This discussion was drawn out of [[Forum:Recipe tables]], where the idea was put forward to identify what aspects of profession recipe/pattern/schematic tables could be standardised into a common look and feel. In the discussion below between [[User:Ddcorkum|D.D. Corkum]], [[User:Hans Kamp|Hans Kamp]] and [[User talk:Fandyllic|talk]], it was noted that subpages where the information for these tables is stored (and then transcluded from) are not named following the same convention. The aim of this forum thread is now to hilight this issue, and to decide upon and implement a common subpage naming scheme.

One thing that maybe could be standardised, without too much difficulty, is the naming scheme for transcludable pages. For example, (Alchemy/RecipeTable/Artisan) vs [[Inscription_recipes/Artisan]]. Renaming these pages to follow a more common pattern would not require changing the actual appearance of the content, and might make things easier in the long run.

:In the interest of advancing discussion, I am putting together a table describing how recipes are transcluded for each trade profession.

:::I notice that Alchemy omits the space in Grand Master (I bet if you look at the edit logs, its my fault from 2 years ago, lol). Otherwise, it is very similar to Inscription except the use of "../RecipeTable/". One big difference I see, comparing Alchemy to Tailoring, is that in Alchemy only the tables are transcluded and in Tailoring the discussion on a particular skill level is transcluded also. Alchemy also includes a page dedicated to each level which also transcludes the same table, but the text can vary.

::If you take a look at [[Alchemy recipes#Grand Master]] you will see that the approach for alchemy has changed recently. Now the page [[Alchemy grand master recipes]] is treated as the "main page" to the article and it includes both the transcluded table as well as plenty of other information (ultimately as a result of merging two pages that previously existed). For alchemy, the slash format is still used to hold the table that is transcluded to both pages with ajax (partly this arose as a result of merging pages togther). On the flip side, I do like how you are doing it with tailoring. This is definitely a discussion to be had. (by the way, happy new year everyone! I'm back from the holidays :) [[User:Ddcorkum|D.D.

:::Huh. Guess I did have a hand in the tailoring pages. It's ... been a while since I did that. And longer since the engineering pages have been updated, but I'm getting them up to snuff. Slowly.

::::I don't like the idea of moving all the tables to the template namespace, unless the data in the table is being automatically pulled from meta-data on content pages (refer to [[Forum:Recipe tables]] for my demonstration of how that can be done). If we don't follow the meta-data approach then my opinion is that the tables belong in the main namespace, since there is actual information being plugged into them. They are not just a list of recipes, but rather a comprehensive source of information (in their current state). This makes them different, in my view, than something like a list of quests (which has only the names of the quests, not extra details about them).

I do not believe these have (yet) been maintained. But then, what do they add for a user that the recipe pages do not? (Not a rhetorical question. Is there anything on them that should be preserved?) From what I currently know, I would not be sorry to see the lot of them removed. --[[User:Eirik Ratcatcher|Eirik Ratcatcher]] ([[User talk:Eirik Ratcatcher|talk]]) 21:05, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

== Standards proposal ==

−

=== Consensus standard ===

−

(none yet - modify as appropriate)

−

=== Eirik proposal (existing standard 1) ===

−

I would like to propose the following:

−

# All "recipes at skill level X" pages follow the "(skill level) (skill name) (recipe type name)" pattern

−

# All such pages be categorized under the appropriate "(skill) crafted items" pages rather than the "(skill)" category.

−

# All such pages be arranged under the "useful in their own right" fashion.

−

Poster child for this format: [[Expert tailoring patterns]]. Leatherworking pages would need to be improved on point 3, blacksmithing and alchemy on all points.

−

=== Existing standard 2 ===

−

I dislike this standard (as it stands) intensely, but want to list it so people can label it.

−

# All pages named "(skill) (recipe type name)/(skill level)"

−

# No effort made to make the page useful in its own right

−

# Categorized under "transcludable" and "skill name"

−

Poster child for this format: [[Blacksmithing recipes/Journeyman]]. Tailoring and leatherworking pages would need to be modified to the naming and categorizing conventions, and tailoring optionally truncated.

−

==== Alternate proposal for standard 2 ====

−

# All pages under "Template:(skill level) (skill name) (recipe type name)" pattern.

−

# No effort to make the page useful in its own right need be made.

−

# Such pages be categorized under [[:Category:WoW table templates]] or [[:Category:Item templates]].

−

All pages would need to be moved and re-categorized. Tailoring should be truncated under this.

−

--[[User:Eirik Ratcatcher|Eirik Ratcatcher]] ([[User talk:Eirik Ratcatcher|talk]]) 23:18, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

−

== Standards Discussion ==

−

My preferences are (hopefully) obvious. No slight intended, corkum.

−

As stated above, if we intend the page to be "only ever included", that is by definition a template. If so, they should BE templates, and out of the main namespace. Conversely, if they are IN the main namespace, they should be accessible. I find the (skill)/(level) sub-page format much less accessible than the "(level)(skill)(type)" name pattern. (There's a structure argument to be made against sub-pages, but it would mostly be a distraction to this discussion. Let me know if you'd like to talk about it.)

