New Infobox for Items

Tonight, I've been working on a new infobox for items (weapons, armor, etc). I figure that a universal template would greatly benefit the cause of this website. To this end, I wanted to gather ideas about how effective this template works to disseminating information about particular items before I continue developing.

As an example, I've gone ahead and converted the page [[[Aegis of Grace]] on my own userpage using the template, which is still in development. So, honesty, which of the following pages looks better?

Aegis of Grace or User:Thadius856/Aegis of Grace

I'd like to continue developing this template for mass deployment, but would like to first get the nod from the site's administration. If you could please leave your thoughts regarding the template on my talk page, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thadius856 21:37, 13 September 2008 (PDT)

Replicas

Concerning these, to my understanding they're just copies of existing items (or items that have existed) - Sorta like the cursed versions of the Doom Artifacts. On this basis, I'm not sure we need to title them (or their images) as "replicas"... Might be better to just mention on the page text that replica versions are available.

Though I doubt we can trace back where the originals came from in most cases...

On a related note, would it be possible to avoid using unique image files for items with ambiguous appearances? For example, Pacify uses the exact same sprite as a standard Pike. I admit it's more of a gripe then a practical request but I've been wiping out tons of dupes recently... ;)
