I have to say I somewhat like the current list. Only problem is I usually have to select an item to determine what star quality it is. I also like collapsable tables (personal opinion here) and not showing everything at once could be awesome. I know there is a template setup for tables but those tables seem to take up more space then the current bullet list. I've even looked to see if images could be used for bullets on a wiki and it does not seem to be the case (my idea was to replace the current square dots with the respective stars).
I'm thinking about putting each set (swords, guns, bombs, etc) in a table (as is) and have that table collapse. Maybe use rows with indenting for the next tier of gear.
I've tried to make a collapsing template for alchemy paths on my user page, but I cannot quite get the look without using a few nested tables. I also noticed that I cannot use the cellspan because each row is a templet.
Mouse Over Popup -
Could some coding be done to have some mouse over popups similar to how wowpedia.org has them on their Cataclysm Gems by Color page? I know wowhead.com provides the java and database, just wondering if the SK developers could code something similar for us?
I actually like being able to browse the list without having to click fifty times in order to see it all.
