Request to auto-filter items by star level

Now that the new tags are in place, would it be hard to make the template additionally autotag everything in subcategories? For example, it would be very helpful to click on a single category and instantly see all "4* helmets" available. This wasn't a problem when the game launched, but with 60 known helmets on the wiki so far, some way of filtering the information would be valuable. --Pauling 20:30, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Since every type of item has a star rating, that would mean 5x for each type of item. This is also the option of grouping, such as X-Star Gear & X-Star Weapons. How do you think players would want it/which method would be more useful? Or would it be a case of needing all of those? --Equinox 21:37, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

There is also 0 star gear, so there'd actually be 6 categories, plus a catchall for "unlabeled". ;) I imagine that the queries would be specific- the whole rationale behind the suggestion is to provide filters so that people can choose the best equipment of each type. Insofar as "3* gear" would still be too broad when choosing which helmet to buy, my thinking was as follows: 1) Each helmet would be part of the broad "helmets" category by default. 2) It would ALSO be part of the "n-star helmets" sub-category. 3) Each "n-star helmets" category would be clearly tagged and listed as a subcategory of "Helmets". (with similar filing for swords, shields, etc) --Pauling 22:12, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
