Differentiating Classic and Ascended Spirit Weapons

Differentiating Classic and Ascended Spirit Weapons

Similar to the chapter 1 renewal this information now only applies to classic spirit weapons, and not those converted or created starting with G24. Because of this, I have changed the name of the page and replaced the header to reflect the actual "feature removed" status and created a "spirit ascension" page specifically for documenting the updated information while minimizing any potential confusion between the two systems. It would also be appreciated if all further updates and information on the subject are directed to the new page created specifically for the G24 version of this feature.

I was a little lazy when I added that header, and hadn't seen you had started. Some things to note: "Spirit Weapon" should redirect to both new and old weapons, or to new weapons with a link at the top to classic ones. Likewise the header should be added to New Spirit Weapons. Perhaps a better page name convention would be Spirit Weapons (Classic) & Spirit Weapons (Ascended) but I'm not entirely self-convinced either.

At the same time we basically have to go by official names around here. One time someone tried that with a sword that used to be misnamed (it has since been renamed completely) and the mods decided from that to require the use of the in-game name of items, weapons and features to avoid confusion. In this case the name is Classic Spirit Weapons and the new system is part of Ascension so that's what I am using for differential between the old and new systems unless someone else says otherwise.

I also added the discontinuation notice to pages for the items that are affected by this (specifically the ones from the cash shop) and the restorative liqueur basically needs to have its page removed or the banner setup modified to allow for the accommodation of items which no longer exist after certain feature changes (and I currently have a "disregard disclosure" posted in its effects of the update section because of this). Likewise I added a statement regarding the new information on the fact that it's still incomplete (unfortunately I didn't get a good look at the banner code or I would have probably been using that instead!) so basically it's already established that the updated information is still a work in progress.

Forgot to mention but I finished accounting for all the changes and items last night, and also managed to get all the redirects to work properly. I also completely replaced the restorative liquer page with a removal notice that's open to use in future situations involving hard discontinuations (meaning those where the item, quest or feature is removed for everyone and not just those who are still using the old method of doing things).

I assume fixing this will need someone to run a bot command or whatever wikis have for mass edits. pages for weapons with old!Spirits show a spirit weapon tab, should be "Classic Spirit" to differentiate.
