Talk:Anointed Cold Iron Weapon

Table template
I'm working on the following table, please feel free to add your observations. Values can be found by "hovering" the weapon in your inventory (not while it is equipped, as more modifiers would apply). I'll publish it when it's complete: --HawkFest (Contributions • Message) 13:53, August 7, 2014 (EDT)
 * There is nothing special about Anointed Cold Iron Weapons. They have the same profile as a basic weapon with the addition of the damage type. Therefore, this table is unnecessary.&thinsp;&mdash;&thinsp;Zav&thinsp; (C&middot;T&middot;E) 18:22, August 7, 2014 (EDT)
 * Your "therefore" doesn't even consider an iota of a potential reader, therefore it's more than disputable, not to mention the evidence. Bah ok here's the evidence... The end goal of a good documentation isn't to compress the information as much as possible so that nothing gets repeated twice+, come on... This would be like targeting an end-reader who would be some search-bot reader, not a human being, therefore it's highly inefficient, inappropriate and of bad practice. The end goal of a documentation is to offer the most efficient and logical way for a reader to get to the pertinent information whatever the context of such consultation. Allowing the reader to have a rapid overview of main characteristics between weapons (or whatever such specific type of item), also serving as a comparison table instead of obliging your poor readers to browse pages after pages of similar information, is a much more efficient and comprehensible way to present any such information. Of course it contains the same data as this pile of pages you mention (excl. Cold Iron material), apart the fact those pages offer much more info than what's in the table. Which is why they are linked from within the table if you haven't noticed, in case the reader needs more details about this or that weapon..


 * And this, my friend, is a basic technique in designing sound reference documentation, amongst many others. TABLES, there's no table on this Wiki it's so ridiculous when considering all those places where a table instead of a myriad of pages would have suffice and make things more clear for your readers! What's even more weird, is the fact that you don't even seem to know about such simple and basic notion, in spite of the "All-Knowingly" tone you use in your reply (I tried to see something constructive but I couldn't) --HawkFest (Contributions • Message) 19:16, August 7, 2014 (EDT)
