Problem

The item pages in this Wiki specify the item property (id, armor, weight, value, image, ...) values, for example this page. Most overview pages specify some of these property values again, for example this page. This called data redundancy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_redundancy) and should be avoided because it's a source of inconsistency. The examples below prove that this Wiki is no exception... (Don't shoot the messenger).

Inconsistency examples

(Please leave these inconsistencies be for the sake of this thread, until something is decided).


 * Silver ring weight 0.25 versus Silver ring weight 0.3.


 * Smithing 1 Silver Ring: 1x Silver Ingot versus Smithing 2 Silver Ring 1x Silver Ingot

Suggested solution

Item pages get:

Replace the xxxx with the property value of the item.

Overview pages now can use:.

Questions

Is it ok to proceed and apply this solution to all items?

May I update the style guide to support the above?
