Is there any logic as to when an item gets an {{template|Item}} template on an article? For example, that template is used for every item on [[Legendary artifacts]], but for the "main articles", its usage is restricted to [[Drive]], [[Colored orbs]], [[Timespace orbs]], and [[Dragon Stones]], while it's absent from [[Silver and Rainbow Wings]] as well as all others that only deal with a single item; the template is absent from the [[Fossil]] page (that's been linked to from the main {{template|Items}} template), as well as the individual fossil pages.

(Personally, I've often found myself browsing pages real quick just to grab that template; its design is remarkable, and it contains the most important info. We seem to prefer to direct to the most specific articles, of course, including when just typing something like "Red Orb" or "Helix Fossil" in the search bar. I can understand how the template's inclusion on single-item articles in particular ''may'' counteract a good article (design), though. I mean, the "main articles" technically do contain the information from the super-articles, but they do sometimes lack the template.)
