Difference between revisions of "Talk:Head Slot"

Ceruleus, I simply do not understand the need to restore an incomplete and inaccurate list to this page. It already linked to the two pages dealing with the complete and accurate list - links which you removed...

I fail to see how this helps anybody search for headslot items!

One solution would be to copy those two lists to this page, but that type of redundancy goes against one of the main purposes of a wiki. Or perhaps the links could be made somewhat more obvious. Take your pick.

Bomb Bloke, you simply did not state that the list was incomplete or inaccurate when you removed the list. Summarizing your edit as "Snip. Snip. Snip." is a waste of your time and mine. If you would have included the actual reason for the deletion, I would have created a complete list.

It it my opinion that a listing of items that occupy each equipment slot is fundamental to the individual equipment slot pages. What is the point of two incomplete lists? Wiki is Hawaiian for quick; opening two pages to see all of my choices for a single equipment slot can in no way be considered wiki. We're not printing these pages on paper, so I don't see why you insist on removing germane information, i.e., relevant and appropriate.

As neither of your linked to lists are complete, I pick restoring and completeing said list. In the future, you might want to simply flag any incomplete or inaccurate list as such, rather than deleting them; maybe someone else will complete and correct the list, which is the essence of wiki, too.

The list helped me search for an item that fit in my head slot from all of the vendors in Luna on my shard via a popular third-party web site, as I cannot recall, on my own, all of the various names of all of the items that fit the headslot. Come on, man, work with me not against me. What does an extra 100Kb matter? --Ceruleus 01:01, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

P.S. The two lists of which you speak cannot be seen on a single screen. The list I plan to post will not be a colored table with an image of each item. Therefore, I plan on emphasizing the links to the two lists, as well. I pick both. --Ceruleus 01:12, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Not sure how to format talk pages.....For example I have no idea how to time stamp these comments. It's about 11:20pm eastern time, 25 March 2009.

Comparing the page as originally created to the page now, and the page as first edited by Bomb Bloke (the "snip snip snip" edit) reveals that the page as originally created is simply far more accurate, and the page as "snipped," and as currently stands, is rather useless.

First of all, the page as it stands now, and as originally "snipped" by Bomb Bloke, leaves out some of the most useful pieces in the head slot: Reading Glasses.

Secondly, it leaves out the orc headgear. This may not be important to some players, but the use of orc headgear is extremely important to people RolePlaying orcs, which have historically been a good-sized little community. Obviously it's less now, but even if it were zero it'd be an important part of the game's history.

Thirdly, it states that helms tend to not be medable....Yet if you click on the link to the helms page, the first few you see are leather helms, which are medable by definition. Also the mage armor property is so weirdly common that it's pretty easy to find medable metal helms.

I'm not editing the page at the moment. I may at some point, I guess, Be aware, though, that from my perspective as a user and as an occasional editor of pages, the page as originally created (February 2008) is far more useful than the current version (dated March 09). --Galen
