Battledome Equipment articles

Some of the Battledome Equipment articles you created may not be notable enough to have their own article, or probably belong to a different article. Will be looking through your edits to make sure. It's good to see you are taking a large interest in this. --Jacob 22:48, 3 Jul 2007 (UTC)

I'm concerned about the number of articles which would be created if we do decided to accpet articles of this type. And HOW they will be presented. Until we have that, i think it would be best to stop creating them, so we can make a proper format. be sure to look at the Template talk:BattleItem as well.

I DO like the ferocity and dedication you are putting into these articles. I would just like to make sure it's done right. --Jacob 23:01, 3 Jul 2007 (UTC)

Thus far, the only reason i see for a Battledome Equipment article being notable is if it's used by someone in the Battledome or is given as a prize from a game or plot (like the Dai-scimitar article...i didn't know that's how it was received). Still, how these articles will be displayed is still needed to be decided...or if we should have them. Hoping for some more feedback from one of the other admins. :S Will be doing my part to make the "BattleItem" template better till then. --Jacob 00:06, 4 Jul 2007 (UTC)

The Neodex is not a database of items. Articles can be made denoting types of items and item collections, but not individual items. For example, we have articles on Motes and Snowballs, but not on individual snowballs or on individual motes. There is simply a ridiculously small amount of information to make every single Battledome item worthy of a page.

And please, also, use the show preview button. --Macbeth 02:13, 4 Jul 2007 (UTC)

Although we may be able to have an article for every Hidden Tower item, perhaps... But there I draw the line, unless there is otherwise something really major and significant about the item :¬). --Macbeth 02:16, 4 Jul 2007 (UTC)

Another admin has spoken. *bows* Now there is the matter of what Battledome Articles deserve and need creation. there is the Sword of Skardsen for one, which is a hidden tower weapon, and seen in a game, and used by many in the battledome, users and challengers. it's notability is present. but what of other ones? Do we create articles for those which come from the battledome? Where are very popular among users? Those which are seen a lot from different challengers? Perhaps the creation of such articles can be discussed in the community portal or something... *ponders*

On the new "BattleItem" template, I still would like to use it on the articles we do find notable, as i think it's nessesary to give a clear discription of what each Battledome Equipment can do. --Jacob 02:22, 4 Jul 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm... In a lot of cases, I think the information would fit better as prose, but... I mean, if you look at, say, Ravenous Monster, the offensive, defensive, and additional details of each of his weapons are displayed quite succinctly without breaking the prose of the article. Mind you, if you were to have an article dedicated to one of those items, and not just a character who happens to use them, I expect you would want more than just a bullet point, wouldn't you? Still, that structure, I think, should be retained for the 'collection' articles.

Perhaps a template for individual item articles, then... *sigh* I'll see what I can cook up, I suppose. --Macbeth 02:27, 4 Jul 2007 (UTC)

No no no! A template has already been created by this user, called Template:BattleItem. I've started a discussion there on how to improve it...didn't move forward on it yet because i wanted to hear feedback from others. --Jacob 05:43, 4 Jul 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, working on that template, is what I meant ;). --Macbeth 12:13, 4 Jul 2007 (UTC)

In my opinion, we should link individual weapons to the IDB instead (if required), unless we really have something more to write about compared to what they have on IDB. Otherwise, I have a feeling that we are just re-inventing the wheel... --SwordFire 16:12, 4 Jul 2007 (UTC)

Edit summary

Please make sure to use the edit sumary and write what it is you have done in each edit you make to articles. this helps editors understand the changes made and why they were made. --Jacob 22:48, 3 Jul 2007 (UTC)
