There have been grumblings of this for a while now, but we're aiming to re-work crafting in general on BGwiki. I feel one of the first steps should be to transition all synthesis recipes on the wiki to one template so that people can simply copy and paste from individual item pages to the main synthesis page and vice versa. It will decrease the upkeep and make it easier to update as things come out. As such we need a way to display the information that looks good on both type of pages.
Here are current template examples for comparison:
https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Leathercrafting
vs.
https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Lavalier
I crossed the two and make this their evolved forms:
https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Byrth_/_S...g_Example_Lite
(Pictures will show up on the real page.)
As far as the work required to implement, converting from the current main-page Recipe template to the future template can be done via a script (if the page is already templated, which some aren't) and none of the individual pages with recipes on them already will need to be edited at all. ...or so I'd like to believe. If you notice problems, please tell us about them by either posting in this thread or contacting us through some other means. I will be swapping the template in now and will switch the main crafting pages over as I have time for them.
PS. Barring ~60 characters that were added in the last few weeks , that template has existed for the last two months. I know some of you (Buffy, probably Funkzworkz) were waiting for this and I'm sorry for the delay. RL things were keeping me busy and the last issue was quite frustrating. I didn't want to go forward with a halfassed template that people couldn't get behind and couldn't figure out how to solve the final problem. Then along came a Yugl!
Known Issues:
* Recipes with HQ results are not perfectly vertically aligned (exactly two pixels off) because of the way I implemented HQ/NQ results. Hopefully I can figure out some way to fix this in the future.
