ItemT changes

Please notice icon= syntax for Template:ItemT is deprecated. This was dropped when ItemT was converted to use Template:Item_icon. See docs for details. Arindor (talk) 09:43, 3 May 2017 (CDT)

I have to admit, I completely missed that change (which I really like). Thank you for both implementing it, and pointing it out. BetaNotus (talk) 18:06, 4 May 2017 (CDT)

You are welcome. I'm glad you liked it! Arindor (talk) 13:24, 5 May 2017 (CDT)

Very handy, is there anything similar for skill icons? I've just been uploading each individually (example: Cloud Sight ) but I'm not really up to speed on anything that happened since last June. Medicus (talk) 14:52, 9 July 2017 (CDT)

Welcome back. Yes, there is such a thing, at least partially. Check Template:Ability_icon BetaNotus (talk) 16:00, 9 July 2017 (CDT)

Thank you, works like a charm. Medicus (talk) 20:08, 9 July 2017 (CDT)

New Template Help? - Gifting

Heya, you're the most recently active person that I've been able to find that seems to have done template work. I'm new to editing the wiki, and one of the things that I've taken on as a task is helping out with gifting and favor in general. I'd like a template for items that upon adding an NPC and favor amount, the NPC would then gain it listed on their page. Is this even possible? Could you help me with it?

Hello there! What you are asking for is somewhat possible, and a few current editors are working on a solution. If you could reach out to me in-game (same username) or though the Discord, I can explain in greater detail. BetaNotus (talk) 14:46, 8 April 2018 (EDT)

Food transfer

There are lots of articles in the Food category, why move them to Items/Food that is hardly used and not as easy to read? Caleon (talk)

The old categories were added in a mostly failed attempt to self-categorize items that proved to be too great a task at the time,and game updates have provided a better system. Switching category tags on all items is something that needs to happen, and a bot is being written to add them automatically to item pages. I'll do my best to explain, using the Large Strawberry. In-game, and through the available json files, the Large Strawberry is categorized with a number of Keywords. (BrewingFruitA4, BrewingIngredient, Edible, Food, FoodorCookingIngredient, Fruit, Ingredient, InstantSnack, Snack). These keywords, when applied to every item, will allow the wiki to generate very specific lists using dpl that can be tied into NPC purchase lists, favor, or skill pages. For example, an updating list of every item that is an Instant Snack or meal could be created. Marna Loves Rare Recipes. Instead of letting users guess what is a "Rare Recipe", the Small Talk section for Marna will directly link to a list of all items in the Items/RareRecipe category.