−

Similarly, if they are to only ever be included, they can be bare tables.

−

As a person who generally browses without javascript active, the AJAX component of (eg) [[Blacksmithing recipes]] defaults to "click this link to view the page". IE, your option without javascript is to see the page on its own. This option does not well suit pages that are not in fact intended to be viewed ala carte. Thus for usual viewing, the tailoring page I listed under the "Eirik proposal" works very well for me. Being shuttled off to a template page is less attractive. ... but template pages are the natural outgrowth of the decision "this page is ''only'' a table".

−

So what about ''normal'' people, who have javascript active? Under my scheme, they get pages they can optionally go to, with "normal" looking names and that look like people were meant to visit them, without losing the "just expand the table" functionality they currently enjoy on the BS and Alchy recipe pages.

−

And Engineering? They DO have pages like tailoring does, but the individual skill level pages are linked to mostly via {{t|Engineering recipes}}. The [[Engineering recipes]] page is an outlier in all regards. I was actually on my way to look into changing it when I encountered this discussion.

−

So... Agree with the Eirik proposal? Disagree? Have your own plan? Don't care? I'd rather find a consensus than have folks wake up to a fait accompli and insist that I change it all back... --[[User:Eirik Ratcatcher|Eirik Ratcatcher]] ([[User talk:Eirik Ratcatcher|talk]]) 23:18, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

-== Proficiency pages ==
-I do not believe these have (yet) been maintained.  But then, what do they add for a user that the recipe pages do not? (Not a rhetorical question.  Is there anything on them that should be preserved?)  From what I currently know, I would not be sorry to see the lot of them removed.  --[[User:Eirik Ratcatcher|Eirik Ratcatcher]] ([[User talk:Eirik Ratcatcher|talk]]) 21:05, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
-== Standards proposal ==
-=== Consensus standard ===
-(none yet - modify as appropriate)
-=== Eirik proposal (existing standard 1) ===
-I would like to propose the following:
-# All "recipes at skill level X" pages follow the "(skill level) (skill name) (recipe type name)" pattern
-# All such pages be categorized under the appropriate "(skill) crafted items" pages rather than the "(skill)" category.
-# All such pages be arranged under the "useful in their own right" fashion.
-Poster child for this format: [[Expert tailoring patterns]].  Leatherworking pages would need to be improved on point 3, blacksmithing and alchemy on all points.
-=== Existing standard 2 ===
-I dislike this standard (as it stands) intensely, but want to list it so people can label it.
-# All pages named "(skill) (recipe type name)/(skill level)"
-# No effort made to make the page useful in its own right
-# Categorized under "transcludable" and "skill name"
-Poster child for this format: [[Blacksmithing recipes/Journeyman]].  Tailoring and leatherworking pages would need to be modified to the naming and categorizing conventions, and tailoring optionally truncated.
-==== Alternate proposal for standard 2 ====
-# All pages under "Template:(skill level) (skill name) (recipe type name)" pattern.
-# No effort to make the page useful in its own right need be made.
-# Such pages be categorized under [[:Category:WoW table templates]] or [[:Category:Item templates]].
-All pages would need to be moved and re-categorized.  Tailoring should be truncated under this.

-== Standards Discussion ==
-My preferences are (hopefully) obvious.  No slight intended, corkum.
-As stated above, if we intend the page to be "only ever included", that is by definition a template.  If so, they should BE templates, and out of the main namespace.  Conversely, if they are IN the main namespace, they should be accessible.  I find the (skill)/(level) sub-page format much less accessible than the "(level)(skill)(type)" name pattern.  (There's a structure argument to be made against sub-pages, but it would mostly be a distraction to this discussion.  Let me know if you'd like to talk about it.)
-Similarly, if they are to only ever be included, they can be bare tables.
-As a person who generally browses without javascript active, the AJAX component of (eg) [[Blacksmithing recipes]] defaults to "click this link to view the page".  IE, your option without javascript is to see the page on its own.  This option does not well suit pages that are not in fact intended to be viewed ala carte.  Thus for usual viewing, the tailoring page I listed under the "Eirik proposal" works very well for me.  Being shuttled off to a template page is less attractive.  ... but template pages are the natural outgrowth of the decision "this page is ''only'' a table".
-So what about ''normal'' people, who have javascript active?  Under my scheme, they get pages they can optionally go to, with "normal" looking names and that look like people were meant to visit them, without losing the "just expand the table" functionality they currently enjoy on the BS and Alchy recipe pages.
-And Engineering?  They DO have pages like tailoring does, but the individual skill level pages are linked to mostly via {{t|Engineering recipes}}.  The [[Engineering recipes]] page is an outlier in all regards.  I was actually on my way to look into changing it when I encountered this discussion.
-So...  Agree with the Eirik proposal?  Disagree?  Have your own plan?  Don't care?  I'd rather find a consensus than have folks wake up to a fait accompli and insist that I change it all back...  --[[User:Eirik Ratcatcher|Eirik Ratcatcher]] ([[User talk:Eirik Ratcatcher|talk]]) 23:18, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
