Well, I haven't gotten to the high-leveled monsters yet, where I was planning on adding a separate column for recipes and scrolls according to the amount of drops they use. Despite the fact that they are somewhat complicated, I do find the template I use to be very aesthetically pleasant to the eye.  I know having to find the image file names is a hassle, but I have no problems with doing so. Also, I've seen you create those hidden categories, but I'm not sure what the point of them are when the item page itself should have which monsters drop the item. The thing about your template is that I have no idea of how to use it, but I've had experience with the one I use, but if you'd like, I could surely try to figure out yours and use it instead!

::: My original plan was to add the template to every page, then look to see where all the links are coming from in [[Special:WhatLinksHere]]. But with hidden categories, a list can basically be maintained automatically. If another extension was added to the wiki, this list could be listed on all item pages and always be up-to-date. (The flaw in this automatic listing is that there isn't much room for additional comments such as level of monster.)
::: If you'd like to give it a shot, you can go to [[Template:Drop Table infobox]] and copy and paste the code provided. The syntax is very easy to remember: for every new entry, hit the enter key, and start off the row with "|" (the vertical line/pipe key). After that, add a space and write what it is, followed by the equal sign and the name.
::: For example:
<pre>
{{Drop Table infobox
| warrior = Spear
}}
</pre>
::: This lists the warrior equipment [[Spear]].
::: You can list multiple entries for a type by adding a number directly after.
<pre>
{{Drop Table infobox
| warrior = Spear
| warrior2 = Pole Arm
}}
</pre>
::: This pattern continues up to 10 for all class equipment. The one change is that Common equipment is listed as all.
<pre>
{{Drop Table infobox
| all =
| all2 =
}}
</pre>
::: Otherwise, the pattern is consistent with use, etc, mesos, manual, ore, recipe, weaponscroll, accessoryscroll, and so on. Chances are, even if you guess, you'll probably find the right word to use. Some types have higher limits (numbers that can be placed directly after), which means there should be few issues with it.
::: If you would like a more in-depth explanation, let me know. :) [[User:Kitten Tale|Kitten Tale]] ([[User talk:Kitten Tale|talk]]) 20:10, 24 July 2012 (CDT)
