Meaning

What is the meaning of these pages ? Is it suppose to be list of all the asc maces ? Or just those that can be crafted ? Why does the prefix list shows one list of maces and gallery shows diferent one ? Why is this page connected to diferent pages with diferent meaning for this page ? Why its not named just Ascended Mace insted ? So .. confusing. --DiegoDeLaHouska (talk) 09:31, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

Good point. Reviewing the different templates used:

On the recipe sheet pages (e.g. Recipe: Ascended Mace)	On the ascended weapon type overview pages - prefix<br(e.g. Ascended Flanged Mace)	On the ascended weapon type overview pages - gallery<br(e.g. Ascended Flanged Mace)
Angchu Flanged Mace Beigarth's Flanged Mace Chorben's Flanged Mace Coalforge's Flanged Mace Ebonmane's Flanged Mace Giftbringer's Flanged Mace Grizzlemouth's Flanged Mace Hronk's Flanged Mace Leftpaw's Flanged Mace Mathilde's Flanged Mace Occam's Flanged Mace Ossa's Flanged Mace Soros's Flanged Mace Stonecleaver's Flanged Mace Svaard's Flanged Mace Theodosus's Flanged Mace Tixx's Flanged Mace Tonn's Flanged Mace Wupwup Flanged Mace Zintl Flanged Mace Zojja's Flanged Mace	Angchu Flanged Mace Beigarth's Flanged Mace Chorben's Flanged Mace Coalforge's Flanged Mace Ebonmane's Flanged Mace Giftbringer's Flanged Mace Grizzlemouth's Flanged Mace Hronk's Flanged Mace Leftpaw's Flanged Mace Mathilde's Flanged Mace Occam's Flanged Mace Ossa's Flanged Mace Soros's Flanged Mace Stonecleaver's Flanged Mace Svaard's Flanged Mace Theodosus's Flanged Mace Tixx's Flanged Mace Tonn's Flanged Mace Wupwup Flanged Mace Zintl Flanged Mace Zojja's Flanged Mace	SMW query for has weapon type=x AND item rarity=ascended Therefore contains ANY ascended weapon of that type, so its got all of column B here plus the random drop/vendor weapons.
	Plus: Keeper's Flanged Mace Maklain's Flanged Mace Nerashi's Flanged Mace Pahua's Flanged Mace Ruka's Flanged Mace Steelstar's Flanged Mace Flanged Mace of the Sunless Tizlak's Flanged Mace Ventari's Flanged Mace Verata's Flanged Mace Yassith's Flanged Mace

There's a few options here.

• Option 1 - Delete these weapon type pages, delete [[Template:Ascended weapon prefix list]] and [[Template:Ascended weapons gallery]], and unlink the pages from each of the recipe selection pages.
• Option 2 - Reword each weapon type page to reflect its only about the weapons you can craft yourself from the craftsman vendor sold recipe consumables, remove the non-core prefixes from [[Template:Ascended weapon prefix list]], and update [[Template:Ascended weapons gallery]] by removing the SMW query and using a hardcoded gallery.
• Option 3 - Move each page to a more generic title (for example, without "Flanged"), make the prefix list template SMW driven, leave the gallery template alone, and unlink th e pages from the recipe selection pages.

I prefer option 1. -Chieftain Alex 10:30, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

I agree with option 1, the table itself is redundant and if the purpose of the page is just to showcase the craftable ascended weapon skins I think that would be better done by adding a gallery to Antique weapons. --ItVictor (talk) 10:47, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

Option 1 carried out: 1) Original pages erased. 2) Links removed where possible. 3) Realised that mystic forge weapon links (such as on Gift of Souls, Antonina, and Sikandar) would be broken so I've created generic pages. 4) Redirected old titles to the new titles. -Chieftain Alex 13:01, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
