What is going on here, why is everything being deleted? 06:47, 22 February 2020 (EST) [[User:Evicos|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. 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.

I got about 10 emails saying my pages/contributions were being deleted. I mostly added stuff for items so that explains it. Thanks keep up the good work. [[User:Evicos|Evicos]] ([[User talk:Evicos|talk]]) 11:17, 22 February 2020 (EST)
