Category talk:Poop quests

Seems like an unnecessary category... going to delete unless someone can give a good reason to keep. 07:07, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

It's just a fun factor category. I wouldn't have thought that pages such as List of pop culture references in Warcraft are necessary either. SteveKaye (talk) 10:00, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

We have actually been discussing these quests with much amusement on alt.games.warcraft. Obviously Blizzard appreciates a wide range of humorous references in the game, if they care enough to add quests to this theme, why shouldn't we assemble them for those that find the amusement in them?

Straightforward keep
There are a lot of excrement-related quests in the game, in every stage from vanilla on, but currently no way to, er, find them all. It's a reasonable category with a non-sensationalistic name. TMWNN (talk) 17:24, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

While I'm not really that big a fan of the topic (don't hit me!), given the support for this category at this point, I suspect a vote to remove it would be more in order than an arbitrary removal, Coobra. --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 19:41, 11 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I was just looking to see if more than one person (the creator) wanted this, and apparently there is. So while a vote can be done, I no longer have a reason to remove it... given soon after my comment 3 people defended straight away. 19:53, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Question is.. will the average player/user understand what coprophilic means? Or will this need to be renamed to a more simpler term... I guess it doesn't really matter though, it probably is the best non-nasty sounding name you could use. 20:01, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The category description does tell it all for the curious. That is, for anyone who stumbles upon the category and cares at all about it. --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 21:35, 11 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I was one of those that did not know what coprophilic meant, so I had to look (when I seen it added), who knew you could learn something from WoWWiki, but I think the category should stay because there are always discussions about them on the different web forums off / on. -- 21:59, 11 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks all for the support. Mentioning "poop quests" in general chat in the game always draws comments of recognition. I'd also considered "scatological" to describe the category. What can I say? I'm a fan of sesquipedalian words. -- ScratchMonkey (talk) 23:47, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * One cannot eschew obfuscation simply by being terse, laconic lacunae still perplex. --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 18:21, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia sayz "Coprophilia is the paraphilia involving sexual pleasure from feces." All other dictionaries seem to agree with that definition. Reading through the quests, I don't think any of them fit the "sexual pleasure" part. Scatological sounds like a better term to me, though "poop quests" would be better for recognisability. --Ijffdrie (talk) 16:03, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Absolutely agreed with at least changing the name. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 16:21, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Scatological seems to involve the study of it.. it might just be best to go with Excrement quests. 21:09, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
