DDO wiki:Structure guidelines

Items by effect categorization
Item pages should be included in the  items categories if any of the following criteria is met.
 * Item is always generated with the enchantment (Persistent)
 * Item is sometimes generated with the enchantment (Random)
 * Item can sometimes be upgraded to an item that with the enchantment (Random + Upgrade)
 * Item can have a specific enchantment added as part of a customized crafting process (Crafted)
 * Item is generated without the enchantment, but can have the enchantment after an upgrade (Upgraded)
 * Of note: If the crafting or upgrade process creates a new item, the original item is not considered to meet this criteria
 * Epic crafting and Necropolis Silver Flame/Emerald Claw Nugget upgrades are treated as creating new items
 * Item is part of a single item recipe to create a new item that fits above criteria (Trade-in)

Exceptions / inconsistencies
 * (crafted) Nearly Finished crafting items ARE included in their potential item effect categories
 * (crafted) Dragontouched crafting, Greensteel crafting, Slaver's crafting, and possibly more(?) items ARE NOT included in their potential item effect categories
 * (random) All items that may be generated with the Mythic Boots enchantment ARE included in their potential item effect categories
 * (random) All items that may be generated with the Reaper Power Boost enchantment ARE NOT included in their potential item effect catergories
 * This is likely due to the fact that no logic has been built yet to include these associations
 * (trade-in) Item:Black_Dragon_Scale IS included in the potential item effect categories of the item created
 * (trade-in) Item:Kor Kaza Rune IS included in the potential item effect categories of the item created
 * (trade-in) Item:Shred of Tapestry IS NOT included in the potential item effect categories of the item created
 * (trade-in) Item:Hut Rune IS NOT included in the potential item effect categories of the item created
