| − | :Hmm, I don't think that's really necessary for small articles such as that, cause all that info can easily be gathered in-game, wowhead, or other database sites.

| − | ::Agreed, copying data from Wowhead (or wherever) hardly counts as original content and thus doesn't need attributing. This wouldn't be an excuse for not attributing if something substantial was created there, but the way I look at it, when I implement changes that were made on WoWWiki, 99% of such changes were made by people who didn't know the site had moved, so I'm helping them and the community out. --[[User:Bellocois|Bellocois]] ([[User talk:Bellocois|talk]]) 07:14, 20 November 2010 (UTC) |

| − | ::::The problem with blindly copying & pasting from wowwiki, is that wowwiki has a lot of incorrect information. [[Veteran of the Shifting Sands]] has already been updated from the wowwiki version (which even cited the wrong achievement name), and no longer needs wowwiki citing. Someone should add the Wowwiki cite template in "Things to do" so that pages citing wowwiki can be checked, corrected, and then the cite can be removed.

| − | ::::::Although I agree that the template should never be needed, I don't think we should toss it out just yet. This represents a good discussion, at the least, on attribution and how we go about taking content from other sources. Also... legalities aside, WoWWiki may be more inclined to not delete their "this is taken from Wowpedia" template as long as we can say that we have a "this is taken from WoWWiki" template. If we delete this template, we are possibly driving them into doing the same. Only difference is, they will continue to copy stuff, without attributing it, while we attempt to take the higher road. Lets keep this template (but don't use it!) for a little while longer. [[User:Ddcorkum|D.D. Corkum]] ([[User_talk:Ddcorkum|T]] / [[Special:Contributions/Ddcorkum|C]]) 15:25, 21 November 2010 (UTC) |

Revision as of 15:39, 21 November 2010
To reduce the size of the Alchemy/RecipeTable pages, this template permits one to replace four columns in each row with the following syntax:
|{{RecipeTable/Difficulty|10|20|30|40}} where 10, 20, 30, 40 would be the profession level at which a recipe becomes orange, yellow, green and grey respectively. The preceding vertical line is intended to be used, as this template will insert four cells into the current row of a wiki-table.
