: Hello! Everything is not being deleted, just the older item pages. There has been a warning on the wiki's main page (since September) that anything added to item pages may be lost, as eventually every item page would be replaced. Yesterday, everything fell into place allowing a new bot to activate, which populated the wiki with item pages that contain a complete transfer of information from the json files. The older item pages used ItemT, a now removed template which approximated the pre-2015 look for in-game items. It didn't provide any information beyond the item name, value, and description. The new ITEM infobox template displays everything, including dye slot information on armor! You can see a good example of this on the [[Windstep Shoes]] page. More importantly, all of the keywords were added to the wiki, which allow for some extremely useful tables to be added onto skill and npc pages. Anyways, out of the ~3,270 old item pages, only about 200 had any user changes made to them that added content. Those changes were exported from the wiki before deletion, and will be re-added once it's confirmed that the bot added all pages properly.

Bartering
What's going on with the Bartering page? I get nothing whatsoever with multiple browsers. Unruly (talk) 11:50, 10 January 2019 (EST)Unruly
- There was an issue with the number of pages being transcluded onto the Bartering page. Apparently attempting to include sub-pages from more than fifteen other pages creates some issues. For now, I have replaced the page with a simplified list of NPCs in each zone that barter. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. BetaNotus (talk) 12:22, 10 January 2019 (EST)
NPC Templates
Beta, I made an npc Template, and converted over mushroom jack. Should make all npc pages look the same and should we need to make adjustments it'll just be in once place. Could you take a look and let me know what you think? thanks M3lkor (talk) 14:04, 31 August 2019 (EDT)
- Sure. See if you can message me in-game or at the link found on the Discord page. I like the overall concept, but it does cause a few issues right now. BetaNotus (talk) 14:11, 31 August 2019 (EDT)
Deletion
What is going on here, why is everything being deleted? 06:47, 22 February 2020 (EST) Evicos
- Hello! Everything is not being deleted, just the older item pages. There has been a warning on the wiki's main page (since September) that anything added to item pages may be lost, as eventually every item page would be replaced. Yesterday, everything fell into place allowing a new bot to activate, which populated the wiki with item pages that contain a complete transfer of information from the json files. The older item pages used ItemT, a now removed template which approximated the pre-2015 look for in-game items. It didn't provide any information beyond the item name, value, and description. The new ITEM infobox template displays everything, including dye slot information on armor! You can see a good example of this on the Windstep Shoes page. More importantly, all of the keywords were added to the wiki, which allow for some extremely useful tables to be added onto skill and npc pages. Anyways, out of the ~3,270 old item pages, only about 200 had any user changes made to them that added content.
