Historical/Obsolete Items
So, these still show up in end-rewards, and occasionally drop in chests (and are found in green Ingredients bags), but are 100% useless. I had wanted to add a Template:History to the top, but found none that fit ~exactly~ (and also found the syntax to code a new one too dense to parse, sorry). I chose History:Component b/c it was ~almost~ the right text - "This page is about material component that no longer is useds* in-game" - it's a crafting component, but same diff. (Note that my choice said nothing about "can no longer get/no longer drops"). What is needed then, I gather, is a new variation in the Template:History? "...Obsolete Item that no longer has a use* in-game" - something loosely defined like that?
 * (* Note - The syntax of the current template forces "This is about a that no longer s in the game", adding an "s" to whatever verb structure is chosen. It fails w/ the verb structure "is used" (and would w/ "has a use", too). Since the verb has to be added manually anyway, maybe take that auto-complete part out, and trust that future editors can conjugate a verb properly? We can move this tangent to that Talk page if needed.)

This group of "mystical X" items is not alone in falling under this intentionally broad category of "obsolescence", esp as various crafting systems/etc. get reworked (e.g the various crests of Unraveling Enchantments, etc.). &rArr; C-Hound (Contribs • Message • Email ) 16:16, July 18, 2019 (EDT)

 * Eh... tried it, don't like it. Seems too much what it is - patchwork, stopgap, jury rigged - cheesy. There should(?) be a way to add to the syntax of the base template to specifically add that sort of category. Maybe I'll have to stare at it more harshly. &rArr; C-Hound (Contribs • Message • Email ) 20:37, July 19, 2019 (EDT)
