On your Orb of Transmutation edit

I like your work on the page, but I disagree about deleting the table in favour of a suggestion for what new players should do with their transmutation orbs. It's a trade of pure data for a personal opinion. I know it was breaking the wikia's style sheet, but there are probably work-arounds in place. What was the reason for the massive delete? Are you working on a more aesthetically pleasing table in the meantime? Hartlock (talk) 19:36, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

There were three reasons. The first is that a proper implementation would involve a transclusion -- a reference to a single location of data. This would avoid the issue of having to maintain multiple pages with the same data. The second is that the crafting data is already available on the master's individual pages. This was the reason why a similar list for Orb of Alchemy was removed. See that page's talk for some discussion about this. Lastly, the table is unwieldy and yes, violates most wiki style conventions. TheMipchunk (talk) 20:08, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

Oh I see. I didn't know there had already been a discussion on it. Sorry for the intrusion! Hartlock (talk) 20:33, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

Unarmed

Nice work on creating the Unarmed article. Kudos! —Vini (t|c) 17:00, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

Master unique price template

I noticed you recently created Template:MasterUniquePrice and are using it to write out a single sentence on various pages. There's no reason you can't use a template to do this, but it would be more appropriate to substitute it in this case. —Vini (t|c) 02:49, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

I am reading about this now. I will see what I can do. Edit: After reading about substitutions, this is not exactly what I would want to do. I am still debating how I want to phrase the sentence that any level 8 master can offer the unique. I'm not sure whether I want to clarify, for example, that the offer refreshes upon leveling and doing a master daily. I would prefer that I have the flexibility to then retroactively change all the sentences I have written on all the unique item pages. TheMipchunk (talk) 02:59, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

On removing 'requires meelee weapon' from Reckoning

Why did you remove my comment? It indeed requires meelee weapon in order to work. I received this information from GGG support --HOMOPROGRAMMATIS (talk) 14:53, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

I don't know about in the most recent patch (2.2.0), but in the previous patch (2.1) Reckoning also worked while unarmed (e.g. with Facebreaker), as long as you carried a shield to block. TheMipchunk (talk) 20:21, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
