I really like what you did there. Keeping all those different lists is a nightmare! Based on the options you give, I would prefer the qualifier lists where you simply put in all the possible parameters. The syntax is easier and we won't run into problems if at some point an item will be available at two holiday events.

Just to be clear: If a new item is introduced to the game, we will still need to create an item page, PLUS an entry in the respective item module list, yes?

If we use this, we need to add a good documentation and link the tables in a prominent place. I've had a look at the image-list and unless I missed someone, there were just five people who edited the list over the past year. I think for most occasional contributers, it's basically "magic" when images are automatically associated with item names. We should try to avoid the same happening with those lists.

I would also like to point out that I'm not a fan of the syntax. Unfortunately, I don't have a better idea. But I can already see a number of potential errors, like a missing comma after the final closing bracket for an item. Something that breaks the whole table and is super difficult to spot.

But don't let my nitpicking deter you. I think this is a vast improvement over keeping all those list-pages up-to-date.

Edit: One final thing: It's not possible to create lists like Stat-reducing items with this, is it? It's not a huge issue, just something I noticed. In fact I'm not sure if there are more lists like that.
