Jemann, thanks again for responding. I have to admit I'm a little confused by your reasoning. If you already have the item, of course looking at it in-game is probably faster (unless you're in an inventory-inaccessible area!). But what if it's an item you don't have? I mean, if we only included info on the wiki that did not exist in a relatively accessible form somewhere within the game itself, couldn't we just throw out a solid half of the wiki, leaving only guides, CP tables, and action result pages? I feel like a pretty central role of the wiki (any wiki, really) is providing a handy, centralized, interconnected lookup for information that, sure, one could find elsewhere (assuming one is at the exact right point in the game), but without the constant, easy access, searchability, and metadata aplenty that a wiki-type database provides. One could argue that including flavor text anywhere on the wiki, for instance, is frivolous, but if we make that call, then our whole enterprise here starts (in my view) to seem rather questionable.
