Is there an easy way to convert listed pages into category chart with item properties like augment slots?

If you are thinking about seeing the items with all the details in one table, keep in mind that it's 1000+ items. I fear this might be too much for the wiki.

I don't know how the wiki differentiates between categories to allow table view vs list view.
It works fine for 350 items, but maybe there's a threshold where it just stops displaying the table.

Some quick info about wiki pages and 'table' formats on category pages:
  • Table format requires custom coding by using a query-like plugin (DPL3). i.e. an editor has to manually create some code to generate a table with this info.
  • These DPL queries are hard limited to only show a maximum of 500 items.
  • There is also a limit on how much data can be returned: anything after that will simply not generate (therefore you might generate less than 500 items anyway).
That said, by splitting up these items into smaller tables, it would probably work but I don't think putting a table/tables with 1000+ entries is a good idea here.

Has the just a list of items, is there a way to convert to the listed by min level, etc view?
Generally speaking, once a DPL table like the one we use on main pages gets longer than about 400 rows, it won't show properly due to the page size limit ChickenMobile mentioned earlier (about 2.1MB max per page.) This is why massive categories like items with a particular coloured augment slot or (relevant in this case) items with a very common binding status don't have DPL tables - we simply can't get them to display. (Indeed, some expansions reach this limit on their own - we had to remove all the Dinosaur Bone crafting blanks except the minor artifacts from the list for Isle of Dread just to get the category for Update 55 loot to show.)

It's worth noting that if you're trying to search by bind status, it is possible to sort using that column in other DPL lists, which will split the list into the five main binding states in alphabetical order.

I was actually looking for a quick and dirty list of BTCoE items with various color slots for passing different bound augments around. I had no idea there was such a massive list.

Wait... you can put a bound augment into a BTCoE item and give it to someone else? LOL
(BTW I don't suggest doing this, it seems kindof exploitative)

Anyway...
There's nothing stopping you from creating your own query on a test page Mindos.
or... using DDO Compendium (which is surprisingly better categorised for augments).

DDO Compendium also uses #DPL. So I was able to make a nice list by using the code:
Code:
{{#dpl:
|category=Items with an Augment
|includematch=/\{{!}}\s*binding\s*=\s*btcoe/s
|include={Item}:emptyaugments
|table=class="wikitable",Name,Augments
|count=9999
}}

Or visit linky here to my sandbox just made: https://ddocompendium.com/w/User:ChickenMobile/sandbox

Unbound stuff good to for this purpose. ;)
