My Time at Portia Wiki:Layout/Item

The following is the standard layout for Item pages.

Instructions

 * 1) Please read the best practices before creating a new item page.
 * 2) When you're ready to create a new item page, you can copy the code from this section (abbreviated) or this section (full) and use the parts of it that apply to the item in question.
 * 3) If you need additional help on how to correctly use this layout, check out the full layout with commentary here.

Templates
Important templates you will be using:
 * Infobox item
 * Material
 * Pref4

Currency templates:
 * G for gols
 * Template:Disc for data discs
 * B for badges

Crafting table templates:
 * CookingSetTable and CookingSetRow
 * WorktableTable and WorktableTableRow
 * AssemblyTable and AssemblyTableRow
 * CraftStationTable, CraftStationTableRow, and CraftStationTableRow/Cooking
 * Template:RecycleTable and Template:RecycleTableRow

Infobox
Fill in all of the relevant fields in the page's infobox. Include links to other pages wherever possible. When there is a list of items, use a single forced line break after each list item. (See "source" in the following example.)

For more information on how to use an item infobox, visit Template:Infobox item.

Notes:
 * Please never delete any fields in infoboxes on existing pages even if they are not shown. Some templates rely on these fields to be displayed correctly.
 * Please do not use magic word in title field or anywhere in the infobox. Some templates use title field and using magic words there prevents them from working properly.
 * Some infobox parameters for crafted items are not shown and are used in transclusion instead. When in doubt, ask how to use them.

Section headings
An item page generally should have three main sections: Obtaining, Usage, and Gallery.
 * Obtaining should not have subsections; instead, start a new paragraph for each new method of obtaining the item. If there is no known way of obtaining the item, make a note of that in the section.
 * Usage should include subsections for each of the different ways the item can be used. Valid subsection names include, in this order: Mission, Craft, Furniture, Donate, and Gift. If there is no known way of using the item, make a note of that in the section.
 * The Craft subsection should include further subsections for each different type of crafting station. Valid subsection names include, in this order: Worktable, Assembly Station, Furnace, Woodcutter, Grinder, and Factory.
 * The Recycle subsection should contain table only for items listed in the table on Recycle Machine page.
 * Gallery should include all additional images related to the item, not including the infobox image. Include this section even if there are currently no additional images.
 * The first image in the gallery should show the item with its default coloring in clear daylight or indoor lighting.
 * If the item can be dyed with Pigments, include an image displaying the item and the user interface that appears when dyeing the item.
 * If the item can be interacted with, include an image of the player and/or NPC interacting with the item.
 * Other occasionally used sections that are not included on pages by default:
 * Trivia should list non-key information of interest about the item, such as how the Golden Staff cannot be gifted but is listed as one of Mars's loved gifts in the database. This section goes immediately before the Gallery section.
 * References should list external sources of information. The section itself is to only include the  tag, while references themselves are to be pasted immediately after the information the reference is relevant to, formatted in between   tags. For more formatting guidance, see Help:References. This section is to be immediately after the Gallery section, and before any Version history section that may exist.
 * Version history should list and link the the Steam version (or date, in the case of console versions) that an item was added to the game or that any information about the item was changed in any way. This section goes after the Gallery section and after any References section that may exist, but before any navbox templates.
 * None of these three sections should have subsections; the Trivia and Version history sections both use asterisks at the start of a line to list information, while the References section will automatically be formatted into a list.

Tables
The full layout includes several tables for the purpose of displaying crafting, purchasing, and other data.
 * The tables in crafting section are generated using templates listed in templates section above. You can find the documentation for using a template on its page. Please make sure to use lowest possible level crafting station when listing items to ensure the displayed crafting time is accurate.
 * The table used in the Gift section is generated through the use of the template Pref4. For more information, view the template's documentation here.

Navboxes
Every item page should contain a navbox. The navbox should be placed below the Gallery section. Please choose a relevant navbox from Navigation templates category.
 * If a navbox for the type of the item does not exist you can create one using navbox table class or ask for help.
 * If a navbox exists but the item is missing from it, please add the item to the navbox.

Inserting data
The most important part of an item page is the unique information that describes the item. Keep these guidelines in mind:
 * Look for text that is in ALL CAPS. This usually represents a place where you will need to fill in information about the item.
 * Copper Bar can be used to WHAT and WHAT.
 * The magic word "PAGENAME" automatically inserts the name of the page wherever it is used; you do not need to replace it with the item name unless doing so is necessary for information to display correctly.
 * can be crafted in a Stone Furnace.
 * Insert a brief summary of the item's usage between the infobox and the Table of Contents.
 * Carbon Steel Bar is a crafting material that the player can use for crafting other items and gifting.
 * The word "MATERIAL" refers to an item that can be used to craft something else.
 * When identifying a form of currency, it is typically appropriate to use a currency icon template.
 * Template:G =
 * Template:Disc =
 * Template:B =
 * Template:B =
