Item Pages

Thanks for helping with item pages. When posting appraisal values, please include commas in values over 999. For example, 8,750 instead of 8750. --ISHARON (talk) 19:02, 6 May 2016 (CDT)

Sorry about that. I usually catch it, but I saw it already had a price and just skimmed over it. CRYPTODYNAMIC (talk) 19:55, 6 May 2016 (CDT)

458 vs the old 450 game prize page

Since the prize pool looks to be the same again for the HE games, I was just updating the old page (Hollow Eve Festival 450/Game prizes). I see you've created a new page for the 458 event. I don't see an issue having a new page of course, but does this mean that every year going forward we'll make a new game prize page, even if the prize pool is the same? I suspect we never made new ones for this and the darkbox loot (which is also the same this year) as part of the pattern of how we don't make a new shop page for each year a shop is out, simply each "version" of the shop. Thanks for any clarification you can offer on the thought process here. Kythryn 15:47, 8 November 2026 (CST)

Things have been stable enough that it probably makes sense to treat them like the Drogor Shrine or something like that, with a single page linked to from multiple festivals, and just gets updated when new stuff is added, or if we get GM confirmation stuff has been removed. I just noticed that we didn't seem to have anything linked from the 458 page itself to a list of prizes, and missed your work on the 450 one. --CRYPTODYNAMIC (talk) 15:57, 8 November 2026 (CST)

One nice thing about the new page is that is shows up on the top level Subpage section (Hollow Eve Festival 458), so there is a good reason to have the new page each year. I have never checked, but can REDIRECTS still show up as valid subpages? So for example in our case here, if we did a REDIRECT of the new 458 page you just made to the old 450 page, would that new page still show up in the Hollow Eve Festival 458 Subpage section? Anyhow, thanks for the clarification! And fingers crossed one of the GM's will realize how long the 2 big game prize pools have been going and give them some updates. One of the fun things about the Drogor shrine is all the new stuff each year, hopefully the mega-prize & darkbox pools will get some attention too. Kythryn 16:05, 8 November 2026 (CST)

Looks like it does not work as a redirect, sadly. --CRYPTODYNAMIC (talk) 16:10, 8 November 2026 (CST)

Worth a try. Can we force a link into that section I wonder, like how you can manually add locations to the Ranik Map template under the "relatedmaps" section? I do like the idea of having this page, and the darkbox prizes, show up there instead of having to click through the Shop page to find them. If not, thanks for your time here, I appreciate it.
