Summon Weapon Modifer Advice is Duplicated on Every Summon Weapon Page
I notice they are all a little different, but suspect they should almost all be identical:

Sanguine Staff: Its best modifier is Ruthless. The Mythical modifier provides the widest array of stat bonuses, but these primarily affect the initial summon rather than the resulting minion. Additionally, minions cannot deal critical hits. The only lasting advantage a Mythical Sanguine Staff has over a Ruthless one is knockback.

Abigail's Flower: Its best modifiers are either Mythical, Furious, or Godly in Pre-Hardmode. Due to its low base damage, all damage-improving modifiers of +10% or greater improve its damage by the same amount. The Ruthless modifier has no lasting advantage over the others mentioned, as it deals less knockback.

Spider Staff: Its best modifier is Ruthless. The Mythical modifier provides the widest array of stat bonuses, but these primarily affect the initial summon rather than the resulting minion. Additionally, minions cannot deal critical hits. The only lasting advantage a Mythical Spider Staff has over a Ruthless one is knockback. Interestingly, the Ruthless modifier on the spider staff grants it +19% damage, rather than +18% damage.

I expect many of these weapons benefit from identical modifiers and think it would be good to have a single, clear, comprehensive statement in the Summon Weapons: Minions: Modifiers article, then in each of these weapons, say, "See the note on Minion Summon Weapon Modifiers ". If any weapon behaves differently, the page could add "with the following differences."


 * Hello. Thank you for your note, but I do not think it is necessary. All pages about items that can be reforged have the note about best modifier (which is added via modifier template). In the case if we decide to replace this note on with the link on the main article, it would be: 1) inconsistent ; 2) inconvenient . If a user wants to read more about reforging in Terraria they can always read this article.
 * P.S.: please, next time do not forget to sign your message by adding  to the end of the last sentence.  17:36, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

Monk's Belt, Huntress's Buckler, Apprentice's Scarf, and Squire's Shield are the same item with different skins
I love the Class Setup Guide, but noticed that the Monk's Belt was left out of the Pre-Plantera Summoning Accessories, so I added it. Then I fought the Old One's Army again and got the Huntress's Buckler. I added it to the page before realizing that it's functionally the same item. I started updating the Monk's Belt and Huntress's Buckler before realizing that there are 4 identical items with different skins: Monk's Belt, Huntress's Buckler, Apprentice's Scarf, and Squire's Shield. Their bonuses don't stack with each other. I don't want to make slightly different updates in 4 places. Can we somehow pick one and make the other 3 pages redirect to it? In the infobox, can we have tabs that show the 4 different skins? Then I could make updates in one place, and link to just the one article in places that should link to it:
 * Pygmy Necklace should list it as an upgrade.
 * Summoner Emblem should include it in See Also (slightly less damage, but +1 minion).
 * Guide: Class Setups: Pre-Plantera should link to just one article (I picked Monk's Belt for now).

I'm happy to do the work, but would like the blessing of an Admin before I start. It would be great if you can point me to another article with an infobox showing various skins, so I could copy the syntax.
 * Hi, sorry for replying too late (I did not notice your second message). Yes, it is possible to create note on one page and then transclude it to other pages. To do this, you can use transclude and  tag. F.e.:
 * Content on a page A:


 * Content on a page B:


 * You can do whatever you want with guide pages, I can always review it later and fix formatting mistakes. — 03:04, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
