Hm ... keeping them in their own namespace seems to be the best idea
to me. That way, all quests are kept in the same place and not
scattered across characters, items or places. They can (and should)
still be linked from the description page of that character, item or
place.

Don't know if that can be easily done with namespaces. Having all
class description sharing the same namespace doesn't seem badly
organized to me. The information, what race may chose a certain class
will be in the description (and I imagine there will be some sort of
matrix or TOC where all that can be seen at a glance). Much like

Shouldn't we add the game the quest is meant for as well. I.e

Quest:DB;
Quest:DB:Main
Quest:DB:Subquest:
Quest:DB:Sidequest:

Otherwise it looks good (although I'm not sure what the difference
between sub- and sidequests would be).
