===Outline a consistent table format for "Recipes" sections===
==Plans==
Recently on the wiki's Discord server, the user PalaceSwitcher brought out how inconsistent the recipe tables are for ''Paper Mario'' series item pages. They even went through every page and categorized how the tables on each differ, determining that '''12''' variations exist. 12! Dreadful. Where's the <s>lamb sauce</s> consistency?!
1. Finish making all the recipe tables consistent, and add any missing recipes / fix errors
2. Rewrite body sections of recipe pages


With that said, I think it would be best if we simply come up with a new table format altogether, and then implement it onto all these pages for both consistency and better readability. Many pages are also missing recipes, and this will make it easier for those to be completed. Another issue with how things are handled now is the fact that there is one big table per page, requiring another column to specify which game(s) the recipe is in. Not only does an extra game column make the table clunkier, but it's harder for a reader to spot the exact game they're looking for. Sure, there might be repeated recipes on a page, but I feel the benefits of having one table per game outweigh this negative (which I don't even consider to be one, necessarily). A few pages also incorporate item icons into their tables, which I think should be the case on every page because they really help with readability.
3. Double check [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch) bestiary]] stats


So, here's what I'm thinking the Recipes section of these pages could look like with the new table format. We'll use the [[Mushroom Steak]] as an example, considering it's a recipe found in all three games.
