Thanks for noticing! :) I'm currently trying to teach my bot how to best replace the images, best expect this to take a few days. (And yes, a corresponding Gain template will happen as well!)

As for your suggestion of further automating, unfortunately I can't promise much going into that direction. You may or may not be aware of the history of (basically it used to do text-linking too, but was unwieldy for several reasons, so I dropped those features again and made it image-only).

One of the first ideas I had for new templates around here was a general-purpose "gain/loss/…" result template. The more I've been working with the many pages we have, however, the less I found myself believing it could actually be done in a way that improves the workflow for editors. Major issues are: - differences between items, qualities and other results - finding the "right" wording — this either means introducing around thirty templates, most of which editors would need to learn by heart, or introducing around twenty optional parameters (and template code that performs badly to parse them) - properly supporting quality and item caps and their sort order inside categories (this is hard to do even with the almost feature-less new Gain template right now, so I restricted it to quirks only for the time being) - making the results editable and understandable from Visual Editor (that's what ultimately made me scrap old version of I

There's more to this list and I'm not really confident I can tackle all those problems myself and produce something usable. Everybody else is very very welcome to try their luck, however, and I'll assist as best as I can with any questions that arise!

For now my next projects (after finishing quality and quirk Gain/Loss) include converting item sources to Gain, introducing new Item loss categories, and writing Unlock/Lock templates to correctly track item uses. That's going to take the better part of the next two weeks, optimistically, and doesn't include my next vacation plans (I'm writing this from the day in between two such things this very moment, hehe)
