I think Flight Items might be a little confusing. With "Drops Items" it's pretty straight forward. Espeically as they have the (often), (seldom) etc afterwards.
I agree with only adding items that show on the current game drop down box.
Event items I mentioned in my above post.

OK So just the one category. But maybe agree on the order they appear? Flight items like LL first, Repair 2nd, weather 3rd then the rest with a line in beween the 2 parts?

Can you change the template for the heading then ill go back and change again thundersbirds.

I rarely do these flights, so not sure what the correct terms are!
Some of the flights have "Excavations: New World" etc but the majority are called Tollan, Luxor, Cairo etc without the Excavations part. Just want to be 100% sure they are all Excavations. I thought adventure was the same thing!

No. If you look in your warehouse you have to buy a an excatavtion map fro Duke. When you have a map you then can do adventure flights to specific destinations. Excavation is correct.

Ive changed Pynongyand items. Looks better. In one section to rename and delete the 2nd

If you delete from the template wil lit delete all the info added? if so give me 10 mins to move it manually so I dont have to retype!!

I am in agreement, however i'm thinking of trying to keep things as simple as possible. The issue with having the items seperated is that when you are inputting the items, you have to work out what is a repair item, weather icon and/or other item.

When we start on the "Items" section of the wiki, there will be a "Repair Items" "Weather Items" etc with these listed which will then automatically link to the destination. Having the text on the Drops Items is just a way of linking the two together.

I've renamed the template to "Drops Items", however the field you type next to will still say 'common_items' for the time being. I shall remove all trace of 'Special Items' later on.

But someone looking at the list won't know what the groupings are, as there are no headings. They will just see 2/3/4 different groupings of items.

It’s a little tricky as the Excavation flights are what drop the maps for Adventure flights. It’s almost like you could list Ex Flights as a subset of the title “Adventure Flights”.

One thing to consider, regarding listing a lot of detail for events, is that GI switches things around at their leisure to mix up the challenges each year. I certainly like the idea of having flights listed, but Flight items have been known to change as have items being dropped. Drops might change from event destinations one year and be allocated to guest planes the next. A few items collected in the past have even been irrelevant to the event as it rolls around again. The randomness could cause more confusion than you’d like. It might be worth keeping a lot of that info out of the wiki since events all come with instructions and the event threads all go crazy with questions regardless .

Another way would be to tag drops as event-only, and have events one off like the forum awards (Time to rock 2020 instead of Time to rock)?

Yes we are only putting in whats on the drop down list. No event items.

Great work @Madge59230 , Thank you

 

[Madge59230]

Great work @Madge59230 , Thank you

No problem. Main message is abandon the old Wiki completely. All flights and details have to be checked against current game.

Now the layout and contents is clearer it will be quicker.

Will do more on Friday. Got to work tomorrow.

 

[Dave]

For the standard flights I have removed the "special_items" and changed common to "Drops Item"

 

[Dave]

On the other flights such as Alliance Map Flights, Alliance Flights etc -Although it says special_items= this will be converted to Drops Item.
