(Response to PFLATS 2016 perfume bottle descriptions note. I propose new page about SCENTS in general (not only perfumes, but stationery scents, bath house oil scents, manure oil scents etc, any wearable scents). Opinions sought!)
Line 5: Line 5:


I'm considering adding a second column for people to enter the description of the associated perfume bottle if they have it/know it. That way, us plebeians who don't have super rare shifting perfume bottles can find the scent. Thoughts? [[User:PFLATS|PFLATS]] ([[User talk:PFLATS|talk]]) 18:18, 17 October 2016 (CDT)

:Good idea. But could we make a new page whose focus is "scents" in general, including:
:*bottles of perfume/cologne
:*vials of oil (manure scent etc sold at Frontier Days)
:*stationery scent bottles (also wearable like perfume)
:*bath house oils (also make you smelly)
:*any other wearable scents we can find
:I love the old page and think it should exist as-is. There seemed to be no interest in modifying it to add a bottle description column.
:Additionally, the trouble with adding bottles to that page might be, that some scents have 2 or 3 different looking bottles sold. That MIGHT muck up this current page.
:Thirdly, if a person wants to get smelly, there are so many other ways to do it than just perfumes. Why be limited to just perfume bottles?
:We could alphabetize by bottle (in the case of bath house scents, list as what they "look like" i.e. "a storm grey vanilla-scented pot").
:PFLATS, are you still around and willing to work on this? I have a tote full of perfume bottles and a spreadsheet partly filled out which could provide a good starting point. I also have collected merchant perfume information for a few years. If my help is wanted let me know ok. Anyone have other thoughts on this?

I suggest reverting the alphabetization, as the order of scents is important for those who have the cycling items. Perhaps a table that would allow optional sorting? GameMaster Vanah (talk) 15:19, 21 September 2015 (CDT)

Bottles

I'm considering adding a second column for people to enter the description of the associated perfume bottle if they have it/know it. That way, us plebeians who don't have super rare shifting perfume bottles can find the scent. Thoughts? PFLATS (talk) 18:18, 17 October 2016 (CDT)

Good idea. But could we make a new page whose focus is "scents" in general, including:
  • bottles of perfume/cologne
  • vials of oil (manure scent etc sold at Frontier Days)
  • stationery scent bottles (also wearable like perfume)
  • bath house oils (also make you smelly)
  • any other wearable scents we can find
I love the old page and think it should exist as-is. There seemed to be no interest in modifying it to add a bottle description column.
Additionally, the trouble with adding bottles to that page might be, that some scents have 2 or 3 different looking bottles sold. That MIGHT muck up this current page.
Thirdly, if a person wants to get smelly, there are so many other ways to do it than just perfumes. Why be limited to just perfume bottles?
We could alphabetize by bottle (in the case of bath house scents, list as what they "look like" i.e. "a storm grey vanilla-scented pot").
PFLATS, are you still around and willing to work on this? I have a tote full of perfume bottles and a spreadsheet partly filled out which could provide a good starting point. I also have collected merchant perfume information for a few years. If my help is wanted let me know ok. Anyone have other thoughts on this?
