Template talk:Jiggle bones
Necessary?
I think with the addition of so many minor jiggle bones into many cosmetics these days, it's easier to just link to Category:Jiggleboned instead. This saves a lot of upkeep and they have essentially the same purpose. A super long template like this also doesn't look nice and is a chore to scroll through. With a category it's easier due to alphabetical ordering.

+ Even back in 2013 the template already was pretty long and it's only gotten worse. While it's nice to have an image for each cosmetic directly available, it's just not worth the effort and noting the exact part of the cosmetic that is jiggleboned is superfluous as it's already on the cosmetic page itself. { TidB | t | c } 10:59, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
- Support I must agree, it’s a nightmare to read due to the length. It would be better to just have the category. Calcium fiend (talk) 12:43, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
Oppose In terms of maintenance, I'd agree—but from a visual aspect, I'd disagree. We as wiki editors might not see it, but having a list with images that's easily accessible would be the most user-friendly approach rather than having readers go through a category as we wiki editors normally would. Evidently, I do not have any statistics on this, but I'm quite positive that no normal reader goes through any of our categories to find what they're looking for, nor would it be very appealing as the reader would have to look for the item of interest without any form of visual indication.
- While the table itself might not be exactly pretty, users nowadays on the web are reliant on visuals for easier navigation. The table could also be improved as for the layout to make it more visually appealing. If we were to fixate on table management, then one could argue that all of the class cosmetic lists (which is a pain to update for older items) would be too complex to maintain, but that's not a reason for replacing it with a category as we would sacrifice the visuals over easier maintenance.

- What if we removed the notes and just listed the items with a table like the
{{Assist items}}and{{Haunted quality table}}templates? - BrazilianNut (talk) 20:04, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
