Template:Item

From World of Warcraft Forever Wiki

This template adds a compact reference box and nonempty semantic properties to an article. It places the article in Category:Items.

Copy the blank pattern into a subject page. Leave unknown fields empty. Use plain page names for relationship fields and plain numbers for numeric fields. See Help:Editing and Project:Data policy.

Article structure

After the opening description or documented tooltip, use Acquisition → Uses and effects → Changes → Sources. Keep an effect’s usable location separate from its loot source. Name the actual awarding quest, boss, vendor, or recipe only when the source establishes it.

Use {{Research tasks|kind=Item|needs=Full tooltip and item ID; Exact acquisition source}} for specific gaps.

Changes records dated game announcements, corrections, or observed build changes. The optional reviewed_on date records the wiki’s source review; it is separate from the game version and does not imply in-game testing.

Acquisition fields accept evidence-backed relationships. See Equipment sources for the resulting lists.

  • acquisition_source: Named boss, vendor, or other direct source supported by evidence. An NPC associated with a story is not automatically its reward giver.
  • reward_from: Exact quest or challenge awarding the item. Leave empty when only the story or NPC association is known.
  • obtained_in: Documented acquisition location, such as a dungeon or zone; leave empty for unknown locations.
  • acquisition_method: Documented method, such as Quest reward, Dungeon drop, Vendor, or Crafting. Leave empty if unknown.
