Proposal

May be it's good idea to delete all "slot ??" marks in UNSORTED properties list? And create additional sorted list nearby? --Spinnner (talk) 21:31, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

Not sure how this relates to Alchemy.

What is the problem that our trying to address/solve?

Do note that deleting those invalid-value "?" cases, or blanking those field at the imput page, makes them indistinguishable to "field is not used/applicable for current object/item" vs "Field is used, but its value is currently unknown". (and one can't SMW-search for the latter one)

The only thing that comes to my mind is that it might be possible to intercept those invalid-values cases "?" at the infobox template. And instead of unconditional saving them to there related property, save them to some other general "improper-value/To-be-updated property". But I fail to see any pressing reason/need for that. --.MvGulik. 07:59, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

Property list is only within Alchemy page, section Alchemy ingredients. So it's surely related to Alchemy. It's NOT uploaded from ingredient it'self just plain table there. Phrase before table states: "Properties are not ordered (order is important for processing)." But within table orders somehow seems to matter somehow... It could cause confusions. --Spinnner (talk) 20:40, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

Aha. I see, your talking about the Alchemy-Ingredients table and those "(slot #?)" entries. Yea I kinda see your point. Unfortunately, due to insufficient Alchemy knowledge on my part, I have to refer this question to the other users that have been filling in that table.

If none of them react in a couple of days, I figure you could just implement your idea. And others can than take it up in talk if they object. --.MvGulik. 10:58, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
