Talk:Wood

Now that we have a basically complete commodity page, is this the sort of style we want to model all the commodity pages after? I'd like to reach a general consensus before digging into the others. --Yaten 06:17, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * A few thoughts. I like the table at the top.  The "Use" list seems a bit unwieldy, but maybe wood, hemp, and iron will be exceptions.  The island lists should probably be made into columns, 1 column per ocean.  I'm concerned about listing the quantities for each item in the "Use" list.  Occcasionally, recipes change, and someone would have to edit the numbers here as well as on the page describing the item being made.  --Barrister 06:29, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * I think it looks good enough to model everything after. Also, Cobalt and Viridian should be separate after all. And I agree with Barrister, it might change, and we'll list it in the appropriate pages already. --VPeric


 * I wasn't sure about how to list Cobalt and Viridian -- I'd like to see Cobalt and Viridian island links that go to a disambiguation page (explaining that Cobalt and Viridian have the same geography). Also, does anyone have Ice commodity info?  I don't really have the ability to easily check all the islands by hand.  So, are we agreeing to eliminate the "use" section altogether on commodity pages, or just the amounts required?--Yaten 18:10, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Well, a sure yes to amounts. I guess listing "buildings" is enough, and you don't need to list each one. Also, saying swords is enough, not listing each one (dunno if you did this, just an example). As for the Cobalt/Viridian issue, we've already got them divided, through I guess we could do what you just mentioned. --VPeric

Okay, each of the commodity pages thus far (wood, stone, butterfly weed, and iron) has a slightly different formatting for the "Use" section. Which do we like best, before I continue with other commodity pages?


 * I like the iron one. I also think it's good to have the spawn locations first like that as that's the info people will most likely be looking for on the pages. --Guppymomma 02:14, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
