		+	This one's just occurred to me - what about the case of items we can be reasonably sure do not drop from enemies/missions at all because they are available through other means, e.g. the shop? Currently the template has no way to accommodate this. The best you can do is leave it blank which causes (in this case) a rather misleading "Unknown" entry. - [[User:Miraglyth\|Miraglyth]] 19:29, 19 August 2008 (CDT)

 * I was considering what you mentioned concerning the use of ''Enemy'' when I started on this.  Using ''Source'' would be fine with me and make more sense when identifying missions and areas as drops.  And on the boss box thing, as far as I know, when a mission is listed, it's always considered a boss box drop. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 10:59, 13 April 2008 (CDT)

 Just throwing an idea around with the second example of something I've been considering for a while.  Using icons in place of text to identify the drop type (weapon, board, line shield, etc.) can save a bit of space.  I could do other examples that mix these two further, but I feel no need since it shouldn't be too hard to imagine elements of either intermingling. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 17:36, 21 June 2008 (CDT)
