A KoL Wiki:Established Standards/Item Pages
Item pages should be formatted as such, containing the following elements as needed, IN THE ORDER SHOWN HERE:
- The Basic Item Entry
- Other Information
Follow the link for information on coding and contents for each element.
The Basic Item Entry
Header
Using the correct header will also suppress the Table of Contents on the item page.
{{itemheader|image=lime.gif|item=lime}}
Description
Item descriptions are to be typed out fully, in normal text, one line under the header.
This is a lime. Like a lemon, it's shaped like a lemon. Unlike a lemon, it's a lime.
Basic Item Information
Follow the Kingdom's template for bolding, capitalization, and punctuation closely.
(Cooking ingredient)<br /> (Cocktailcrafting ingredient)<br /> Type: '''food'''<br /> Selling Price: '''60 Meat'''.
Note: The rest of our lime example is hypothetical, and does not reflect the true nature of the lime.
Enchantment
If the item's enchantment is not an effect, put the text here.
{{enchantment|enchantment=So-So Scurvy Resistance}}
If the item gives an effect, create a link to the effect's page.
{{enchantment|enchantment=Intrinsic Effect: [[Limey Accent]]}}
If the item gives element damage then use the element template (element must be capitalized)
{{element|Stench}}
Putting everything together, the Basic Item Entry looks like the following:
{{Itemheader|image=lime.gif|item=lime}}
This is a lime. Like a lemon, it's shaped like a lemon. Unlike a lemon, it's a lime.
(Cooking ingredient)<br />
(Cocktailcrafting ingredient)<br />
Type: '''food'''<br />
Selling Price: '''60 Meat'''.
{{enchantment|enchantment=So-So Scurvy Resistance<br />+1 {{element|Stench}}}}
which yields:
Template:Itemheader This is a lime. Like a lemon, it's shaped like a lemon. Unlike a lemon, it's a lime.
(Cooking ingredient)
(Cocktailcrafting ingredient)
Type: food
Selling Price: 60 Meat.
Other Information
We now move away from the copy of the Kingdom's item description. The following elements should be in the order described below:
Drop Location
The drop location header should read "Drop Location" if there is only one drop location, but should read "Drop Locations" if there is more than one.
==Drop Locations== *[[The Misspelled Cemetary]] *[[The Icy Peak]]
yields:
Drop Locations
Drop locations should have bullets next to them, since an item may drop from multiple locations. They should also be links to the appropriate location page.

Recipe
To enter the nifty icons into a table, use these templates:
Basic Recipe Types
Special skills
: {{pasta}}
: {{sauce}}
: {{advcocktail}}
: {{armorcraft}}
: {{supersmith}}
Other
- Note that you only insert crafting icons within the table in cases where multiple crafting skills are being utililized WITHIN THE SAME ROW. If all combinations within a row use the same skill, placing the icon on the far left is sufficient.
- Also keep in mind that on an actual item page, the item itself will not be a link; rather, the bracketing will serve to bold the name of the item within the recipe table.
When Consumed/Used
- For food and booze, use the header "When Consumed", for usable items, use "When Used".
- The food2 template may require some explanation. The three numbers after "food2|" control whether to show (1) or suppress (2) the three stat modification lines, as seen in this example:
==When Consumed==
{{food2|2|1|1|full=2|adv=2-5|mus=gain no|mys=lose 1-5|mox=gain 5-15|text=You eat the lime. Limetastic!}}
yields:
When Consumed
- The booze2 template works just like the food2 template.
{{booze2|2|1|2|text=You drink the lime. How'd you do that?|adv=3|mus=gain no|mys=gain 5-15|mox=gain no|drunk=3}}
yields:
Usable items require more formatting. Some items may be used from multiple places. Therefore, even when an item only has one method of use, always specify where it's being used from by putting down a (noncentered) bullet and use location, followed by a colon. Then, center and copy down all text and effects of the use, as it appears in the Kingdom.
==When Used==
*From inventory:
<center>
You use the lime, and it kicks your butt... from inside your stomach.
</center>
{{AcquireEffect|image=Beatenup.gif|effect=Beaten Up|duration=4}}
*In combat:
<center>You throw the lime at your opponent doing 83 Limetastic! damage.</center>
yields:
When Used
- From inventory:
You use the lime, and it kicks your butt... from inside your stomach.
 | You acquire an effect: Beaten Up (duration: 4 Adventures) |
- In combat:
Uses
This section differs from the when used section. It is just a list of links to items that are created with the lime as an ingredient.
==Uses== *[[Jarlsberg's key lime pie]] *[[Boris's key lime pie]] *[[Sneaky pete's key lime pie]]
yields:
Uses
Always put a bullet, and always link the item.
Notes
The notes section contains any information that doesn't fit into any of the above sections.
==Notes== *This lime variant does not exist.
yields:
Notes
- This lime variant does not exist.
Once again, always use a bullet, as more information may be added.
See Also
This section contains any links within the wiki that relate directly to the item, but don't fall into one of the above categories.
==See Also== *[[lime]]
yields:
See Also
As with almost every other section, use a bullet.
References
- A reference is incomplete unless it explains how it is a reference. Always explain your reference and add links for more information. If a song lyric is referenced, include the lyric. If a movie referenced, briefly describe the situation in the movie, etc. If a band/movie/album/game/book is mentioned in the reference link it up, preferably to Wikipedia. An unexplained and unlinked reference is useless to anyone but the author.
- Mention where the reference is located on the page, such as the item description, message when consumed, attack message, etc.
- Write references in complete sentences, using proper capitalization! Do not always say "is a reference to " or "refers to", for it gets repetitive. Feel free to mix it up using things like "is from", "alludes to", "is an allusion to", "is a play on", or some other synonym.
- Always start a reference with a bullet, as more references may be added. Italicize the names of movies, books, poems, albums, and video games. Some of these would be underlined, but web links get underlined, so it'd be moot. Song titles, lyics, and quotes should be enclosed in quotes. Song lyics and poem excerpts should have their lines separated by /s, such as "The farmer in the dell / The farmer in the dell / Hi-ho, the derry-o / The farmer in the dell". If the selecion needs to be uncommonly long, it can be enclosed in <blockquote></blockquote>, but this should not be used often.
==References== *In the description of this item , "watch out Manitoba!" alludes to the 2010 movie [[Wikipedia:Lime|''Attack of the Limes!'']], in which a giant radioactive lime annihilates the whole Canadian province of [[Wikipedia:Manitoba|Manitoba]]
yields:

- In the description of this item , "watch out Manitoba!" alludes to the 2010 movie Attack of the Limes!, in which a giant radioactive lime annihilates the whole Canadian province of Manitoba.
Zapping
==Zapping==
{{ZAP lime}}
yields:
Just include the item's zapping template, if applicable. It should already exist. If it doesn't, make it, rather than filling in the generic template.
Collection
==Collection== <collection>lime</collection>
yields:
- #: - 0
Powered by Museum 🏛️ (see more)
Any navigational templates that are not within their own section (such as zapping), should be included beneath the collection information with two lines of blank space separating them in the code.
{{Accordions}}
yields:
Categorization
Any categorization of the item pages should occur at the bottom of the wiki code, below the navigational templates. Each categorization should be on a separate line.
[[Category:Food]] [[Category:Accordions]]
