Talk:List of items

The other RPG's Items
I made groups for Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga, and Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time. Now people just need to fill them in. Hopefully we can get the other RPG's items lists to look like the Paper Mario series lists. - User: Yoshi Mastar

Uh... the Waste Basket, which was used to dispose of items in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, should be mentioned somewhere here, right? I just don't know how.

Needs a home
These items need to be put in the general and specific lists for Super Mario RPG. I'd do it myself but I havn't played the game and don't know which is which. LETS GO PEOPLE! - User: Yoshi Mastar

About RPG Items [RESOLVED]
Volt Shroom. It's an item. It would fit very well in Category:Collectibles and Category:Power-Ups AND Category:RPG Items. See the problem?

So, here's my solution:

Make RPG Items into two categories.
 * RPG Items - Special (for things like the Crystal Stars)
 * RPG Items - General (for things like the Volt Shroom)

Thoughts?

 * Why not just add them all in those Categories? What's wrong with simply having a stuffed section?


 * Well, nothing is really wrong about it, I'm just anal about this kind of thing. It makes sense to me that an object would have a specific classification and a few other non-specific ones. Ya know, a Mushroom is a fungus, but it's also a parasite and a plant. -- Ghost Jam 12:39, 22 April 2006 (EDT)


 * Still, though, it's not a bad idea. But what exactly classifies an item as 'special' or 'general?' Plus, you know, someone'd have to go through each item and manually sort them. Would take awhile to do. --DarkInsanity (talk)


 * Well, I was going to set it up similar to how I did the first time. I originally had a category called Special for all of the important story items. I realized that these items are only seen in RPGs, so the category became RPG Items. As for deciding which goes where, story items would be Special (such as Blimp Ticket and Puni Orb) and normal items would be General (such as Volt Shroom and Boo's Sheet). As far as the work goes, I can do that myself, I just wanted the community OK first.

 * If you're cool with doing most it, go for it! *gives two thumbs-up* Just don't get mad when other people don't follow your example right away, as even for normal items many people don't even put any categories. Makes me sick! --DarkInsanity (talk)


 * Yeah, bugs me a bit too. I guess that's why we're here. [INSERT SUPERMAN PIC HERE]


 * I'm going to protect the items page temporarily while I'm performing the surgery.

Section Sorting
As a list, I would think that our sections for this article should be arranged in alphabetical order or game order (for example, power-ups would come before Super Mario RPG items as power-ups were introduced before Super Mario RPG items). What do the compilers think? --Stumpers

Question
Why is the sections listed by games and then even in those Sections the items listed say the game title Example:

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Items

 * Boo's Sheet – Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door


 * That's a bit superflous, true. The sorting on the whole page is a bit confusing. Should we use an alphabetical list like on Characters? - 12:26, 3 September 2007 (EDT)
 * I think that'd be a good idea, I'd be willing to do it.
