==Change to Subpages==
Currently each NPC page with a bartering section, e.g. [[Flia#Bartering]], consists of a transclusion of the related subpage, in this case [[:Bartering:Flia]]. I plan to go through and change these transclusions to <nowiki>{{:Bartering:{{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} }}<wiki/nowiki>, which will have the same effect, but be the same on each page. This will also allow the bartering section to be put into its own template if desired. I think it will look cleaner this way, and it will be much simpler to create new NPC pages, since this section can simply be cut and pasted, with no need to type in the title of the new page each time.
At the same time i may think about playing around in my sandbox and trying to add dpl to this page (though i don't entirely know what i'm doing yet). Ideally all the bartering info will be available straight from this page without having to open the individual NPC pages. If i don't end up doing this, i would like at least to make the links redirect to the bartering sections of the pages, instead of simply to the top of each NPC page.

::I guess this turned out to be a dumb idea, because if we transclude then the BasePageName magic word gets copied instead of the correct subpage. --[[User:Alleryn|Alleryn]] ([[User talk:Alleryn|talk]]) 21:30, 7 November 2019 (EST)
