Template:ItemBox - Revision history

Henness: Added optional examine support to Template:ItemBox. This allows item pages to place the in-game examine text directly inside the item box instead of mixing it into the main Description section. This keeps the roleplay/flavor examine text separate from the wiki’s practical description of what the item is used for. Also updated the template documentation/example to include the new |examine= parameter, so future editors know how to use it.
