Talk:Items

Melee weapons?

This page feels a bit weird. The list of items displayed here either overlaps with the proper melee weapons page or it's actually about crafting components.

Maybe a new page with those components should be created, and transform this page into a hub to access the rest of item types. The first sections already work this way after all.

I've finally done so myself.

All melee weapons are now found in its own page. Moved the few (only one) that wasn't listed there. From now on, update that type of weapons there.

Created a components page, which tracks all items, weapons, etc used as components for ANY recipe (crafting, construction, vehicle construction).

Changed this page so it now only lists those items that aren't listed anywhere else.

Hopefully, all this will make this whole category cleaner and easier to understand and update.

Names of item pages.

When making a new item page, please use the ingame name of the item. The 'name' field of the json file. That way anything that generates data based on the json files can easily link to the correct page. This also means that for example, links back from the itembrowser can link to these pages. If we follow this standard there will be less errors. Yes, this means there will be a little bit of work when items get renamed ingame and pages will need to be moved. But we can do that. --Soyweiser (talk) 14:31, 15 January 2018 (MST)
