Crafting every item

I am working on a tally of what you need to craft one of every item for my own use, and I thought that maybe I should post it to the crafting page, similar to how the cooking page has a list of all ingredients needed to cook one of every recipe. I'd like to hear others' thoughts on this. Swagmaster (talk) 02:16, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

That sounds like a good idea! I don't really know what else to say to that :P - PointlessSerpent (talk) 14:47, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

I have a page in my user space like that: User:Margotbean/IngredientsShortList. It takes a full page, so I wouldn't want to add it to the crafting page. A separate page, with a link on the main page would be a better solution. margotbean (talk) 21:03, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

Maps

The Railroad map on the Worm Bin page is in need of an update. --Unsigned comment by Gp54 (talk) 04:37, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

Skill Links

The skill links on this page are a bit inconsistent, as some of them go directly to the related pages and the others go to the corresponding section of the Skills page. I think it should be one or the other for the whole page but which one? Js Wizard (talk) 19:14, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

main pages because if you are crafting you don't care about professions at that point, you wanna know about what that skill is, the experience gain, etc. so it should all go to the main page (e.g. someone wants to craft Iridium band the combat requirement should link to [[Combat]] and not [[Skills#Combat]] imo Dubesor (talk) 19:28, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

If the links go to the appropriate section of Skills, then translators have an easier time translating them, since Skills is usually created before any of the individual skills pages are. margotbean (talk) 19:54, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Good point, and it is likely that Skills was created first in the English wiki too, so it would make sense for links to generally point to the first created content. Js Wizard (talk) 21:02, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

True but the sections in Skills do seem to contain the kind of information in which they would be most interested as well, namely how to level up in the skill and what the skill unlocks at each level. Professions are just part of the same table as the crafting unlocks, which is in both the sections of Skills and the main articles. Also, the extra information in the main articles seems to be more about the activities related to the skill and not specifically about experience and leveling up (which should be the focus for the crafting recipes). It does have some more specifics in some cases as far as amounts of experience and whatnot, but the sections in Skills do have links to the main articles so users can always use those if they want more information.
