Cost
I think the cost of the item should be listed. -- Wynthyst  talk  00:20, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree, see my proposal in the notes below. - RJ 17:13, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Remove 'releasepatch' and 'releasedate'.
We have 3 parameters for dictating whether something is released - releasepatch, releasedate and released. To me, it makes sense to only go with the latter and set, in item pages, the value to be 5 (for example, displays - with the added benefit of automagic formatting based on language subpage). They're all hooked up to SMW, and the latter - released - expects a boolean value, so I don't want to just do my own thing and edit them in case they're there for a reason. So, is there a reason for them being there? Or can I go ahead and deprecate 'releasepatch' and 'releasedate'. - RJ


 * I'm not sure why there are two properties for the date, however I don't think we can easily setup to return in a format we can use semantically, if we ever want pages of automatically sorted dates (which we can do with the current system). I don't think we need two entries, though, since 'releasedate' alone should be enough (I think it can be parsed to create a link to the correct patch automatically, by passing the date to  in the template). -Baloroth 18:48, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

Categorization
I think we need to beef up Categorization of Equipment, given how there will inevitably be more and more added with each patch. I suggest we add two dynamic categories using:
 * Hero name parameter
 * Slot name parameter

For example, a piece of equipment that went into the head slot for Tidehunter would automatically put it in the Category: Tidehunter Equipment and Category: Head Slot Equipment categories. There would need to be an if statement that if the hero parameter is all, that it instead puts it in something like Category: All Hero Equipment

I'd be happy to implement these changes if there's approval. --Ten19 21:37, 6 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Depending on what you actually want to accomplish with that categorization, you might already be covered by Semantic MediaWiki. For example, here are cosmetic items for Tidehunter's head: . This is given by --Kroocsiogsi 22:03, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Modifier icons
Should cosmetic modifier icons be included in this template like it is in game? I threw together a quick mockup of what something like that could look like here. --Litzsch (talk) 20:03, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

New parameter for cargo querying
We might want to add a new parameter (maybe something like ) to make querying for stuff like emoticon packs possible. The current way with categories does not work with Cargo and using  would brake as soon as valve changes their naming scheme.--Litzsch (talk) 23:22, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
