Thank you for adding that icon. I did not know how to do it, but I like it. (And, the thank you is for all three pages.)

I have a question, though: should there be a disambiguation page for "Recipe:Charged Ambrite Orichalcum Ring" (and the other trinkets' recipe pages)? The in-game names for the items and/or recipes are a little difficult to get straight. Then, same question for the non-recipe pages. Daddicus (talk) 22:35, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

Aside from the Charged Ambrite Orichalcum Ring and Charged Ambrite Orichalcum Ring (Vigilant), which items are similar in name(s)? —Ventriloquist 23:48, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
In the trading post, I think the burl one is also called the same name. Perhaps I'm wrong? (I'm speaking of the recipes, not the items.) Daddicus (talk) 00:21, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
Only four items have 'Burl' in their name, and those are the following:

Recipe sheet exotic amulet.pngRecipe: Burl Orichalcum Earring
Recipe sheet exotic ring.pngRecipe: Burl Orichalcum Ring
Maguuma Burl.pngMaguuma Burl
I think these have a distinction enough amongst themselves? Or am I misunderstanding you? —Ventriloquist 00:24, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
I do a search in the trading post for recipes and exotic. The search is "charged ambrite". Two rings show up, with exactly the same name, but different prices. I now also see the burl one further down the list. Hovering over the 2c one, it says I already know it. But, hover over the other, and I don't, so I know they're different. But, they have exactly the same name. I see now that they're not the "burl" ones.
Now, search on the wiki for "recipe: charged ambrite orichalcum ring", and it brings you directly to the one with sinister stats. To get to the other two, you have to click one of the "see also" links (which I just added).
So, I'm wondering if there should be a disambiguation page or note, like many other pages with common names have. If it did, it probably doesn't need the see also list. Daddicus (talk) 05:54, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
Ah, I can see that now. In my opinion, the see also makes it clear enough where the other item is and what it's called - additionally, I think most readers just shift+click wiki their items from the inventory or Trading Post, which leads them to the correct item. —Ventriloquist 10:04, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
