Nice job, Caraamon, unfortunately my time to contribute to the wiki has been almost non-existent this year, thanks for picking up the torch on this ;)

I changed the redirect here since redirects on talk pages make it very confusing when you want to flip back and forth between the article and the talk, or at least it makes me very confused ;) --Farman 10:24, 19 April 2008 (CDT)

Notes

Is there a reason you removed the {{{notes}}} variable from the template? Legeres was asking about this on the Form:Item talk page.--Naeya ^(talk) 09:40, 3 June 2008 (CDT)

Because it was causing some spacing issues and it occurred to me that that should be handled in the main body of the article. IMO templates should handle COMMON conditions, and notes don't really fall under that. Otherwise I'll be forced to code up fields for eye worn thorns that spit unicorns.... -Caraamon Strugr-Makdasi^(talk) 14:06, 3 June 2008 (CDT)

okay did you want to throw in a field for items that have words on them or would you rather i just put those in with the look?--Legeres 23:35, 3 June 2008 (CDT)

I've just been putting them in italics in the look. -Caraamon Strugr-Makdasi^(talk) 02:53, 4 June 2008 (CDT)

Alright then. How about I include the "free text" field in the item form (it's not in the template, just extra text in the article. It's totally optional and doesn't use the template at all.--Naeya ^(talk) 08:49, 4 June 2008 (CDT)

Whatever ya like, I'm just tired of seeing the notes section "abused" for a variety of stuff. :P -Caraamon Strugr-Makdasi^(talk) 13:00, 4 June 2008 (CDT)
