Hi Eeepy, any particular reason why you have changed various item pages to now be non alphabetical? Just trying to understand your reasoning behind it. UltraMonk 07:57, December 12, 2010 (EST)
- Ah, I think you're referring to the unique items page. My logic was that if I want an item, I want to know where it came from, and if it's upgraded, what was it originally? I think I found a couple of missing items in the process of doing that, but I can see why it wouldn't make sense to someone else. Go ahead and change it back if you think it works better alphabetically :) --Eeepy 08:12, December 12, 2010 (EST)
- When I first compiled those pages I did start to do the method you have changed it to, but then I realized when you have items such as Chimera's Crown which is upgraded from Rusted Crown people might not know if it came from the Rusted Crown and therefore look under C for Chimera's Crown. Hence they would not find it there because it would be under Rusted Crown, so I thought alphabetically would be the best way to do it in the long run. Also in update 8 there are some new items that might be called W, X, Y or Z when upgraded, but the initial item might be called A, eg Stonedust Handwraps can become Maiming Stonedust Handwraps or Vampiric Stonedust Handwraps. I'm also astonished you managed to find some missing items (except items that might be from the last 2 updates) as I did go through the lists quite extensively to ensure that all items were listed and that they all had templates. Kudos to you for finding them. :-) Have no idea how I missed Shaagh's Helm! UltraMonk 08:25, December 12, 2010 (EST)
- I think I found one or two eternal wands, which is how I found the page in the first place, and also a couple of Dampened things, but as you say, they are from recent updates. I didn't add Shaagh's Helm to the page but I created the page itself, as it was on Wanted Pages. I'm not actually sure anyone keeps that helm anyway ;) Eeepy 23:26, December 12, 2010 (EST)
