Should this template add a "location" entry for items earned in the [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Special Demo Version|ORAS demo]], or should those items just be placed in the ORAS entry and noted that they have to be transferred from the ORAS demo once they've been earned?

== Edit request ==
This line <code><nowiki>{{#switch: {{{dispgen|IV}}}|I|II=&amp;nbsp;|III|IV|V=</nowiki></code> needs to be changed to <code><nowiki>{{#switch: {{{dispgen|IV}}}|I|II=&amp;nbsp;|III|IV|V|VI=</nowiki></code> to allow the sprite to be displayed for Generation VI. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 04:05, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
== WiiWare Mystery Dungeon ==
It's lacking locations and description entries for these. [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 16:28, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
== Update needed ==
[[Special:Diff/2463976|A special case]] with the Storage Key kind of requires a DP-only location parameter (''locdp''). Currently there's only ''locdppt'' and ''locpt''. (I'm kind of just leaving this here as a low-priority reminder for whenever there's time/attention.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 16:34, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
== No support for three sprites? ==
Some items, like the Red Orb, have three sprites, but the template does not allow for more than 2. --[[User:Celadonkey|<span style="color:#98CC00">Celad</span>]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|<span style="color:#FFC37D">onkey</span>]] 18:58, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
== Add link to item's main article ==
Can someone please edit the template so that the "name" at the top links to the item's main article? People aren't going to see the link if it's only a line of normal-sized text at the bottom right corner. [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 19:29, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
== SMUSUM descriptor parser ==
Just like with previous generations, I think there should be a descsmusum parser (and by extension, buy, sell). [[User:Ht14|<span style="color:#AB2813"><sup>'''''ht'''''</sup></span>]][[User talk:Ht14|<span style="color:#00A000"><small>''14''</small></span>]] 04:47, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
== This needs to be updated for LGPE ==
Just saying. It's already been a while. [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 01:14, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
:Still needs LGPE support. [[User:DKqwerty|DKqwerty]] ([[User talk:DKqwerty|talk]]) 04:00, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
== Main article link ==
By now almost every item already has its own article (and any that eventually doesn't will probably get one soon), so I think it makes perfect sense that the name of the item in this template links to the actual item article. We already have the links in the bottom, but it's not intuitive at all, and a lot of people may miss it. [[User:Suic12-|Suic]] ([[User talk:Suic12-|talk]]) 14:25, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
:Strong agree. I don’t really have much else to say. --[[User:Celadonkey|<span style="color:#00A1E9">cela</span><span style="color:#BF004F">donk</span>]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 15:01, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
::Didn't I already suggest this over one year ago? Either way, I agree. [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]], [[Special:Contributions/Sumwun|contribs]]) 15:04, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
:::To spare work and time of the admin that may make this change to the template, I created [[User:Suic12-/Template:Item|a new version]] that is already working fine, so this template here may just be upgraded with the code of the one I made, after which mine can even be deleted. The change I made does not require any change to the parameters in the pages that use the template, and is aesthetically identical to the one we have now (except that it doesn't have the "''Please see the main article for more information.''" in the bottom). I also included a few examples to make sure it works the way it is supposed to. [[User:Suic12-|Suic]] ([[User talk:Suic12-|talk]]) 19:48, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
::::I've made this change. I've been hesitant to do it because I want this template purged from existence, but it seems as though it's not ready to be deleted yet. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 12:46, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
:::::Just curious, is it for any particular reason? I've noticed that it has kind of been phased out over BP as well. --[[User:Celadonkey|<span style="color:#00A1E9">cela</span><span style="color:#BF004F">donk</span>]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 15:38, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
::::::It's currently still used in a lot of places. What to put in its place (or whether anything should be put in its place, in some cases) still needs to be worked out on many pages that currently use it. But my hope is to continue to decrease the number of pages that use it over time, until there are no pages that do and this template can be safely retired. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 10:26, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
== Just to confirm- is this template being phased out? ==
I'm just wondering if it's the admins' intent to phase out this template, just so it's clear what future edits are needed for existing articles. [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 04:10, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
:That's the plan, yes. There's not currently any substitute for Mystery Dungeon items, however, so it still has valid uses at the moment. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 11:27, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
== Rescue Team DX Request ==
Since there isn't an alternative for Mystery Dungeon proposed yet, can PMDRTDX be added? Thanks! --[[User:Xigzagoon|Xigzagoon]] ([[User talk:Xigzagoon|talk]]) 16:05, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
:I've updated the template to support Rescue Team DX. Use <code>descmdrtdx</code> for the description and <code>locmdrtdx</code> for the location. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 10:19, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
== Update for Scarlet and Violet ==
Can the template be updated to support Scarlet and Violet? [[User:Ruinedstego|Ruinedstego]] ([[User talk:Ruinedstego|talk]]) 20:52, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
: In addition to gaining location and description support, can there also be a size restriction on the sprites? The ones in SV are really large compared to other games and this affects the sizing of the template when those images are called, so making all sprites automatically resize to something like 32x32px would make everything more uniform. [[User:Ruinedstego|Ruinedstego]] ([[User talk:Ruinedstego|talk]]) 22:21, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
::Is there anywhere where that would actually be needed? We tried to have dedicated item pages (at least for core series items) by now, so I was wondering where this template would actually be required to be used? [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 14:13, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
:::Right now the template's used on all of the [[List of Key Items (Generation VIII)|List of Key Items]] pages. Right now the [[List of Key Items (Generation IX)]] page is redlinked and I was hoping the template could be updated so the page could be made and look consistent with the others. [[User:Ruinedstego|Ruinedstego]] ([[User talk:Ruinedstego|talk]]) 17:56, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
::::That template is a bit of a mess, so I'm afraid I'll have to have a look and won't be able to do it right now, but I'll try to add that location and description support in when I have some more time, by the weekend at latest. Thanks for your request. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 19:34, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
