Proposal for Dropped Item Table[]
Since I think I've got my head around how to make a good table, and even though wiki people seem to think that putting everything into tables is a bad thing, I'm trying out a scheme to make it easier to see if a creature drops an item someone might be interested in.
I think I remember seeing something in PotRoast's archive that pointed to some way of using a database to get a running percentage on drops. I'm leaving those known next to the Items for now, but over time these should change. there are already plenty of Items that were received outside of the mentioned 50 battles.
I have the links running to the categories. They could later be changed to run to appropriate article pages. Like Death School Hats.
There is still a lot to clean here before the proposal is done. I'm still not sure about how many items to do at a time. It seems that each type will take up a lot of screen space. Should it be 2 or 3? Maybe only 1.
The Item and School breakdowns just look awful. I wouldn't go there. Since this is your puppy I'm not going to make any edits to the tables.
I'm liking Alternate 2. It seems shorter (which is what I think you were going for). It seems a little cluttered, though. Try separating Alternate 1. This will add some length, but should make it clearer. Separating Alternate 2 would create eight tables while Alternate 2 would create only three.
There is a width issue. How wide is the screen you're using? Some people are still using 800x600 screens and these wide tables might overstep that a bit. I just tried squeezing my Firefox window and the tables squished nicely so that may end that problem. Also, separating them as suggested might reduce the widths.
Have fun. RCWizard 19:08, January 28, 2010 (UTC)
Just noticed that Pets, Housing, and Treasure Cards aren't included - Are these going to be separate? As a table or plain text?
I tried a Biti Nirini/Sandox/Fultest. Seems the table makes the list slightly longer. Is it better to have it a bit longer if you can get more information out of it? I switched to the last method on the test. It's still slightly longer. The icon links are not final. Turducken 01:12, January 29, 2010 (UTC)
