 [15-30] The Mark of Quality displayed with a table of contents that included both alliance and horde headers, when I had javascript off.

I did have to correct usage of the Patch template on the alliance side, not sure if that contributed.

Both faction quest pages are being included on that page by default; but the Horde faction is hidden. If JS is disabled, there's no way to clean the TOC up, sadly. The template used to be used in conjunction with a disambig line pointing to both pages which was hidden if JS was enabled, not sure where that went by the wayside. --Pcj (TDrop me a line!•C207,729 contributions and counting) 23:56, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

So why are we including both faction pages by default? --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 07:13, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Satin Battlegear is kinda funky, too. It shows Satin Battlegear (Alliance) or Satin Battlegear (Horde) instead of Satin Hood (Alliance) or Satin Hood (Horde) in the lootbox. --g0urra[T҂C] 00:02, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

{{Faction disambiguation}} was designed for quests, not items -- so when used on item articles, it doesn't quite cover all the use cases. I've made a {{lootbox}} change that removes the observed funkiness as a side-effect: it now complains that there's no item data on the linked page rather than attempting to transclude it. — foxlit (talk) 02:32, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

I'm guessing that we're overworking Faction Disambiguation, if we're trying that sort of thing. --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 07:13, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
