→Loot tables?
there is actually a JSON file that's supposed to help with that. It's sources_items.json and it's not in the index because it's still quite buggy. (For instance it lists all quest IDs as 0.) But it's something I'm hoping to make usable soon. It may make it possible to auto-generate item sources}}

:: That's great news alleryn and I hope it becomes functional some day. I wanted to add a little bit of loot here and there to make the wiki pages not feel so barebones and also provide clues to what other loot might drop from monsters. Like if a monster page lists that it drops some types of cooking ingredients then it might also be a good thing to kill for other ingredients not listed. I'd have no hard feelings if my efforts got overwritten tomorrow by a better system, or if it is overwritten in a few years time either.
::So, I guess the question can be reworded as "how to temporarily handle the loot tables for monsters that appear in multiple zones?" If the JSON file can be used to verify the loot tables are the same, it'd simplify the question. If the tables are the same, then just make a single loot table. If the loot tables are different for some of the monsters, then the question for how to handle those pages remains. Using a spoiler for each zone loot table is probably ideal in a situation where a future overwrite of information is possibly/probable. I might try to do a test page on something here in the next few days to see what your thoughts are. Thanks for the new information ^^ [[User:Ransel|Ransel]] ([[User talk:Ransel|talk]]) 12:26, 6 August 2021 (EDT)
