:::I would be concerned that merging the pages might make the issue too confusing for people who were specifically seeking recipes. However, I do agree with you that without listing consumable items, the Items page is incomplete. And I suspect it's not just consumables that's missing from that page, although I don't know for sure. I think the purpose of a recipe item should appear on both the items page and the recipes page, with a link to the recipe page in place of such an item's "location". Again, it just seems annoying to have to look up a recipe on one page, and then navigate to another to find its purpose. If I had a list of ingredients in such quantities that I could only make one out of a selection of items, I'd want to know what my options are in order to decide which recipe to follow.

Hmm...if say both the Items and Recipes page be merged, there will be a custom ToC that has sections for items, and crafted items (and perhaps one section for ingredient items). For the items, it will be a table similar to [[Bomb_Jack/Getting_Started#Enemies]], but with the sub-tables inside the "Description" entry have the ability to show or hide table. | |||
That way users who just want to know the items' abilities have the option of seeing the recipes. Users who just want recipes, the friction of trying to find specific info will be reduced with the use of custom ToCs (both crafted items and ingredient items, the latter if implemented)...and it will differ from just scrolling up and down (or using the Find function) to find the info users wanted. It's a tricky problem to figure out (but a pretty fun one), what do you think {{user|Procyon}}? --[[User:RAP|RAP]] ([[User talk:RAP|talk]]) 01:53, 19 September 2014 (UTC) | |||
