Talk:Fused weapons (PvP)

"insufficient information to retain"

Really? Probably more than 80% of the old PvP rewards are undetailed, but you aren't in a hurry to delete those sections.

I made up some example pages for the PvP Super weapons and their ilk for when I might have time to come back to them after inputting the rest of the weapon skin data, but I guess I better fill out this list to save the page. SarielV 14:47, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

There. Looks lovely now, dunnit? Not a single red link or botched image. SarielV 15:54, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

Personally I think documenting removed pvp items (whose skins have been used elsewhere, unique skins fair enough) is a complete waste of time. True I didn't look at the creation date when I added the deletion tag, I arrived here from Special:WantedCategories (typically contains long forgotten pages) + figured there was no content. -Chieftain Alex 19:37, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

Well, it's my time to waste ;D (maybe it's your space). I'll admit there is likely a greater need to identify skins for weapons whose PvP names don't match, on the remote chance that some returning player, fresh off his two-year coma, wants to know what happened to his, say, PvP Plated Sniper Rifle. There are other applications for the data besides just these entries detailing them out. One I can come up with off the top of my head is querying the database for a full list of items based on ID number. I already do that with the API, and I've uncovered a few secrets along the way thanks to being able to see items in that structure. That method has significant gaps though, thanks to many items having never been found during the tenure of the API. That data can be found elsewhere, but no place is as convenient as here, where it arguably belongs. Even if the information is a bit redundant (like here and all its child pages), it eliminates gaps, which prevents other people from having to redo this work only to find out it's nothing stellar.

I'm hoping someone will take the skin ID info I input elsewhere and make some kind of checklist out of it. Some players want to be able to track their wardrobe outside of the game. I think it would be tedious, myself, but once again, there's an application for the data. SarielV 18:19, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Oh I thought about a checklist thing back when I made the Wardrobe subpages, except when I realised how slow the wiki was for anything that wasn't just a plaintext list of all the items, I gave up. -Chieftain Alex 19:19, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
