Talk:Cooking ingredients

Formatting on this page is atrocious. Would anyone be willing to clean it up? I started, and got as far as the first two dishes, but didn't save because I figured it should all look about the same. If no one's willing, I guess it's fine the way it is. I was going to make a table for it, but it didn't look very good because the recipe and notes are too big, and make the table look ugly.

Also, the level req'd for use and skill level should either be centered or justified right. That would require quite a bit of formatting code to get that effect, unless someone knows how to do it better than I do. I may be able to work on it in what spare time I might find, but it's not likely anytime soon. Schmidt talk 03:34, 2 Nov 2005 (EST)

Let's see what I can do...
Testing some format ideas:

Baked Salmon (yields 1) - Cooking 275 - Level 45
 * Restores 2148 health over 30 sec
 * 1 Raw Whitescale Salmon (Fishing in Winterspring and Silithus)
 * 1 Soothing Spices

Well, that looks a bit better. I'm open to suggestions if you want it reformatted differently. I wrote a program to do the conversion, so as long as I keep it I should be able to do global changes pretty quickly if you have suggestions. -- Greenman 09:41, 2 Nov 2005 (EST)

This looks a whole lot better than before. If it's too much trouble, forget about it; but if it isn't, it'd be nice to have links to each of the locations, such as Winterspring and Silithus as in the case above. I could do this myself, but it might mess up your program, so I wasn't really wanting to. If it doesn't mess anything up, I could go ahead and do it.

Also, it might be worth something to categorize according to whether it's a fish or not (put each under a different heading). I'm not going to ask anymore of you, though. I don't want to push my luck. LOL. Thanks alot, Greenman. Schmidt talk 00:10, 3 Nov 2005 (EST)

Added the zone links as requested. Just had to get a good list of all the zones and clean up a bunch of typos in the raw data. I've also started making other link fixes here and there, as well as splitting the pages into 5 subsections. Feel free to edit away. --Greenman 10:46, 3 Nov 2005 (EST)

Sort by Levels?
How about this page re-organised by cooking skill required, rather than alphabetically? that may help the leveling process, but be detrimental to the quick-reference effect.

Perhaps a new page? Lwollert 06:48, 8 February 2007 (EST)

How about a table?
I created a table to dump all the info into. Since all the info on each recipe is covered elsewhere, it seemed redundant to list more than just the recipe, ingredients and skill level required. Everything should be linked properly now as well. --guttermonkey 00:21, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Update.
I've updated the list(s) of ingredients for Cataclysm and changed the layout. Ingredients are no longer sorted alphabetically, but by skill which is listed from orange to gray. In addition, ingredients are divided into sections which are "imported" from their own respective articles. Hopefully this'll make it easier to browse, along with avoiding any lag which might have been caused if all the ingredients were located directly on this article.

As some may notice, this article is now very similar to the Cooking recipes-article which I've also updated in the same manner. Both articles use the same data in the same order, and thus it should be simple to compare recipes with ingredients for whatever reason. WrathOfDeathfrost (talk) 17:59, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
