Updating all the Alchemy Paths with a single page

Basically, since we're getting a bit more equipment here and there and it seems as though it's being linked to previous equipment, I propose that we update all the Alchemy Tables like the Flourish Alchemy Page:

http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Flourish/alchemy_path

As you can see, it lists all the possible alchemy paths to the base, it's easier to add to pages and easier to add any changes to the alchemy paths (such as new ones) to the page.

How it works:

-To add an Alchemy Path, just go to [base]/alchemy_path, so an example is if I wanted to add a new Brandish Line, I would go to Brandish/alchemy_path, add it in, and bam! You're all done. You edited one page and you added it to 22 other pages. This not only saves time but is much more effective than editing out all those 22 pages to include the single alchemy path.

How to add it to the Alchemy:

-All you do is add {{:[base]/alchemy_path}} and you're done.

I've currently been updating a few with this format but I thought it'd be really great to finish the rest but I'm not sure if I should.

This is neat. I didn't know that you could include wiki code from other pages into a page. Constructing alchemy paths like this makes a lot of sense. The only drawback is that might confuse editors who aren't experts on MediaWiki. Hence a suggestion: There should be a comment in the Flourish code, explaining to users why the alchemy path code isn't actually there?

EDIT: Okay, so, I have gone and tested it with the Flourish Page with the no-include text. Basically, just include
<"!"-- To edit this alchemy path, please visit http://wiki.spiralknights.com/[base]/alchemy path. --> (without quotations)
to all Alchemy Paths. This means that this text is only viable to editors.
