This article will explain the formatting [[Guild Wars 2 Wiki:practices and processes|practices and processes]] with regards to the documentation of [[item]]s. While this article will go fairly in-depth, you are not expected to conform to every rule. These are merely recommended guidelines, and you are encouraged to cherry-pick. More experienced editors will come along to fill in the blanks or clean up any mistakes you make.

Copy-paste layouts for various types of item pages can be found at the bottom of this article; use the table of contents on the right to skip directly to them.

== Item infobox ==
{{Main|Template:Item infobox}}

Items are described using the {{tl|Item infobox}}. Basic parameters are outlined below; please refer to the template for a more detailed guide.

<pre>
{{Item infobox
| name = 
| icon = 
| description = 
| hint =
| type =
| rarity =
| value =
| bound =
| salvage = 
| id =
| requires =
| status =
}}
</pre>

=== Other templates ===
The following templates are also commonly used on item articles:
* {{tl|Achievement list}} — Generates a list of achievements, for the items use the 'reward' parameter. This information comes from {{tl|Achievement table row}} used on [[Achievement#Categories|achievement category]] pages.
* {{tl|Contained in}} — Automatically lists all [[container]] items that drop the item. This information comes from other item articles that have used the {{tl|Contains}} template.
* {{tl|Contained in reward track}} — Automatically lists all [[reward track]]s (together with the number and the quantity) that drop the item. This information is gathered with the {{tl|Reward Track}} template.
* {{tl|Contains}} — Used to document items received upon double-clicking the container item. Will cause other articles using the {{tl|Contained in}} template to automatically update.
* {{tl|Dropped by}} — Automatically lists all foes that drop the item. This information comes from [[NPC]] articles that have used the {{tl|Drops table row}} template.
* {{tl|Gathered from}} — Automatically lists all objects that the item may be gathered from. This information comes from [[object]] articles that have used the {{tl|Gather}} template.
* {{tl|Recipe}} — Used to document the [[recipe]] that creates this item.
* {{tl|Rewarded by}} — Automatically lists all [[Adventure|adventures]], [[Dynamic event|events]], [[Story Journal|stories]] and [[Strike Mission|strike missions]] that reward the item. This information comes from other item articles that have used the {{tl|Rewards item}} template or in the case of adventures it's automatically set by the template {{tl|adventure rewards}} itself.
* {{tl|Rewards item}} — Used to document items received upon completeing an event, story or strike mission. Will cause other articles using the {{tl|Rewarded by}} template to automatically update.
* {{tl|Salvaged from}} — Automatically lists all [[salvage item]]s that salvage into this item. This information comes from other item articles that have used the {{tl|Salvages into}} template.
* {{tl|Salvages into}} — Used to document items received upon [[salvage|salvaging]] the item. Will cause other articles using the {{tl|Salvaged from}} template to automatically update.
* {{tl|Sold by}} — Automatically lists all [[vendor]]s that sell the item. This information comes from vendor articles that have used the {{tl|Vendor table row}} template.
* {{tl|Teaches recipe}} — Automatically lists all [[recipe]]s that are taught by the recipe sheet. This information comes from item articles that have used the {{tl|Recipe}} template.
* {{tl|Vendor query table}} — Generates tables for vendors that accept this currency or token. This information comes from vendor articles that have used the {{tl|Vendor table row}} template.

== Copy-paste layouts ==
These are suggested layouts for various types of item pages, based on current conventions. Editors should feel free to alter them as they see fit.

If you're unsure about how to include certain sections, it's okay to leave them out or put {{tl|Section-stub|item}} in place of any text. Documenting on the wiki is an iterative process; we don't expect the first versions to be perfect nor complete.
