For certain containers, such as [[Glob of Destabilized Ectoplasm|Globs of Destabilized Ectoplasm]] or [[Black Lion Chest]]s, it is desirable to determine the likelihood of a given item dropping from them. To this end, users may wish to create a ''drop rate research page'', typically titled '''<main article>/Drop rate'''. (Talk pages are also acceptable places to record drop rate research.)

This guide will demonstrate how to create a table which will automatically calculate drop rate percentages.

== Building the table ==
Three templates are used to create the table: {{tl|SDRH}}, {{tl|SDRL}}, and {{tl|SDRF}}. Please refer to their respective documentation pages for full details.

=== SDRH ===
{{main|Template:SDRH}}
The '''S'''tandard '''D'''rop '''R'''ate '''H'''eader creates the header portion of the table. It defines the column headers of the respective input parameters.
<pre>
{{SDRH
| title = 
| subject = 
| labels = 
| label1...label50 = 
| size = 
| noheading = 
| s1...s50 = 
| manual totals = 
| totals label = 
| <item name 1>...<item name 50> 
}}
</pre>

=== SDRL ===
{{main|Template:SDRL}}
The '''S'''tandard '''D'''rop '''R'''ate '''L'''ine creates the lines containing each user's research.

<pre>
{{SDRL
| total = 
| <s1 value or name of item 1> = 
| <s2 value or name of item 2> =
| <s3 value or name of item 3> =
| <s7 value or name of item 7> = 
| ~~~~
}}
</pre>

=== SDRF ===
{{main|Template:SDRF}}
The '''S'''tandard '''D'''rop '''R'''ate '''F'''ooter does not require any parameters. It will automatically calculate and display the total items and their percentages.

== Copy-paste layout ==
<pre>
{{SDRH
| title = | subject = | labels = yes
| <Item name> | s1 = <Abbreviation> | label1 = <Label>
...
| <Item name> | s50 = <Abbreviation> | label50 = <Label>
}}

{{SDRL | <s1 value> = | ... | <s50 value> = | ~~~~ }}


{{SDRF}}
</pre>

== Example ==
<pre>
{{SDRH
| title = Example | subject = the example container | labels = yes | size = 50
| Bank Access Express | s1 = Bank | label1 = Bank Access Express
| Transmutation Stone | s2 = Stone | label2 = Transmutation Stone
| Black Lion Chest | s3 = Chest | label3 = Chest
| Black Lion Key | s4 = Key | label4 = Key
| Merchant Express | s5 = Merchant | label5 = Merchant Express
| Black Lion Salvage Kit | s6 = Salvage | label6 = Salvage Kit
| Trading Post Express | s7 = Trader | label7 = Trader Express
| Transmutation Crystal | s8 = Crystal | label8 = Transmutation Crystal
| Instant Repair Canister | s9 = Repair | label9 = Instant Repair Canister
| Mystic Forge Stone | s10 = Mystic | label10 = Mystic Forge Stone
| No extra item | label11 = No extra item | i11 = Cross red.png | is11 = 20 | l11=
}}

{{SDRL | Stone = 2 | Key = 1 | Merchant = 1 | Salvage = 5 | Crystal = 3 | Mystic = 2 | No extra item = 9 | Example user. 00:00, 1st example month 2012 }}
{{SDRL | Bank = 5 | Salvage = 3 | Trader = 2 | Crystal = 0 | Mystic = 1 | No extra item = 15 | Example user. 00:00, 2nd example month 2012 }}
{{SDRL | Bank = 7 | Stone = 5 | Chest = 6 | Merchant = 1 | Salvage = 3 | Crystal = 2 | Repair = 4 | Mystic = 1 | No extra item = 8 | Example user. 00:00, 3rd example month 2012 }}

{{SDRF}}
</pre>

...will result in the following display:

{{SDRH
| title = Example | subject = the example container | labels = yes | size = 50
| Bank Access Express | s1 = Bank | label1 = Bank Access Express
| Transmutation Stone | s2 = Stone | label2 = Transmutation Stone
| Black Lion Chest | s3 = Chest | label3 = Chest
| Black Lion Key | s4 = Key | label4 = Key
| Merchant Express | s5 = Merchant | label5 = Merchant Express
| Black Lion Salvage Kit | s6 = Salvage | label6 = Salvage Kit
| Trading Post Express | s7 = Trader | label7 = Trader Express
| Transmutation Crystal | s8 = Crystal | label8 = Transmutation Crystal
| Instant Repair Canister | s9 = Repair | label9 = Instant Repair Canister
| Mystic Forge Stone | s10 = Mystic | label10 = Mystic Forge Stone
| No extra item | label11 = No extra item | i11 = Cross red.png | is11 = 20 | l11=
}}

{{SDRL | Stone = 2 | Key = 1 | Merchant = 1 | Salvage = 5 | Crystal = 3 | Mystic = 2 | No extra item = 9 | Example user. 00:00, 1st example month 2012 }}
{{SDRL | Bank = 5 | Salvage = 3 | Trader = 2 | Crystal = 0 | Mystic = 1 | No extra item = 15 | Example user. 00:00, 2nd example month 2012 }}
{{SDRL | Bank = 7 | Stone = 5 | Chest = 6 | Merchant = 1 | Salvage = 3 | Crystal = 2 | Repair = 4 | Mystic = 1 | No extra item = 8 | Example user. 00:00, 3rd example month 2012 }}
