Thread: What to do with Item Pages    

The item pages are coming along greatly, so instead of re-importing all the items to fix the formatting (which would remove all the hard work that's already been done with obtaining info/etc) we have to go page by page fixing the format up.

It's a lot of grunt work, but if people can even do 1-2 pages a day, it will help speed things up a lot.

Right now, to find pages that need to be modified, you can just pick an item category and scroll your way down. Once more work has been done, pages that still need to be modified can be found in the Semantics category.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~

Before we get started, if the page is using any images already, make sure they're named accordingly.

• Icons should be named "Item_Name_icon" and descriptions should be named "Item_Name_description". [/*:m:1a9xkqd4]
• If they are not, save the current images to your computer.[/*:m:1a9xkqd4]
• Edit the page to remove these lines:
  |icon=
  |action image=
  |description image=[/*:m:1a9xkqd4]
• Once the lines have been removed, the link in the page will be fixed, and you can re-upload the old image.[/*:m:1a9xkqd4]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~

Basically, right now each page looks something like this:

Code:

[[item number:=15982| ]][[item name:=Priest's Earring| ]][[item plural log name:=priest's earrings| ]]{{item|description=[[item description:=DEF:1 Latent effect: DEF:8]]
|type=[[item type:=Armor]]
|flags=[[item flags:=Not auctionable]], [[item flags:=Equippable]], [[item flags:=Not vendorable]], [[item flags:=Not sendable]], [[item flags:=Rare]], [[item flags:=Exclusive]]
|icon=[[item icon:=[[Image:item_15982_icon.png]]]]
|stack size=[[item stack size:=1]]
|singular log name=[[item singular log name:=priest's earring]]}}[[Category:Tagging]][[Category:Semantics]]{{armor
|races=All Races{{racially equippable by all}}
|slot=[[equipment slots:=L.ear]], [[equipment slots:=R.ear]]
|shield size=[[shield size:=0]]
|level=[[item level:=69]]
|jobs=All Jobs{{equippable by all}}}}

That's a huge mess. Basically, we need to remove all the semantic tags ([[something:=something]] and the {{equipabble stuff}})

So basically, the stuff in bold needs to be removed:

[[item number:=15982| ]][[item name:=Priest's Earring| ]][[item plural log name:=priest's earrings| ]]
{{item
|description=[[item description:=DEF:1 Latent effect: DEF:8]]
|type=[[item type:=Armor]]
|flags=[[item flags:=Not auctionable]], [[item flags:=Equippable]], [[item flags:=Not vendorable]], [[item flags:=Not sendable]], [[item flags:=Rare]], [[item flags:=Exclusive]]
|icon=[[item icon:=[[Image:item_15982_icon.png]]]]
|stack size=[[item stack size:=1]]
|singular log name=[[item singular log name:=Priest's Earring]]
}}
[[Category:Tagging]][[Category:Semantics]]
{{armor
|races=All Races{{racially equippable by all}}
|slot=[[equipment slots:=L.ear]], [[equipment slots:=R.ear]]
|shield size=[[shield size:=0]]
|level=[[item level:=69]]
|jobs=All Jobs{{equippable by all}}}} //careful not to delete all 4 }'s here

So once all that has been deleted, the end result should look like this:

Code:

{{item
|description=DEF:1 Latent effect: DEF:8
|type=Armor
|flags=Not auctionable, Equippable, Not vendorable, Not sendable, Rare, Exclusive
|stack size=1
|singular log name=Priest's Earring
}}
[[Category:Tagging]][[Category:Semantics]]
{{armor
|races=All Races
|slot=L.ear, R.ear
|shield size=0
|level=69
|jobs=All Jobs
}}

Once all the semantic tags have been cleaned up, there are a few more changes that need to be made:

• The singular log name needs to have the first letters capitalized.[/*:m:1a9xkqd4]
• For elemental resistance, the [[Image:Element-Icon.gif]] can be changed to just {{Element}}[/*:m:1a9xkqd4]
• If the item is not a shield, remove the |shield size= line[/*:m:1a9xkqd4]
• If the item is a ring or an earring, change L./R./ear/ring to just "Earrings" and "Rings"[/*:m:1a9xkqd4]
• If not included already, add [[Category:Item Type]], item type being the slot it's being used in, or what type of item it is, check here for list of item categories.[/*:m:1a9xkqd4]
• If the page is in need of images, or has the {{Need Image}} tag, please change it to or add the {{Item Image}} tag.[/*:m:1a9xkqd4]
• If the page is in need of "how to obtain" info, add the {{Item Info}} tag.[/*:m:1a9xkqd4]
• Once all the necessary changes are completed, remove the Tagging and Semantic categories.[/*:m:1a9xkqd4]
• http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...pics/new-1.jpgIf item info or images are missing, but the {{Item Info}} and {{Item Image}} tags are there, it's OK to remove the Tagging and Semantic categories.[/*:m:1a9xkqd4]

Once it's all said and done, the page looks like this:

Code:

{{Item Image}}{{Item Info}}
{{item
|description=DEF:1 Latent effect: DEF:8
|type=Armor
|flags=Not auctionable, Equippable, Not vendorable, Not sendable, Rare, Exclusive
|stack size=1
|singular log name=Priest's Earring
}}
{{armor
|races=All Races
|slot=Earrings
|level=69
|jobs=All Jobs
}}
[[Category:Earrings]]

Saw some people making changes, looking good so far, but I'm quoting this part because it's quite important and some of it was ignored.

I would say just inventory items, since all kinds of items can be used for synthesis even if they are used in some other fashion.

before I do anymore, did I do this correctly? Let me know pls

http://wiki.bluegartr.com/Category:Item_Info

Has a few templates available for use, but it's missing a few more templates :/

Item NPC/Item Monster are included though

Finished cleaning up Marksmanship including the ammo that is under that category, everything is down to just needed images/how to obtain info and tagged as such.

If noone gets to it first I'll be starting Archery on Wednesday-ish when I get back to work from vacation.

Now we need to get pictures of all of the item descriptions. :D

I'm still a bit sad that we removed the semantics completely. Figured keeping the stats linked to semantics would help in searches, and such.

Still no one has stated why we were getting rid of the awesome semantics feature... I figured the best part would be to search different properties of these items through the semantics and find and compare different armors and weapons. Remember when somepage was good?

I have something that I would like to do for stats, I just have to set aside time to do it. Need more time in the day.
