* I was wondering how that was going to turn out.  To be honest, the mass of brackets all over the place frightened me!  XD  It looks nice, but I imagine it'd take me a while to switch over to using this, especially considering how comfortable I've become in using the table layout we already have. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 09:09, 7 December 2007 (CST)

** The template source looks scary for sure ;)  In any case I mostly did this to learn some new template tricks; I'm not entirely sure if this single-drop-tier thing works for all missions, pretty sure it does but maybe I'm overlooking stuff. If this is useful, great, but if it isn't, the knowledge I've gained will be; I've learned how to do optional template arguments now. But I think this may make a few drop tables a bit easier.

Enemy names

  • Great work on this, Mewn! I noticed that you've got names for some enemies that haven't even appeared in the Japanese version. Fruits of some data mining, perhaps?  ;) Mainly just curious if these are official names so I can make some updates elsewhere. - EspioKaos 12:20, 1 December 2007 (CST)

Spacing of drops

  • I noticed that the Jaggo special drops were changed from being broken into separate lines to being listed on one line separated by commas. To be honest, I prefer the line-by-line. I think it just looks cleaner. Thoughts? - EspioKaos 12:20, 1 December 2007 (CST)

Mission drop table template

You may or may not have seen my experimenting with templates. The result is a nice drop table template that may be handy sometime. Have a look in my sandbox: http://psupedia.info/User:Au/Sandbox As you can see in the source you need only very little wiki code to build the table. Some restrictions apply, though:

  • All monsters in the mission must be in the same drop tier (except for boss, that one's filled in seperately). I know there are a few missions where they're different (Cost of Research, and one of the shrooms missions) but as far as I know they're the exception, not the rule.
  • Every monster - including those that appear only below or above level 50, must have all drop tiers filled in in their templates.
  • Max. 10 different monster supported. Can have less. Support for more can be added if needed.

S2 level is optional, leave it empty and nothing will be there but the other levels have to be filled in.
