Icons on the table[edit]

I'm not sure how to do the sizes for the icons on the table. If it was just by type that would be easy. I would add a type param to Template:Infobox Item and then have a switch in here that would makes Tools = 75px, Molds =42px, etc. But Stag head, and I am sure others, don't play well with that.

Maybe we should do it by type but have exceptions for certain icons. But where would the exceptions be entered? Directly in Template:Crafting Box? Maybe as a property on the icon itself (i.e. File:Stag Head.png)? -- [[User:Fenyx4|Fenyx4]] (talk) 21:39, 28 February 2014 (MST)

Okay, decided I'd stop wringing my hands over less than a dozen exceptions to the size of icons on the table. So I just threw them directly in the template. It means we'll have to edit the template if any more exceptions come up. And if a lot of exceptions come up we'll probably have to redesign it but that can wait.
There are two different topics I think needs discussing so I'm gonna drop them into different sections below. But long story short; I think this is ready to be moved into production. -- Fenyx4 (talk) 08:05, 2 March 2014 (MST)
Since there have been no voices of dissent I'm gonna go ahead and get started. -- Fenyx4 (talk) 12:04, 3 March 2014 (MST)

Template implementation[edit]

I was already able to leverage semantic properties to query for the ingredient icons. This removed the need for the big list of SotAWiki:Craftbox_Resources. So I changed it so users just enter the pagenames which actually cut out 30k characters of code. The biggest benefit is we won't have to edit Crafting Box everytime a new item is added. Can anyone think of problems with this change? -- Fenyx4 (talk) 08:05, 2 March 2014 (MST)
