= Update = Links update planning :

I intend to have the pages setup as following : 05:46, 17 January 2007 (EST)
 * Split the resist pages, as shown above. into 5 resistances for each armor type
 * Update the Template:Equipment
 * add icons
 * remove the class pages for resistances (theyre empty anyway)
 * Use tables for all pages, as shown on Resistance equipment (leather armor)
 * I can't say that the pages need a split right now. I especially dislike the table at the leather armor page. I just got finished cleaning up Resistance equipment (cloth armor), so maybe have a look at what you can take from that before beginning this venture.--Sky 04:30, 19 January 2007 (EST)


 * Lets look at a few things.

So, how could we improve these pages the best. imo splitting the sections would probably be a good first step, planning a better looking / easy to maintain table a second. 05:01, 19 January 2007 (EST)
 * it needs to be tabelized ( currently everything jumps left and right ). the leather page table is BIG i agree there. it can be improved.
 * there will be loads of new gear in outland, meaning the pages are going to grow a good bit bigger.
 * people generally only look for 1 type of resistance at a time. mostly for your own class's armor type

Lets make a start:

Example
note: the above values are fictional.


 * looks better. i think? 05:30, 19 January 2007 (EST)
 * Indeed it does. I still don't think it's quite what it needs to be. Why? "Drop" isn't very definitive, and just saying Ragnaros isn't very either. I actually posed the question to Kirk, I think it was, over IRC the other night about who and where it drops if it drops: He said list the mob, as well as the zone.
 * Also, instead of just straight up Crafted, it should be Tailoring, or Engineering. Oh, and the links to the outside sites shouldn't be used, imo. Oh, and use the template. :)
 * I'm still not sure about splitting the pages, though I understand your reasoning.--Sky 20:47, 19 January 2007 (EST)
 * One thing that I thought about at work: we don't need a + at the beginning of each item if we put the items in tables.--Sky 01:51, 20 January 2007 (EST)
 * True, and updated. Does look better some. only thing i'm not sure about is whether to use 100% width, let it loose, or set a fixed width.  04:16, 20 January 2007 (EST)
 * I still don't like the fact it says "Crafting" in it, but that's me. :D. It does point out that the item doesn't come from a mob (but there are a lot of crafted Resist items...). How about something like "C:Leatherworking" vs "D:Ragnaros - Molten Core"?
 * As to the width: I don't know. Too large (100%), and it doesn't look like the table has much in it. Fixing the table size/leaving it loose could leave the page itself looking empty. Those are my thoughts.--Sky 21:46, 20 January 2007 (EST)
 * Not setting a width will look bad. i set it to 100% for now, as some item names are "huge" while others are fairly small. ( thunderfury, sulfuras, )
 * Source i set to: "area" - "specific", meaning molten core - ragnaros, or profession - skill level, in some cases it'd be a quest name / link. 06:02, 22 January 2007 (EST)

If (read:when) you get around to this, this should be done to all the item lists that are floating around here, such as BC tanking equipment (paladin).--Sky 16:53, 30 January 2007 (EST)
 * yep, no disagreement there. though i hope i won't be the only person working on it :P i got plenty of little projects started, but lacking time to actually "seed" it all properly. Feedback is always welcome though ! 17:38, 30 January 2007 (EST)
