To use this page type's boilerplate, select "Equipment" under "Content". This boilerplate is intended only for equipment that require a dedicated page. Pieces of equipment that fulfill at least one of the following requirements should always have pages:
- Equipment which appears in at least two games
- Relevance to the plot or the story of quests in at least one media that it appears in
- Dedicated artwork
- The presence of a 3D model
- Interesting and specific profiles (For example: Equipment that alludes to religious concepts and figures as well as specific real-world equipment such as the SPAS-12 should have a page, while generic wooden swords should not be considered to have an interesting or specific profile and would need another reason to have a page)
- Signature equipment, such as the Samurai Sword used by the Samurai of Mikado in Shin Megami Tensei IV.
Other potential qualifiers for a page include unique behavior in itemization, involvement in glitches, unusual or complicated obtainment methods, unique mechanics, and nomenclature data for games released in languages other than Japanese and English. When in doubt, keep in mind that equipment page restrictions are meant to avoid pages which have nothing to discuss other than name, stats, and a basic obtain method (shop, drop, treasure). Equipment without any noteworthy qualities to discuss on a dedicated article should only be listed in a game's Equipment Listing. Equipment that is part of a set, as is the case in some older titles, should share a page detailing the set as a whole. Set pieces that reoccur without the other pieces of the set should receive their own article.
Category:Equipment is included in the boilerplate as a placeholder category, however this should be replaced by specific Equipment in Game Title subcategories where possible, as per the categories guidelines. The Equipment category is only intended to list the specific subcategories.
