Category:Potions
You may want to hold off on categorising reagent potions as potions too -- Category:Reagent Potions is already a sub-category of potions. Also, if you're doing the updates manually and are finding it boring, Quietust has a bot that can probably do this faster if you provide him with a list of things that are potions. --Bagatelle 16:12, 10 November 2007 (CST)
I was doing that because I'm relatively new on KoL and get frustrated with trying to find things from the inventory categorizations. I saw that there was a Reagent sub-category, but unless you know that it's a Reagent potion, you would still not see it in the main Potion listing. Does that make any sense? I don't mind taking it off, but as a user I would find it useful and I don't really see any harm. But like I said -- I'm relatively new to all this.--Mamph 17:05, 10 November 2007 (CST)
- Items on the wiki are categorized by their specific listed type, not by where they may be listed in the inventory. Feel free to start a discussion at Discussion or Category talk:Potions. We tend to make large categorical changes on the wiki not by the desires of a single player, but of some sort of consensus of peoples. ;-) --JRSiebz (☎|§|‡) 18:49, 10 November 2007 (CST)
Sorry but if you go to the Category talk:Potions link there have been 4 comments made by people to the above (albeit dated ones). However if necessary I will go back and change all that. Or how should I proceed from here? --Mamph 19:21, 10 November 2007 (CST)
- You don't have to change anything back, because I already did it. (Wiki admins have a "rollback" option which acts like an "undo" but via a single click.) I wish I could tell you how to proceed from here, except what I already mentioned. The wiki stalemates a lot. Like someone brings up and idea, someone makes counterpoints, the originator says "well I never thought of that", then a bunch of alternatives get introduced, I come in and say something like "well, as long as we're consistent" , then everyone says "I dunno" or "doesn't matter to me", and then time goes by and we forget about it. Heh. Now replicate that over 2.5 years ;-). I don't know if this helps your original question or not, but you can make an educated guess of where an item will reside in your inventory based on its type and some of its characteristics. For the "Consumables" section , Food/Beverages (Fullness) and Booze (Drunkenness) are easy, Usable items which restore MP/HP or item which damage your Spleen are "Miscellaneous" in "Consumables". It's kind of obvious where each type of "equipment" reside. The "Miscellaneous" section is the trickiest one. Items usable in combat are in "(Mostly) Combat Items". Quest items and gift packages go in their appropriate sections. If a usable item grants an effect when it is used it is usually in (Mostly) Potions (Candy, Potions, etc.), if a usable item grants meat, items, or text (six packs, coin purses, wallets, briefcases, sunken chests, munchies pills, etc.) are in "Miscellaneous Items:" along with everything else that left (that is usually not usable). Hope that helps a little. I swear I've written that before, I could have sworn there was a page or section somewhere on the wiki that described the inventory and its sections. Or maybe creating/finding that is our compromised solution. ;-) --JRSiebz (☎|§|‡) 00:03, 11 November 2007 (CST)
Tuxedo Shirt
- your edits to tuxedo shirt are possibly a good thing, but not the way things are currently done. if you want things changed, start a discussion, maybe, or set up a proposed standard. good luck. --Evilkolbot 21:21, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
