Hey there!

I saw you were trying to make a new Template, but it seemed like it was still unfinished. As such, I'm rejecting its submission to the main Template namespace at this time. Going forward, I recommend you try drafting your incomplete/experimental Templates as subpages for your User page (e.g. User:Chesse/Template:Equipment); when you're experimenting with them later, they work just like a normal Template, you just need to use the full page name (e.g. {{User:Chesse/Equipment}}). If your intent was to make a partial Template that someone else would complete, well, that assumes people know what you're trying to do & have the interest to finish it, and that starts getting into the second point of my post.

I'm a bit unclear on what you think is the use-case of this Template. You use the term "Rarity," but that's not a term that's used anywhere on blaseball.com. Additionally, the decision has already been made that we are making very limited records of Items on the Blaseball website, as they are replaced so frequently that they would be too much effort to record with little return (the exception being for items that seem to have some amount of plot importance, such as the two handed out as part of the tarot draw for the S17 Earlsiesta). With all this in mind, I'm not really sure what you're trying to do here. Further communication with the wiki team, either through the main Discord or through messages on here, helps a lot when you're trying to make Templates, especially ones that engage with such central mechanics as Items.

I look forward to hearing from you!
