Just wondering if there's any rationale behind the ordering of the butchering returns. Ordering by descending number of expected units obtained (i.e. bones, chunks and meat; then fat; then skin and skull) seems to me to look more ordered. Also, any reason why skin is Yes/No and not a number? --[[User:Mechturk|Mechturk]] 23:27, 4 November 2007 (EST) | Just wondering if there's any rationale behind the ordering of the butchering returns.

:You can have multiple skulls, but only one skin. The categories are listed in an arbitrary order. You can't dynamically order them based on the numbers in the template design. Feel free to reorder the list if you think you can improve it. Later on I or someone else should include size and value info as well as room for special attributes to be listed. I didn't do it making the template because Wikimarkup's table structure is greek to me. I made this by copying the [[Template:alloy]] page, and got sick of messing with it. --[[User:Ikkonoishi|Ikkonoishi]] 15:40, 5 November 2007 (EST) | :You can have multiple skulls, but only one skin.

Just wondering if there's any rationale behind the ordering of the butchering returns.

- You can have multiple skulls, but only one skin. The categories are listed in an arbitrary order. You can't dynamically order them based on the numbers in the template design. Feel free to reorder the list if you think you can improve it. Later on I or someone else should include size and value info as well as room for special attributes to be listed. I didn't do it making the template because Wikimarkup's table structure is greek to me.
