Wiki Pages for Items

Post by adonojah »

Most of the pages for the beasts in the Beastiary category have an Item Drops section (example here).

Is it OK to create pages for the items themselves containing just their examine info?

Examine for Sharp Dagger:
Item: Sharp Dagger (Dagger)
The iron dagger is about a foot in length. It is made well and
has a sharp edge.
This item is a One Handed Weapon. Invoke via the Wield command or Wave command
This weapon is a Piercing weapon. It is classified as a Dagger
The weapon has an offense add rating of Weak and hits for
1-3+1 damage.
Offense modifier None Defense Modifier None
Fire Resist Mod None Cold Resist Mod None
Electric Res Mod None Poison Res Mod None
Entangle Res Mod None
Armor Class Modifier None
Wiki page Sharp_Dagger may look something like

Alternate name:
Dagger

1-3+1

Weapon Group:
One Handed Weapon

Weapon Type:

Categories:
Items | Weapons | One Handed Weapons | Piercing Weapons | Daggers
Further notes
  • One Handed Weapons would be a subcategory of Weapons.
  • Weapons would be a subcategory of Items.
  • I used Weapon Group=One Handed Weapon because HELP WEAPONS describes four "groups: " ONE HANDED WEAPONS, TWO HANDED WEAPONS, MISSILE WEAPONS, and MARTIAL ARTS. Otherwise, I don't know what the header would be.
  • For Weapon Type=Piercing and Weapon Classification=Dagger, I wasn't sure what to use for the header/attribute name. I went with Type and Classification.

If it's basic info you can gain from examine then I don't see a problem. It does create a maintenance issue as they get stale though.
