Template talk:Pickups

Suitability
OK, I'm not too happy with this template. It's already what I'd class as too big (in terms of physical size and content), and with 384 pages in the Items category, there's easily dozens more which could potentially be added. In general, we've always tended to steer clear of these large, cluttered templates and in the past they've normally been deleted. My only suggestion would be to split this by game, but then we'd have lots of templates with overlapping content, which would duplicate what's already covered in the items/equipment listings for each game. So overall, I don't think we need this. Opinions? 20:51, 25 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Frankly, I sorta agree. It's just way too big. But you know, we could always make it smaller, and just include some of the more 'major' items, such as the dungeon items, instead. Or we could do what some other wikis use, one of those 'click here to show or hide template' things. The Goron Moron 21:09, 25 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Do you have any idea how long this took? I'd be much more willing to convert it to something smaller than to delete it, and I have a few ideas how. I'll work on it later, so don't pull the plug yet. 22:14, 25 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry if you spent a lot of time making this; as a suggestion, try talking about stuff like this before doing it. That way, you'll avoid wasting time in future. Anyway, go ahead and improve it however you can, then we can look at it again. I just wanted to point out the problems before this got used everywhere and created even more work. 12:51, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
