Talk:Autolathe/Recipes

Subject: Maybe add some QoL features?

Hello, I'm new to this wiki and I just went through and cleaned up the pages for the various ores, i.e. Copper Ore. I'm trying to move on to the ingot pages (i.e. Copper Ingot), but I don't really know what I'm doing lol. I'm pretty new to all this wiki editing stuff, and I don't know any HTML or anything like that.

But anyways I was taking some inspiration from the Terraria Wiki, and they seem to have some extensions or something, some seem to be called Crate and TemplateData. The problem I'm having is that many of the recipes aren't really held in a central place, where they can be easily accessed through a command or template to be used on any page where the recipes are needed.

I'm imagining that it would be awesome if we could have some central page where, for example, all the autolathe recipes are, then on the Copper Ingot page I could somehow do a command like Template:Recipes/autolathe or something, then it automatically inserts a table with all that data. While it would take time to implement, I think it'd be worth it as I see hints that people have given up trying to keep up with patches that change recipes and such, so having one place such as this page but with more user-friendly features would be awesome.

Any thoughts? I would love to continue this conversation and maybe learn a thing or two from a wiki expert. I might not see a message on here, so if you wanna chat about it please use my discord username on my talk page. Thanks!
