Talk:Named thing templates

We currently have multiple "Named" things templates:
 * Template:Named Jewelry
 * Template:Named Clothing
 * Template:Named Weapon
 * Template:Named Ammunition
 * Template:Named Armor

As well as remnants of Unique and other templates..
 * Template:Unique Jewelry Had one use, fixed
 * Template:Unique armor new Redirected to Named armor Transferred all items over to Named Armor directly. &larr; ShoeMaker 17:48, June 1, 2011 (EDT)
 * Template:Unique weapon Had five uses, fixed
 * Template:Unique shield
 * Template:Unique armor sef326 not even used
 * Template:Quiver
 * Template:Eternal wand

Most of these multiple templates use different names to refer to the same things:
 * Base Value
 * cost
 * basevalue
 * Minimum Level
 * ml
 * minlevel
 * Durability
 * dur
 * durability

Well, you get the idea now.. Is there any reason we can't consolidate all of these templates into a single template? This would make all of the arguments universal, and in my opinion, easier to use.

Something like:

The template could do most of the rest of the heavy lifting. We have the parser functions to be able to have the template auto-categorize, auto-adjust table colors, auto-select what fields/rows are needed and ignore the rest. Might take me a couple days to make the template, and then probably take me a few weeks/month to go through and apply it to all of the items, but I think it would be worth it in the long run.. I will start the template today, and when I complete it, I will link it on this page and ask for further opinions.. I may post from time to time in here to ask for development suggestions and ideas if I hit a roadblock..
