Template talk:Item infobox

Remove "descriptions"
This parameter has always confused me. At first I believed it was meant for visually impaired readers, but that's certainly not it since this is the only infobox to feature this option. The guide in the template page is very vague about what it's for ("description: describe the item / for various items" What does that mean?). It has come to be interpreted as "visual description", which reminds me of those "eye color"/"hair color"/etc. parameters in fandom wiki character infoboxes, which just describe the image that's right above them. It also has an obvious limitation, since items can have different visual appearances in different games, and these are described in the body of the article anyway, so it just ends up being either useless or inconvenient.

This option at the moment feels like a worse version of alternative text, and I cannot see a better purpose for it, so I suggest removing it from this template.

Remove "description" from the template

 * Per proposal.

Keep "description" as part of the template

 * 1) 1JUST1: Against proposal. They are not simply a visual sight but are used to quickly explain their function so you can directly see their purpose in the game (see Super Note Block).
