There has got to be a better way to maintain this list than entering it both here and in the correct spot in the item catalog (and maybe in the correct spot in the store list as well).

I briefly looked at making a page for each item, and putting each item in a common category (like "checklist"). This would generate the checklist page automatically. I think this has some merit. Other thoughts?

I still don't see how to do that. I am all for not having the individual shops listed since we have it in the inventory already. To put it on the checklist is VERY easy.

The places to put items would be: Timeline, Inventory, checklist and then any place that would offer it (games, etc.) i really think that that would be best until I can grasp how to do what you suggested Priz. It didn't work well last time and was, in fact, more difficult than it should be.

The other thought about the checklist is that it is just text. If we do the "item" pages, it would generate a table again which is what I was trying to avoid with the checklist.

See :Category:Checklist for an example, and its talk page for my comments on how and why. I do understand your point about it being work, however. I just would rather "create it once" instead of creating and maintaining it a couple of times.

I see that and see about adding the page for each item. My concern is twofold then: 1) The Item:x list doesn't give us the clean list (there will always be "item" in fron and no spaces between the words). 2) Would this be added as a table to the checklist (something that I am trying to avoid)? --SpinMarty 10:15, 21 September 2006 (CDT)
