what template are you referring to? Template:Items has == Description in Game == under the infobox and that's how i believe its supposed to be, and what i've been using for the item name on the tf's ive added. without naming any names, a certain other editor regularly just rearranges things internally for no particular reason, several of my edits have been simply fixing things they've fucked up for no reason

i create the page with {{subst:Template:Items}} then save. i can see how your pages ended up in the change history. the last item i created was snake shake, and you'll find that there is no == Item == at the top, only the

NOTOC
{{Infobox Item
...


== Description in Game ==

the description in game is what I have been using for the item name as it appears in inventory.

looking through various pages, IMO, the Gush Spraypen page is how the pages should be formatted. the ==Item Name== is below the infobox. additionally, we would have to make sure to cleanup extra line breaks that end up included when the template is used to avoid the odd gaps in the Hardlight Hoop page i saw you just created.

the main visual difference is just whether the infobox is separate or below the title line of ==Item Name==. imo, it makes more sense for the infobox to be separate

edit: also, i'm currently only enabling a table of contents on pages that are of sufficient length. this will likely never apply to items, however, if the ==Item Name== is placed above the TOC, it does end up looking awkward formatting wise. the table of contents breaks up the blockquoted description for the ==Item Name== title.

I created the Hardlight Hoop page to test the template (and because it needed to be created). I see what you mean.

I'm going to go through the equipment pages and see about clearing that up.

I'm not sure of the proper spacing between Aquisition & Usage sections, though.

One line,


Or two?

i personally heavily dislike double line spacing, so i reduce it to one in the pages i've done. older pages also seem to follow the single line spacing
