Testing out loot formats.
:::: I would advise <b>not</b> turning mobs into disambiguation pages. The wiki would end up with 9+ nearly-identical pages for some monsters, and 2-4 pages for most monsters. Disambiguating mobs by zone would also interfere with existing dpl tables across the wiki. I support Alleryn's suggestion of a section for general loot + separate sections for each zone (Plus this system already exists on a handful of pages). If necessary, loot information could be transferred to sub-pages and transcluded back to their parent page. This will likely have to happen for easier implementation of json-generated lists anyways.

:::::Sounds good BetaNotus, I'll use Alleryn's suggestion and try to split the loot tables into equipment and such that are specific to one zone in one loot table, stuff that likely drops from all the monsters in the other table. Will try this in the next few days. Cheers! [[User:Ransel|Ransel]] ([[User talk:Ransel|talk]]) 12:52, 7 August 2021 (EDT)
::::: I tried out the suggestion on the [[Venom Spider]] page and it looks a lot cleaner. It might make sense to spoiler the zone specific loot also. I think the zone specific loot tables might have to be transcluded as BetaNotus mentioned. I'm not sure the spoiler tags would work with the loot table otherwise. I tried out what spoilers would look like on my sandbox page here [[User:Ransel/Sandbox]]. It'd probably look a little cleaner with a bolded spoiler title, but a flag could possibly be added to the spoiler template if the spoilered approach is chosen.
