The basics
Item pages are simple to create. They all contain three things:
- Template:Infobox Item Stats (Diablo II)
- A navbox
- Categories
In addition to that, you can optionally add a short description of the item or set in question at the very top of the page. You can also adda trivia section after the template but before the navbox. Neither of these are necessary to add however.

What to remember
The grey box ahead shows all fields in the template. The sections that are not needed for an item are naturally omitted; in regular cases, a sword wouldn't have defense, block, kick damage etc. Depending on what item page you are about to create, only some of these fields will have to be filled out. The rest of the fields can either be left empty or deleted. Leaving them empty doesn't do anything visibly to the article, but they will make it bigger and thus might take longer to load.
All information is preferably gathered from the item section of Arreat Summit. Find the item you are going to create a page for, and copy the information over to the template. Defense values go into Defense1 for the first item, Defense2 for the second item etc.
The template supports up to five items in a row, meaning after Name1 and Name2 there's a Name3, Name4 and Name5. Same for all other fields.
Fields which have multiple lines, in the above example Attack Speed, Properties, Partial and Full Set Bonuses, need to have double linebreaks between each line to keep the cell formatting.
Color has to be applied invidivually to properties in the Properties, Partial and Full Set Bonuses fields. This is done by placing the following text in front of every line:
<span style="color name">
Normally a would be needed after the text, but because of the double linebreaks used previously, that's not necessary. The two colors used in the this template are web colors called lime and royalblue.
Navbox
After the template comes the navbox. They are included just like templates:
{{Navbox name}}
A list of navboxes can be found here: List of navbox templates
Categories
Last comes categories. Categories are specified by item type and game. A pair of gloves would thus appear in one category, while boots would appear in another.
[[Category:Gloves (Diablo II)]]
This category would be used for regular glove articles and unique glove articles. For sets including gloves, the redirect of the glove page will be categorized as above, while the set page itself would not be categorized under gloves.
