General Discussion

The admins have been discussing the matter, and yes, removing the current images is the current plan. However, there's actually a lot of aspects about the Notice Templates that could use smoothing out (widths, some colours, the raw coding, the how-to stuff), so we're planning to do a maintenance sweep after the {{Empty}} TPP is over. Please don't make any more template-related proposals in the meantime.
 
Good to know, I won't. If it happens to be on the drawing board, I'm certainly not against giving templates some way of standing out, I just don't think images are a good way of doing it.

I'd help with the category stuff, but I'm preoccupied with completing challenges in order to have images. Speaking of, does someone happen to know anyone that's completed the really hard challenges and can upload them to the wiki?

Well, looky here.

It's really a shame that the images you uploaded are all in .jpg. >_>

Okay, I guess this is how it goes.

Can I say that our articles of recipes by ingredients (Tayce T, Zess T, and Saffron and Dyllis) are really badly-formatted? They're a monstrosity of headers that don't need to be there (unlike, say, Tayce T's recipe page, which is basically golden, and Saffron and Dyllis' recipe page, which could have a spruced-up intro but is otherwise fantastic), don't have any images for the "mixed with" items (unlike the non-ingredient-sorted pages), have the world's most flowery intros (unlike the non-ingredient-sorted pages), have quite a few awkward spaces with the word "nothing" (unlike the non-ingredient-sorted pages), and are kind of redundant when we have things like Ctrl + F and other, better-structured, recipe articles. Granted, Zess T isn't exactly complete, but its end result would still be better. Am I off-base here?
 
The "nothing"s are unavoidable given that "mixed with" is the column header (whereas going the other way, "ingredients" could have one or two entries, hence there's no need for "nothing"s there). But yeah, updating the table formatting and rewriting the intros both sound like good ideas.
 
Is there really a point in updating them, though? As I said, their role is basically fulfilled by the other recipe articles, and I don't really see a benefit to separating the recipes by ingredient, especially since this results in nearly every recipe being repeated on the page and I, as a gamer, would much rather look for which recipes I should go for rather than seeing if a single item I have has any combos (say that I want a Life Shroom; it'd be more useful if I saw which items were needed to make it, rather than what items Life Shroom could be combined to or having those items needed to make it scattered across a bunch of boxes). I feel like I'm missing something obvious, but to me, I don't see why we should keep them.
 
In fact, each item already lists what it can be combined with, and anyone looking for combos with a specific item, for whatever reason, would almost certainly go to that specifc item's page, making the "recipes by ingredient" pages doubly repetitive.
