Aldyron for Admin
I think you should become an admin (DDO_wiki:Administrators). I have started the process here. If you agree, please say it there.--Cru121 (Contributions • Message) 11:10, November 11, 2013 (EST)

Diagnostics listed as an item

 * Aldyron, I hope you dont mind me offering my help. The problem here is related to some of the templates used on item pages not wrapping their category injection.
 * This "category bleed" from transcluding pages is a hold over from before there was an item namespace, and as not all templates have been refactored, any page which transcludes an old template will be subject to some category bleed.
 * The "trinket" culprit I tracked down to the Template:Consumable. I updated it to only inject categories for "item" namespace pages that use the template.
 * (That template is in need of more than just fixing category bleed though.)
 * I'll work on fixing category bleed in templates based on what I find in your Item consistency page.

 * Okay, I've done some updates, and reached a point where I've hit a road block.
 * Template:Named_Jewelry is injecting categories without checking for item namespace, so your page is getting put in to 'Finger Items'
 * I dont have required security clearance to edit that template, so I figure it's time for me to take a break.
 * If you wish to continue my work, The section near the end (between the includeonly tags) needs to be peeled out and put inside an "if namespace == item" block.
 * If not, I'll maybe add a note on the template discussion page ( I'm pretty sure I can edit protected templates' discussion pages ).
 * Thanks for the well holiday wishes, and a happy holiday to you!

eCasual monster CR
Regarding http://ddowiki.com/index.php?title=Template:Infobox-monster&curid=4176&diff=205633&oldid=185901: I think I remember someone saying that normal CR = casual CR always. Not sure if it's true.--Cru121 (Contributions • Message) 10:25, December 16, 2013 (EST)

Item Namespace

 * Pardon the delay in responding, I've become less active since it seems any changes / progress I try to make just gets reversed.
 * As far as where Belt should land according to my proposed policy, it would not be in the item namespace.
 * That page is more of a description of what qualifies as a belt, not an item per se.
 * I think what would work best for the wiki is a hard rule where only items that can be placed in inventory deserve a page in the item namespace.
 * That would make it CLEAR what belongs there and what does not.
 * Belt would live in main namespace, and can be transcluded to the Category:Waist_items. ( I should say I don't like the name "waist items" for that category, I think it should be "belts".
 * Potions I think the same, but since it currently lists various potions and prices, I think a refactor may be in order. The category page for Potions can list the potions, and if potion item pages are designed correctly, the DPL plug in can list prices.
 * Kargon's Tasty Ham should absolutely be in item namespace.
 * That being said, this is my opinion only. You may want to run it by Bladedge, he has his own ideas about where pages should live and how they should look ( completely disregarding inconsistencies in the wiki ).

Item list feedback

 * I was going to suggest something similar. I don't believe that the Chest, Is an Epic version of, Crafting, Crafting upgrade, and row number columns are necessary at all.
 * ( I'm referencing the replacement of content on item category group pages like Category:Waist_items )
 * Just my thoughts

 * the trinkets page (and perhaps other as well), when sorted by ML, is sorted alphabetically, and not None-2-3-4-...28. Other than that, awesome work. --Cru121 (Contributions • Message) 08:25, December 25, 2013 (EST)
