There are so many other pages that need actual tightening up or new wiki articles about GSIV that can be written. This template was my compromise and WAS a quick system for me to create pages for shops and inventory, but if ‎VANKRASN39 wants to isolate each piece of data into tags and insist on it looking a certain way, they are welcome to take over my cataloguing project. I'm welcome to corrections or additions to my contributions, but I nitpick my own work enough, thank you. And yes, I understand ‎VANKRASN39 is a writer of featured/hi-quality wiki articles, so maybe apply that instead to new wiki articles or one of the other ones that are blatantly biased, first person, wrong tense, etc. Also:

- Consider that the room number changes periodically, depending on Lich's map database, and that go2 will even revert to previous room numbers in an attempt to resolve a path.

- My intent with these shop pages is to give comprehensive information but still leave something to be experienced in game. Obvious exits and paths (and goodness, what would you use the tags for?) don't mean much on a wiki and have no relevance to the article, but it's something they will see in game.

Not directly part of this discussion but I just wanted to clarify that the only required fields in Template:RoomDescription are roomname and desc, all others are optional and only appear if the article writer specifically sets a value. ZHOUY1 (talk) 16:38, 9 October 2015 (CDT)
