 Shouldn't there be sections for the in-game descriptions of the items?--[[User:Starman125|Starman125]] 20:34, 15 December 2011 (EST)
 :Same goes for the other items, not just in Mother 3, but in EarthBound and Mother as well.--[[User:Starman125|Starman125]] 20:39, 15 December 2011 (EST)

 ::::Okay whoa, calm down there. I do feel like we should have the item descriptions somewhere, but it wouldn't quite work with the barebones table we use right now. If we had a more specialized table for items, we might be able to put in the item descriptions without it looking horribly wonky. (Might be hard to avoid with some of the EB ones since some of them go off on... tangents, like the Pasta di Summers, but it could work.) {{User:Tina/sig}} 08:11, 18 December 2011 (EST)
+:::::Have you ever thought of using "wikitable sortable" instead? If the table you use now is too "barebones", as you said, then why not use "wikitable sortable"?--[[User:Starman125|Starman125]] 11:36, 18 December 2011 (EST)
+I don't think you're understanding why I have a problem with this... The thing is, the overly long descriptions would shrink the other sections of the table; a problem which isn't remedied by wikitable. In EarthBound's case, it gets to the point where it's a complete eyesore, and in some cases, splits the Japanese Kana and translation between '''four''' lines, which is COMEPLETELY unacceptable. If I had more time I would have made a fix for it by now, but my template-making skills aren't exactly 100% great; I work with what I got, but it takes a while. This also causes problems when there's an exceedingly short description, and then it gets pushed to the left. The description for Hamburger is just "''100% beef''". Then it hogs one section of the table. If it's that big of a deal to you, I'll work on it, but chill, dude. [[User:Multus|Multus]] 14:19, 18 December 2011 (EST)
+== My attempt at an item infobox: ==
+<br clear="all">I'm sure someone else could do it better, but here's what I came up with. :/ [[User:Multus|Multus]] 15:24, 18 December 2011 (EST)
+:Exactly, Multus-- this is what I mean by a more specialized table. Wikitable sortable would not work and would still look wonky. I kind of like this one you came up with, but I might try tweaking it later to make it a little more compact or something. We'll get to adding descriptions, but it's nothing to get really worked up about. Then again, I guess we could use some things to do, since it's been so inactive recently... {{User:Tina/sig}} 21:28, 18 December 2011 (EST)
+::Blergh. This'll do, I guess.--[[User:Starman125|Starman125]] 01:21, 19 December 2011 (EST)
+:::Have we considred doing something like Bulbapedia's item lists, where certain details remain hidden by default? ([[bulbapedia:Potion|example]]) [[User:Miles of SmashWiki|<font color="dodgerblue"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;">'''Miles''']] <font color="silver">([[User talk:Miles of SmashWiki|<font color="silver">talk]])</font></font></span></font> 15:24, 19 December 2011 (EST)
+::::Not a big fan of the way Bulbapedia does it, actually. For one thing, it isn't simply look at a section, see how much it recovers. For a game with so many recovery and battle items as EarthBound, it wouldn't be as useful in presenting info as it is with Pokemon which has a few different types of Potions. EarthBound has soooo many food items... EDIT: To clarify, I'm not 100% against the idea, but there are only a few, very select items whose descriptions go... I love how Tina said this, off-base. If we could hide just really long descriptions, I would be completely in favor. EDIT#2: Any way we could implement a scrollbar to the descriptions or something similar? Geez, you wouldn't think such a simple thing as an item description would cause such a problem :/[[User:Multus|Multus]] 16:01, 19 December 2011 (EST)
+:::::Maybe a "show/hide" switch will work?--[[User:Starman125|Starman125]] 11:46, 20 December 2011 (EST)
+:::::Well, yes it will work, but a scrollbar is preferred; if it can't be pulled off, that's probably what will happen. [[User:Multus|Multus]] 17:12, 20 December 2011 (EST)
+::::::It may be kind of a pain to implement scrollbars, I think. But it might be possible with the magic of some extensions. I'm not too fond of how Bulbapedia does it with the item lists - the show/hide thing gets kinda clunky, yeah. I think probably the best way to do it is to maybe make the text smaller for longer descriptions (hmm), or the scrollbar idea. I'll try making a mockup later and see how it goes, I guess. {{User:Tina/sig}} 17:57, 20 December 2011 (EST)
+I heard you like scrollbars, so I put a scrollbar in your scrollbar. [[User:Multus|Multus]] 18:59, 21 December 2011 (EST)
+<br clear="all">Yes, this could very much work.--[[User:Starman125|Starman125]] 11:43, 28 December 2011 (EST)
