Hey, thought I'd drop a small note about this magic word. It's typically used for articles who titles are proper nouns, so that the article contents are automatically updated if the official name changes (e.g. Irendas Colony became Irendas Penal Colony a while ago). For non-proper nouns like crate there's no real benefit, and it makes editing a bit more clunky. Not a big deal, just thought I'd mention it. - Dashiva 22:04, 28 November 2007 (UTC)


 * -- The reason i did that was because of the differing outlooks on these items. Some people refer to them as crates, boxes, chests or other names.  If in the future it is changed the page should be fully complete with just changing the title and not having to search the entire document.  It will keep the consistency of pages if they can be seen as a volatile (stub) document.  I am a big fan of modularity which is why I changed it to this.  My outlook on it is "Change it once" (Not at every instance).  But we can not forget about server load and if the  Reference is a very large "O" then I'd be glad to keep away from it.  --KillerNoodle 22:20, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Templates
There aren't really any hurdles to jump with regard to templates, but I'm not completely sure what we'd use a (e.g.) grenade template for. Wouldn't it be more practical to gather them all on one page and use tables to list them? Similar to the various weapon pages. - Dashiva 22:23, 30 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I see what you mean by the weapons. I guess I was thinking that since all the grenades are all listed on the crafting page as having individual pages that a template should be made up. With the suggestion of a table usage it would probably be easier to redirect them all to a Grenade page.  However, the tables begin to look very messy with all the types listed together. See here Crafting as an example of how messy it is.  The page linked too also needs some sort of break-up (Crafting:Grenades, Crafting:Medpacks,....), everything on that one page makes it a very cluttered page.  Just a thought. - KillerNoodle 04:57, 1 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Yeah, the crafting page is a mess. Some parts need to be split out to separate pages, but it's not completely obvious which splits are the best. But regardless of that, we can still make excellent articles about the items themselves, even if we leave the recipe pages for later. One thing to decide is if it's acceptable with just Grenade and Med Pack, or if we need one page per grenade/pack type. - Dashiva 01:24, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
