what a horrible property name.--Relyk ~ talk < 09:53, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

Wrong numeration[edit]

Two mistakes I've noticed:

  • Torch should be 8, Shield should be 9, and Warhorn should be 10.
  • Harpoon gun should be 17, and Spear should be 18.

I agree that the current enumeration is wrong, however I don't quite agree for Torch/Shield/Warhorn. Are we doing this by category (1h/offhand/2h/underwater) and then A-Z?:
  1. Axe
  2. Dagger
  3. Mace
  4. Pistol
  5. Scepter
  6. Sword
    ----
  7. Focus
  8. Shield (previous 10)
  9. Torch (previous 9)
  10. Warhorn (previous 8)
    ----
  11. Greatsword
  12. Hammer
  13. Longbow
  14. Rifle
  15. Short bow
  16. Staff
    ----
  17. Harpoon gun (previous 18)
  18. Spear (previous 17)
  19. Trident (previous 19)
Easy to change once we agree though. -Chieftain AlexUser Chieftain Alex sig.png 18:05, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
Oh yeah, my bad there, it's Focus / Shield / Torch / Warhorn. Didn't notice that one was wrong too, derp.
Also, aquabreathers feel weird where they are now. I would leave them between boots and back, like in the wardrobe. Something like this:
  1. Headgear
  2. Shoulders (previous 22)
  3. Chest (previous 23)
  4. Gloves (previous 24)
  5. Leggings (previous 25)
  6. Boots (previous 26)
  7. Aquatic headgear (previous 21)
  8. Back
Anyway, do mounts really belong here? Outfit info boxes don't use skin links either, only item link.--Lon-ami (talk) 18:40, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
Basically anything with a skin type I thought i'd add a number whilst i was here. Mount skins aren't technically skins but we can see them in the API, one day we might get around to documenting them. Anyway I've updated the property + infobox which sets it. -Chieftain AlexUser Chieftain Alex sig.png 21:48, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
Gliders and mounts are already at the API as items, but they don't have a "skin", at least not one we can link to (and if there is one, we don't have access to it). All previews are done from the item. By the way, Property:Has skin type contains gliders too (between outfit and mounts), so I guess it should be added here as well for cohesion. Let's hope they add skins for them some day, to make preview easier.
Speaking of which, might not be the best place, but I've noticed we don't actually have "skin" pages for the outfits, only for the items. Outfit skins do have their own separate links, which are used in the wardrobe. An example: Ancestral Outfit, item link: , skin link: . Considering each outfit skin is only used by a single outfit item, skin pages might be redundant, so maybe just a new field in the infobox would do it? I feel like it should be somewhere, since using /wiki with the skin links redirects you here Chat link format/0x0B codes instead.--Lon-ami (talk) 23:10, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
