Merchants
Hey, nice additions. I never got around to finishing the "framework" to add merchants but it seems like you've accomplished that quite nicely.
I'll update my scraper tool soon(ish) to use Template:MerchantPage instead of Namedmobpage, and also to fill out the "Items Sold" category.
Anything else needed?

Scraper Updates
I've updated the NPC scraper to pick MerchantPage template, and also include a list of items for sale.
It will also add a Category: Zonename to the bottom of the page. This is a new thing that I'm not using yet, but the idea for both mobs and quests is just to include a Category: Zonename where they are or start. No need to say "Kaladim Merchants" for example, since we can get that list by intersecting the "Merchants" and "Kaladim" categories.
I updated the item scraper to include a note (under a "soldby=" parameter) if the item can be purchased from merchants. I'm still working on a complete listing of who and where. I was thinking a table (like the spell pages) instead of just a bullet list (like the "dropsfrom" parameter on mob pages).
No items on the wiki up until now were really vendor sold, but since they are now it's important that this is decided and consistent across all items.
Template Substitution
This is a permanent change right? Once the template is substituted, there is no way to go back?
It kind of defeats the purpose of having a template in the first place, we could just write the output in the other (less templatized) format. But that's my only real complaint.
If you really think it's worth it are you willing to change all the existing mob pages on the wiki for consistency?
Perhaps hold off for now. --Ravhin 20:46, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
Classic authenticity
Are you checking these Kaladim merchants you're adding? I'm curious if all the items listed are actually being sold. Some of them (for ex Miners Guide to Toxicology) I was surprised would be classic.
Also, when adding items, the most important thing to check is that the quests it lists are classic. For ex Barley I'm not sure any of those are classic.
I'll add more checking for that in the scrapers but it's something best looked over by having the alla page open in a second window and seeing that those quests don't involve any wierd post-Velious zones. Or are in old zones but not classic, i.e. lots of post-Velious newbie armor quests. --Ravhin 20:51, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
Adding Things for Now
Why don't you hold off adding any more items that are sold from vendors for now, until I finish the scraper/template for that. Otherwise we will just have to redo all the ones already done. But the merchant pages should be done (right?). So feel free to add the rest of those for Kaladim, say, then we can see if anything needs tweaking. Let's avoid the subst technique for now, we can always do it later. --Ravhin 21:22, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
