Seems to me a tabular form would be far, far more useful here. I dont know if i'll finish but i will start making one on this page - if it does get done it should include everything from the other page and can just replace it. Wikilinks will be added en masse at the end. Sell price is simply half the value so does not require a separate field.

:Changed wikitable to {{t|prettytable}}. Are you planning to make tables for each section? If not, perhaps a "Type" field could be added to track what are currently in headings (e.g. Axes, Knives, Staves, etc.). Also, we'll be losing the automatic anchor that the weapon headings provide, so if individual weapons are widely linked to throughout the guide, you might consider manually adding anchors (<nowiki><span id="</nowiki>''Weapon name''">''Weapon name''<nowiki></span></nowiki>). This isn't much of an issue if you're making separate tables for each weapon type, as the section can be linked to instead. — [[User:Najzere|<span style="color:#909090">najzere</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Najzere|<span style="color:#993300">T</span>]]</sup> 23:00, 17 December 2009 (UTC) | :Changed wikitable to {{t|prettytable}}.

Table form[edit]
Seems to me a tabular form would be far, far more useful here. I dont know if i'll finish but i will start making one on this page - if it does get done it should include everything from the other page and can just replace it. Wikilinks will be added en masse at the end. Sell price is simply half the value so does not require a separate field. Jdorje 22:50, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
- Changed wikitable to {{prettytable}}. Are you planning to make tables for each section? If not, perhaps a "Type" field could be added to track what are currently in headings (e.g. Axes, Knives, Staves, etc.). Also, we'll be losing the automatic anchor that the weapon headings provide, so if individual weapons are widely linked to throughout the guide, you might consider manually adding anchors (<span id="Weapon name">Weapon name</span>). This isn't much of an issue if you're making separate tables for each weapon type, as the section can be linked to instead. — najzereT 23:00, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
