Red Dragon's Plasma Spit
Thanks for the wiki contribution! Nice job for your first entry! :)
This is an interesting item as it's the one type of "Spit" ammo which doesn't appear to drop according to the Net-7 DB; did you actually find some of this ammo? Have some I can analyze? lol
As you may have noticed the wiki entries are largely based on the Net-7 DB, e.g. https://www.net-7.org/#item/Red%20Dragon's%20Explosive%20Spit which is why the template doesn't currently have a field for Maneuverability and "Ammo" which isn't a great name, but I guess it's shared with the launchers so you can link them together. Unfortunately I've already got an ammo_type (for missile vs. projectile) so maybe this should be something like ammo_sub_type? If we had this field though we might be able to do some automatic matching up of launchers and their ammo types though which would be cool. As of now there is just a lot of duplication of information (the bane of any wiki). Nice find on the NamedRow's, this is precisely the sort of thing they were originally defined for, but I've found them to be quite limiting and problematic so I've been moving away from them.

- There is no real good way to communicate back and forth on a wiki; these talk pages are a hack and not very convenient because, as you may have surmised, if you reply on your own talk page, I don't get notified. As one of the wiki maintainers I monitor all the changes anyway, so rest assured I will see your message no matter where you post it, but that isn't generally true for everyone. Posting on someone's talk page is the one surefire way they'll see it since it pops up at the top of the page for them until they go read it.
- Having said that most people just respond in a thread under a section heading like this, some tips on doing that can be found at Contribution_Guidelines#I'd_like_to_comment_on_a_high-level_topic_about_a_page,_where_do_I_do_that?
- What's your main in-game? I'd love to get a sample of this ammo if you have extras!
