:Yes, was a bit torn by that creating the template.  Unfortunately, "favor" is often used in the context of a numerical value: i.e. 60 favor for gifting a Council Certificate.  This template is still very much under construction, and thinking it might get inherited by something else that does use numerical favor (maybe by a table of items that can be traded for favor?), I opted to go with "level" to possibly avoid confusion.  But I agree, not the best term.  Maybe something else will come to mind.  "favor-level" is most accurate, but cumbersome.  Others: Relationship, association (no better), status (not very description).  Trying to remember what other games use instead of "favor".

Parameter 'level' to 'favor' ?

I'd like to change 'level' to 'favor' if that's alright before too much stuff uses this template. I think it would be a more descriptive parameter name. Alleryn (talk) 10:00, 3 March 2017 (CST)

Yes, was a bit torn by that creating the template. Unfortunately, "favor" is often used in the context of a numerical value: i.e. 60 favor for gifting a Council Certificate. This template is still very much under construction, and thinking it might get inherited by something else that does use numerical favor (maybe by a table of items that can be traded for favor?), I opted to go with "level" to possibly avoid confusion. But I agree, not the best term. Maybe something else will come to mind. "favor-level" is most accurate, but cumbersome. Others: Relationship, association (no better), status (not very description).

Recipes

I got a bit derailed from completing this template when I encountered recipes. See Braigon Training section. I went so far as to modify the item description thinking I was dealing with a recipe description, before I realized that we need something like: Template:Tlc which would show the icon and link to Recipe: Item (instead of Item), and then a Template:Tlc which would work just like this template, but call Template:Tlc instead of item, to link the correct recipes. The problem is: we don't currently have any Recipes in the wiki. So trying to decide if I should push forward and just do it, or skip it for now.

There does seem to be some utility for Recipes in the wiki though. Have a look at Basic Rennet. Completely wrong from an item perspective, but perhaps useful from a recipe perspective. I still have recipes which I'd like to know where to find, what the ingredients list is, etc. and having Recipe pages would help with that.
