Players are looking to the wiki more and more as a resource, but it could use a lot of updates. So I spent some time addressing the item section. The now realize the original item page format was ill-conceived so I spent some time fixing it up. Here's some official guidance on how this will work for anyone that wants to help develop the wiki:

Tables should look like these two below. Note that you can sort by any column. Every attribute is not displayed on this page. Instead, only attributes common to the slot, like armor or level requirements, are found:

Bracers Table
Bows Table

Each item name links to an individual page with stats on each item, like this one:

Dragon Bone Bracers - Item pages are a great place to put a screenshot of the item's tooltip! It can simply replace the typed text on the page.

Note that each item page has a Category at the bottom of the page which will automatically place items into a pages by item slot like these:

Bracers
Bows

General guidance:
Do not try to put the attributes on the item table. It is too messy to try to cram all of that data into that table. Put those stats on the item-specific page, like this example:

I managed to create a category for every item type and at least start a table for every item type, too. If you guys could add unique items to the tables and create screen shots of the unique items and put them on each item's page that would be greaaaat.

Could you add a section for weapon procs? I don't know what some of them do and I even read that some weapons only proc for certain classes. Their combat text sort of provide an explanation but it's pretty vague for most of them.

Weapon proc description should probably just be on the unique weapon's page underneath the picture (or typed values).
