Hah. And there was me putting it in the FFXIclopedia namespace to begin with (it was just a two-column table of names vs numbers). I had to divvy it up for loadspeed when I extended its function - there's 100-200 lines in each page's table now. Then, with those 200 separate pages, I thought they should all have a category, lest they be without category, which I understood was a wiki no-no. And hence the base page at Category:Item Index was born.

Subpages seems like the better option though, as now any of those pages come up in Search - a side-effect I hadn't anticipated.

I've been using "icon id" in Item Statistics, no probs. Do you think there's another use for that info inside that template that means renaming it would be appropriate? Making the AH link part of it..? (I know you've said before that you prefer it lower down the page!) Or are you thinking wider DPL functions that don't have to rely on Article/Item names?

As for duplicate icon images, I think they're a necessary evil - it has happened before that S-E have replaced a standard repeated icon with different ones. Granted, at this point in the game, it seems unlikely, but they may do something eg putting number on Storage Slip icons. We're set up to deal with that with a simple re-upload and no code changes. Also, at less than 1KB each, even all 21k of them only take up 28MB, so I can't see duplication causing any issues?

Thanks for solving my NavItemIndex issue for me; seems like that'd be the perfect solution, which I'll implement shortly!
