All the weapon pages are formatted differently!

For example, look at the cutters.

The cutter has, in order: Description, Acquisition, Attacks, Damage, Recipe, Alchemy Path, Notes, See Also.
The striker has, in order: Description, Attacks, Damage, Vendors, Recipe, Alchemy Path, See Also.
The hunting blade is the same as the striker, but with "Vendors" replaced with "Acquisition".

...What? They should be changed to be formatted in the same way, but which way is best?

Originally they were going to be changed to Attacks/Damage first since that's what people are primarily interested in.
Any ones that weren't like that already were because the damage info wasn't filled in/reviewed yet, and better to update them all at once.

Vendors is supposed to be Acquisition, but the change was not made on all the pages yet.

If you want to help, I made a template in the past that should aid in consistent format here. The acquisition template is a very current WiP.

New template?

I was looking at the fiery Breaker Helms, and noticed that you put in a new template for the Firebreak Helm.

Is this version going to be continued, or removed?

You made that edit a while ago, and I don't see anything else using it.

I like the enlarged title and tiny image put in next to the title, but I would prefer the stars and set where they currently are.

(Also, when will the new monster template be added in?)

Please be more specific about the Firebreak Helm. Which version of what are you referring to?

I like the enlarged title and tiny image put in next to the title, but I would prefer the stars and set where they currently are.

This is an ancient, out of date format, sorry. It was changed after much discussion, mostly due to enormous item names associated with the gunnerupdate. Read more about it here. I'm surprised we missed this item.

Please keep discussion about the monster template in the appropriate thread. It has lower priority than current projects because the information on existing pages is fine, the new monster template is just a massive aesthetic/informative improvement. Projects that take priority are ones that need information updated, with larger ones being done when we have more people inspired to contribute. Please be mindful that all wiki work is volunteer, and therefore done on our time when we have time. If you want to see something done badly, you can always give it a try yourself.

Oookay then...

Basically it was a mistake for it to have that template?

Alright then...

EDIT: Just noticed that it said "This is part of the Firebreak Set Set", fixed that. Is the set section even necessary at all when it's built into the template?

There are many such redundancies/weirdnesses with page format (mostly with only weapons I hope ;n;) - fix them as you see them.

Sigh, missing notes + notes subsection: history for many of these. Piles of work! :P

As long as it's fun to fix...

Finally -

Should "recipe" and "alchemy path" be...

1. Separate sections of the page (seen in Emberbreak and Firebreak helm pages)

2. Sub-sections of the "Acquisition" section (seen in Blazebreak helm page)

Sleeping now, and yes, we are going to be fixing up weapon pages soon.

Okay, considering that part -

Checked (and updated where necessary) all armor and helmet pages for the alchemy path/recipe thing.

Shields and weapons still need checking.

Also fixed the Beast Basher page, it wasn't showing the damage bonus vs. beasts.
