From time to time I've been searching for information about if I should sell that which piles up in the bank or save it for  [Libram of Focus] e.g. to give rep with reputation with Shen'dralar, when/if... I ever get around to do the  [Insane in the Membrane]. Then it annoyed me that I had to type every word of the items, some of which I didn't always remembered the name of, so I had to check twice, instead of it just being linked somehow. So, I was wondering, anyone think its a tremendous bad idea with the Elemental ingredients and Disenchanted items? Or think its a good idea, and/or have ideas for changes. --TherasTaneel (talk) 23:50, April 27, 2010 (UTC)

...What? I'm not entirely sure what it is you want to do. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 23:54, April 27, 2010 (UTC)
Add the templates which is the last two links in the text, sorry for not being clear Smiley.gif TherasTaneel (talk) 00:14, April 28, 2010 (UTC)
I went bold. As I find them useful, so must a few others. As a bonus it should make it easier to maintain and update to same high standard as some of the singled out articles were. TherasTaneel (talk) 20:14, April 28, 2010 (UTC)
Now I see what you meant, and I approve. I'm not sure why they weren't on there before, though. In fact, if the Disenchantable Items template wasn't used on enchanting mat pages, just what WAS it used for? -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 20:35, April 28, 2010 (UTC)
the Disenchantable Items template e.g. wasn't used because it didn't exist until last night, as goes for the other. Smiley.gif TherasTaneel (talk) 20:43, April 28, 2010 (UTC)

It seems that  [Brilliant Wizard Oil] cause error on the  [Large Brilliant Shard] page. And...  [Small Prismatic Shard] on the  [Large Prismatic Shard] e.g. Have yet been unable to fix it. TherasTaneel (talk) 21:13, April 28, 2010 (UTC)

I fixed the Small Prismatic Shard (it was using noinclude instead of onlyinclude), but I'm not sure where the error is in the Brilliant Wizard Oil yet. I'll keep looking. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 21:24, April 28, 2010 (UTC)
Found & fixed the Brilliant Wizard Oil issue. There was an extra ]. Resa1983 (talk) 21:29, April 28, 2010 (UTC)

Bah, another problem, if one wishes to view or edit the Disenchanted items it lead to Elemental ingredients. TherasTaneel (talk) 21:27, April 28, 2010 (UTC)

The Disenchanted items template had "name=elemental ingredient" at the top. I fixed it. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 21:31, April 28, 2010 (UTC)
/facepalm Thanks! TherasTaneel (talk) 21:32, April 28, 2010 (UTC)

I think that Boss Tokens, while related, are NOT elemental items:  [Primal Nether],  [Nether Vortex],  [Sunmote],  [Frozen Orb],  [Runed Orb],  [Crusader Orb],  [Primordial Saronite]. I think that they should be a class of themselves. I would not object to there being a footer template specifically for them, or even if such a template were included in the Elemental Items template. I just think that they are an entirely different sort of entity. --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 20:41, May 5, 2010 (UTC)

Alright, have a look at Template:Dungeon crafting mats for that. Feel free to make any adjustments or changes. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 20:49, May 5, 2010 (UTC)
While I'm a little hesitant about Fiery and lava cores, they certainly fulfill all the requirements in common with the rest, save that they're not strictly boss or end of dungeon/raid drops. I think there are a few more from ZG that qualify, but I'll have to look them up. --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 20:59, May 5, 2010 (UTC)
I'm going by the requirements of being a high-level (at the time) crafting material that is only found in dungeons and/or raids. I updated it with a few more items. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 21:05, May 5, 2010 (UTC)
While I'd originally considered only "looted off a boss" token items, you've captured the whole "have to go in this sort of dungeon to get it" essence. I think  [Ancient Lichen] also qualifies. --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 21:12, May 5, 2010 (UTC)
Eh, the article even says it can be harvested from high-level plant creatures. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 21:19, May 5, 2010 (UTC)
