Wouldn't this be more aptly named Template:Stone_types or some variation thereon? Good idea though VD. --Edward 07:03, 25 January 2009 (EST)

If necessary, we can move/redirect or whatnot. Personally, I like the name rocks :) VengefulDonut 10:47, 25 January 2009 (EST)

As this stands, all stones except the non-flux economics (categorized under "unique") are included in their respective layers - stone that always appears as clusters is listed in the layer with its parent stone(s). Where a stone appears in more than one layer, it's listed multiple times. This may or may not be desired. Also left out slade. Ancient History 02:55, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Until recently, the top four rows were devoted to layer stones. They were followed by "unique" stones and then ores. These were all the stones I thought were worth drawing attention to.
With your edit, layer stones and generic rocks are being mixed together in the same rows. This seems really icky. If you think they deserve inclusion, at least put them in a new row (or new rows). VengefulDonut 04:40, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
My thought process was that you could look at the table and tell at a glance which stones were in which layers - I've separated out the clusters from the layer stones. Does that help? Ancient History 14:22, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
Hmm.. I think the format of this table is interfering with your goal. The result looks really cluttered.
Here's my suggestion: put your location table on the stone page or the guide to rock page and completely redo the structure. That way you can make it look attractive and we can leave this as a collection of links to relatively important stone types. VengefulDonut 14:32, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
