    Obtaining Item Through HELM template?

    Good day,
    I'm trying to add more info to Seekers of Adoulin Item pages such as how to obtain them.

    Example: Lavarion

    Item obtainable through Mining in Moh Gates.

    Is there a template that already exists to display this information in a table?

    If not, I just created:
    Template:Item HELM Template
    and
    Template:Item HELM


    Can anyone please check Lavarion page and let me know if this is the proper way to do it?

    Best approach is to have the inputs appear as:
    Obtain type (HELM/Quest/etc)
    Where to obtain
    Name of Quest/HELM

    ex: Harvesting | HELM | Yorcia Wealds

    The primary reason is because we're trying to avoid the 98729274 tables issue. Keeping a single table with sortable information is better than 10 tables just because they're different methods to obtain the same item.

    As Yugl said above, the way our templates currently work, if an item is obtained by more than one method (for example, mog bonanza and some NM), there are two different tables you need to use, which creates two different tables on the page with two different "Obtaining Item" section headers, and it looks a mess. We need to merge it all into one template and standardize, but that's going to take some work.

    In this case there is only one way to obtain the item, other than AH

    Can you show me an example of this table?
    I don't see any template that has HELM built in for Item obtainment.

    -edit Adding stuff to Wiki is literally my full time job now. 60k a year to do this LOL

    We don't have one yet, but we planned to make a simple one. I can piece together a quick design.

    If you make that sortable, sure. No sort makes edits a bitch since you then have to structure the list.
