Do we need this page?

I just want to bring this page to everyone's attention. Is it really necessary? I don't know if we need a page to collectively describe all of these "minigame"-type items, since "novelty items" seems to be a good enough description. If it is in fact necessary, I'd at least suggest a comprehensive rewrite.

I saw the post on the community noticeboard about this, but didn't get to reply. I agree with you though - I like the idea, but I'm not sure it has a place on the wiki. --Eraloiz (talk) 16:56, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

It's been a while, nothing has changed on this page. Should we do anything to/about it or leave it for discussion first? I think it's best we get the input of more than just the few users who have been contributing/discussing. --2057clones (talk) 23:09, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

I agree that it doesn't quite fit here. I don't know what to do with it, though, move into guidespace perhaps? It isn't exactly a walkthrough, but it could fall under the "otherwise interesting article" category mentioned on the project page. --Rye Greenwood (talk) 01:46, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

Sounds like a good idea to me. It is a pretty interesting article and was probably created in good faith. But if that does happen, it definitely needs a rewrite. --2057clones (talk) 02:01, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ So, since nothing happened here for over a month, I went ahead and moved the page. --Rye Greenwood (talk) 20:48, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Formatting

Seeing as the formatting ({{item}} and links, etc.) has gone through a couple of changes, I thought it'd be nice to decide on an optimal version. The icons next to the titles are useful, but seem inconsistent with other guides/pages (if I recall correctly) and don't have links. I think the best way might be to use regular headers, and instead of dispersing item templates throughout the way my first revision did, place them in 'required items' lists at the beginning (like with the golf section.) That way, the item lists would be organized and consistent. Thoughts? --2057clones (talk) 19:36, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

The {{item}} icons in the section headings do seem rather inconsistent (and I'm not exactly a fan of them)... I like the idea of a "required/associated items" list, though; perhaps a terraria-classed {{itemlist}} could do the trick? (Maybe even a (small) full-on {{infocard}}, although there might not be enough content for it to look good – looking at football, for example.) --Rye Greenwood (talk) 18:47, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
