infobox to describe the object.<br />
** The hero challenge will be categorized on the item page.<br />
* Special - Certain hero challenges involve unique actions such as going through enough dialogue from an object but can usually be described with one of the above.<br />
<br />
In general, the name of a hero challenge should be that which directly awards the [[hero point]].<br />

=== Communing dialogue ===<br />
{{see|Guild Wars 2 Wiki:Dialogue formatting}}<br />
The dialogue for communing style hero challenges usually follows the same basic template, of which between hero challenges, only the major dialogue/description changes. A basic template for the dialogue section of a communing style hero challenge is as follows:<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
;Before completion<br />
:{{Dialogue icon|herono}} <!-- Dialogue description for this hero challenge --><br />
:{{Dialogue icon|more}} ''Commune with this place of power.''<br />
:{{Dialogue icon|end}} ''Leave this place.'' <!-- If an end dialogue appears only, as not all communes have this line while uncompleted. --><br />
<br />
;After completion<br />
:{{Dialogue icon|heroyes}} <!-- Dialogue description for this hero challenge. Note that this is the same as the before completion dialogue, usually. --><br />
:{{Dialogue icon|end}} ''You've gained all you can from this place of power.''<br />
