Talk:Items

On Sept 9 2017, I made some edits to the items page. In the summary, I accidentally pressed "Save page" and didn't complete a sentence: I was going to say I think the Ammo Processor should be moved under the "Tools" section, but I don't know how to do that.

Yes, you're completely right, it is a tool and was just a mistake I made when I revamped the items page a little while ago. I'll change it now. Pleccymm (talk) 15:31, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

"Description" Category for Item pages
I want to bring attention to the "Description" category on many of the individual item pages. I don't mean to be rude, but between the actual article explaining what an item does in detail and the official in-game tooltip right under it, a "Description" just feels vague and unnecessary. For example, look at the Kill Ammunizer or the Melee Durability Spray wiki pages:

My thoughts are that the descriptions are just redundant paraphrasings of the tooltips. Perhaps the intention were for them to be more formal "TL:DR" summaries, in contrast with the tooltips which pretty much serve the same purpose but are more often than not done in a joking/satirical manner to fit the theme of the game. If that's the case, I suppose there's no need to remove the category entirely, but maybe change "Description" to "Summary", and also place it below the "Tooltip" category.

I'm inclined to agree about getting rid of the descriptions. From what I could tell, they seemed to be placeholders since a large number of item pages didn't have any text aside from the Itembox itself. As long as every item page has text that explains what the item does, description can be removed.
