 * backs quickly away from anything to do with fishing*

Yeah, I guess a lot (ie all) of the formatting issues are down to me then. When I've been creating new item articles, I've been screwing with the layout, in a way that's a) better for mobile view (and the issue of mobile style standards on the site overall will need to be addressed at some point...) and b) generally better for viewers.

For instance, I think it was User:Blue Donkey Kong who pioneered a few years ago the removal of unnecessary sub-headings for eg. items without a synthesis interaction. I've been trying to stick to the ethic of not having 'wasted space' on a page in following that through and prioritising standard info, such as the AH and Resale Price lines, which have over time now become more of a 'Statistics' element than a 'Obtain' and 'Use' elements respectively.

Further from this, what do you think about updating the AH template to be represented by a series of icons (with respective alt-text), than the line of text we have currently - eg AH/Not AH, Tradable/Not Tradable, Deliverable/Not Deliverable, Inscribable/Not Inscribable, Gobbiebox/Not Gobbiebox (basically covering all of the elements described in POL Viewer's 'tags' entry), with the AH location still reflected as it is now.

Lastly, I was totally unaware of the Item Statistics template until yesterday, so I've been updating articles I've created as I come to them with that. Apologies for not seeing that until now! I've been eschewing use of the Quest Item/Synthesis Item option lines in that, as the info is presented below quite quickly and I feel doesn't need to be highlighted in Item Statistics - let me know if you've a strong reason for wanting to include that info at that point! :)

Might it be worth collaborating on a revision to layout overall, starting with the Item pages, and creating an Editor's Guide for standard layouts with a full, comprehensive 'blank page' available for contributors of new pages to start from (rather than what I do currently which is to copy from an existing article and change details)?
