The following is a Template how the loot listing for all current and future location pages should be done. If needed just copy the following code (and don't forget to remove all items NOT found at the respective location) so you don't have to type in all items manually! 4ndreas 18:44, November 18, 2010 (UTC)
The discussion on how to format this list can be found at Here --Rosslessness 11:35, November 19, 2010 (UTC)
I think a better way is to create a checklist of all the items. This way we only have to check each thing off if it's findable in the area. It'd be easeir than having to order it each time (order the items). Just worried it might be too big, but I'm imagining using a table for this. Thoughts? Whitesymphonia 15:42, November 28, 2010 (UTC)

Template looks good, except for ammunition. It should be sorted by type and power, not by alphanumerical order.
This would be a correct sorting:
- .380 ACP Pistol Cartridges
- .38 Special Pistol Cartridges
- 9x19mm Pistol Cartridges
- .45 ACP Pistol Cartridges
- .44 Magnum Pistol Cartridges
- .22 LR Cartridges
- .223 Remington Rifle Cartridges
- .270 Winchester Rifle Cartridges
- .308 Winchester Rifle Cartridges
- .30-06 Springfield Rifle Cartridges
- 5.56x45mm Rifle Cartridges
- 7.62x39mm Rifle Cartridges
- 20 Gauge Shotgun Shells
- 12 Gauge Shotgun Shells

Right now I am redoing all locations with my template, but feel free to change the Ammunition sections once I'm done. However, I think there should be seperate categories for different types of ammo then. E. g. like this:
Handgun Ammunition
- .380 ACP Pistol Cartridges
- .38 Special Pistol Cartridges
- 9x19mm Pistol Cartridges
- .45 ACP Pistol Cartridges
- .44 Magnum Pistol Cartridges
Shotgun Ammunition
- 12 Gauge Shotgun Shells
- 20 Gauge Shotgun Shells
Rifle Ammunition
- .22 LR Cartridges
- .223 Remington Rifle Cartridges
- .270 Winchester Rifle Cartridges
- .30-06 Springfield Rifle Cartridges
- .308 Winchester Rifle Cartridges
Assault Rifle and Submachine Gun Ammunition
- 5.56x45mm Rifle Cartridges
- 7.62x39mm Rifle Cartridges

I don't think that is necessary. Submachine guns use pistol ammo, not assault rifle ammo. Also, as more guns are added, and the ammo is tweaked there will be more overlap. I just sorted ammo into caliber type ie. pistol, rifle, assault rifle (which is considered intermediate rifle), and then by overall power. For example 44 magnum is a small diameter than .45ACP, but a more powerful round. Same for .38spcl and 9mm

I see. Well then I'll leave the ammunitions sections to you from now on. 4ndreas 19:36, November 18, 2010 (UTC)
- I am done editing Location pages for now and I've adopted your sorting for the template, so you may change the rest of the locations to the correct order. 4ndreas 19:54, November 18, 2010 (UTC)
- I've updated the ammo lists for all locations. If you have no objections, tomorrow I will delete this talk page with the exception of the first post with the updated, corrected template. Thanks for putting this together.
- BooleanRhythmic 20:10, November 18, 2010 (UTC)
I have a massive objection, this is all useful stuff, and if there are indeed more new location types we will need the listings. Thanks. --Rosslessness 23:11, November 18, 2010 (UTC)
I think you misunderstand. Now that we have hashed out the desired template, I want to delete the discussion after 4ndreas' original post, leaving the updated template. I don't want new contributors to be confused by the discussion. Basically everything above the white line will be kept BooleanRhythmic 00:35, November 19, 2010 (UTC)
- No, I get the point, I don't want president sent where old discussion gets deleted. We can easily alter headers to make things clear, but the discussion that led to the decisions should be remain to show others how the decision was reached.--Rosslessness 11:34, November 19, 2010 (UTC)
Fine with me. I think the list could also be used for a Template:Location , however I don't quite know how to create Templates yet, just an idea anyway. -- 4ndreas 06:37, November 19, 2010 (UTC)
- You'd have to have a separate line in the template code to show whether an item was available or not. As such copy and paste is probably just as easy. --Rosslessness 11:34, November 19, 2010 (UTC)
Adding the amount of items that can be looted at a location type
What do you guys think of adding the amount of distinct items (i.e. counting ammunition piles as 1) that can be looted from a location before it is depleted? It can easily be determined and is much more precise than textual descriptions (nodes deplete fast, many items can be scavenged etc.). It could either be just at location pages or in the Location page and at the specific locations. -- 4ndreas 12:52, November 19, 2010 (UTC)
- yeah, but we need to work out if 5 beer cans is the same as one beer can. --Rosslessness 18:31, November 21, 2010 (UTC)
