I've started expanding the individual crafting materials pages. See http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Dark_Shard for an example. I've finished the 0 and 1 star items. If you're interested in expanding some of the materials pages, see the info after the next bit of discussion.

After all the materials pages are expanded, I plan on removing the "Recipe Uses" column from the crafting page. It's in microscopic font and is making the table much longer than it needs to be. The information in that column is also not up to date. At the same time I will go through and make sure the star ratings of the materials are correct because some of them are currently wrong; I will also remove the now no longer needed sklink template since the table is marked to keep links white. Any thoughts on this? Any further desired revisions for that table? With the removal of the recipes, I should be able to bump up the font size.

-----------------------------------------------

For the individual crafting materials pages, follow the examples I've already done. To get the full list of recipes that a material is used in, use the "What links here" option under "toolbox" in the left side nav bar. The monster info I took from the crafting page.

I personally don't have an issue with the font size. It's the same standard font size as every other use of the SKWindow template, so if this is an issue it should be altered there.

I suppose it's about time that the Recipe Uses column was deleted. I've also noticed a lot of materials with descriptions which previously didn't, so that should be checked when copying information over.

Edit: I've edited the crafting entry template to link up the name of the material to its corresponding page. This should make finding pages to expand a bit quicker.

I'm going to edit in all the missing descriptions that exist in a moment.

I think fontwise a switch to "small" rather than "smaller" would be good. That can be tested out later after the crafting table is fixed up.

For folks doing materials

For folks doing materials pages I have made a table with the corrected star values and all known descriptions. Ignore the recipe column. http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Crafting/temp

Edit: I've also taken care of the materials whose names don't pluralize with an "S" at the end and needed special singular treatment.

Oh god. Everything just

Oh god. Everything just changed.

In addition to the armor art documented in the fantastically helpful release notes, I noticed:
- Many ingredients have new icons
- Recipes have been extensively revised (Nick says handguns and bombs. Seriously, these release notes are GREAT!)
- New ingredients have been added that did not exist before
- Item bonuses on some armor have changed (Crown of the fallen's fiend penalty is now moderate, not low)

So basically, we have 300 recipe pages and 50 (so far) ingredient pages that could be totally wrong now. (Plus an unknown number of new ingredient pages to add) Is it safe to start work on this, or should we expect more recipe tweaks soon?

In addition, monster loot

In addition, monster loot tables have been 'balanced', so it's assume some monster have gained and lost ingredients. Which means we'll probably have to re-verify everything all over again too.

All sword and gun recipes are

All sword and gun recipes are now correct. I'll do bombs tomorrow. New materials I've found so far: Rocket Sprocket, Hailstone, Torchstone, Spark of Life, Volt Oil, Frost Gel, Nightshade, Corrosive Acid. Also, weird bug, bomb recipes tell me I don't have enough Brimstone, even though I have >1000 of them. Other recipes requiring it don't have that issue.

Edit: Bomb recipes should now be up to date. I think I've also done icons for all the new materials that are appearing in weapon recipes.

Yea i already notified nick

Yea i already notified nick about the brimstone while he was sitting in haven, he "noted" it down.
Found some brimstone in the clockworks after the patch and it doesn't stack with the old brimstone so its most likely an item id bug.

I've "installed" the updated recipe columnless table onto the crafting page to make it easier to update with the new materials.

I'll go through the materials pages and make sure they have the correct recipes listed if the individual page for that material was already created. I wonder if other recipes will change, in which case it might be better to wait for that too.

I'm also considering subpages

I'm also considering subpages for the drop info (like brimstone/drop) which could then be transcluded to the material page and to the drop column on the crafting page. That way it only has to be updated in one location.
