Allied Notes - Purchase items

I've added windurst items however something perplexed me about naming conventions.

Cobra Unit Hat vs Cobra Hat
Cobra Hat is what appears in autotrans, whereas the other is the actual item name.

So which should be the actual name used for linking and item creation?

*edit Cobra Hat is just one example of the many items*

i'm not an admin, but any new page i've created i use the auto-translator name, so that's probably what should be done with all of them. i have noticed that someone has been busy creating some redirect pages for actual names which is nice. (example if someone searches for hecatomb leggings, it will bring them to the hct. leggings page)

only problem i have with making new pages is the item number thing. i assume the item icons are going to be used somewhere in a list and that's why the number shouldn't be changed, but what do we use for item numbers when creating a new page?

My understanding is that you should use the autotrans name (which is also what it will appear as in a menu, and what you have to put in a macro to equip it) for the page title. Redirects for the full name would be helpful; just make a page with the full item name ("Cobra Unit Hat"), and have the only text be

#REDIRECT [[:Cobra Hat]]

I thiiiiiiiiink. If that doesn't work, try taking the : out of the link.

The : is for categories, I believe. So redirects would just be #REDIRECT: [[Page Name]]

Oh, okay! The only redirect I've ever done was for a category, and someone on IRC told me I had to add the :, as it didn't work without. Now I know! half the battle, etc.

I think that was me <.<

You have to add the : for a redirect to a caregory otherwise it will add the redirect page into the category page listing leading to a lot of confusion.

Can you use AN to buy items from another nation? As a member of San d'Oria past can I purchase AN items from Bastok, or do I need to change allegiance?
