Template talk:Crafting Template

Suggestions
Couple of issues that I have noticed while using this template.
 * 1. When multiple templates are used (like on the crafting page), it sometime hard to tell at glance what some of the crafting ingredients are. While we can use the hover function, waiting couple of seconds for each tootip to show is a bit inconvenient.
 * 2. When used on specific item pages for variants, the 'crafting' section is commonly use with 'gallery' section, the later being pretty much a repetition of the former only with the option to click on the image to see it full size.
 * 3. Many crafting "recipes" include sharp implements, if we try to add a crafting entry for each and one of them, we will be swamped and IMO it will spam the page.

Suggestions:
 * 1. Add a description like on item box templates, or hover text . Example using new trick from gallerias:


 * 2. With crafting ingredients and result, clicking on the image brings you to the relevant page where you can learn more. However, with variants such as spraypainting, it link back to the same page and has no benefit. I suggest that we change the template behavior so that links that point back to the page, will instead link to the image file name, hence avoiding the need to use both gallerias and crafting section.(or we can use some other format for those pages, because at the rate we are going those crafting list can become overwhelming)


 * 3. We need to find a generic image and link it to either to bladed weapons or special entry on the crafting page.
