Opinions Wanted: CWs in the Item Directory

So far, we are thinking of letting you search/sort CWs by the following:

• Name (either exact or containing)
• Description (contains certain words)
• Wardrobe layer
• ID number

We are thinking about allowing users to search by releaser as well, but we would like to ask the community what you think about that. Is that something that should be implemented? Would you find it useful? Do you have any concerns about this, or reasons you would NOT want this implemented?

There is other information we could include, such as: batch number, whether a CW was unlimited, and artist. However, since these have always been private, we are not sure about making it into publicly accessible information. We definitely want to carefully consider any concerns, and will not implement anything that could cause problems.

Finally, a general question: What functionality would YOU like to see in an official CW directory?

Please post your thoughts below :) No need to ping, as we'll be watching this thread.

It's going to be its own, separate section. Sorry if that wasn't clear from the post! I tried to make the first sentence clear about that :x

The directory would give us a lot more room for things like item descriptions (and the ability to search by description), item ID number, buttons for shop search and account search (maybe even forum search when that comes back) and gives us room to add more stuff in the future if we should want it :) And maybe CW-specific things like batch limits / releasers.

I might be doing something similar for official items if you've set the filter to show wearables only ;)

For one, people won't see the item info unless they go looking for it. There is already a lot you can find by sleuthing (like the releaser user ID in the image) and I feel like there will always be an "honor system" type of thing because of that and the wardrobe. So I don't think it would be worth the effort to try and hide it in the directory, because people who want the info have to look for it.

So I think what we could do, is make it so when you first search items / go to the directory home page, it just shows the same info you'd see in the wardrobe, so it doesn't actually spoil any more info unless you click on the item. (Does that make sense?)

Last call for opinions/feedback on including the following info for CWs in new item directory:

• Artist
• Releaser
• Batch Amount (Number of batches it was submitted as)
• Retirement status (basically just - is it retired or not)
• Recolors list (for items that have or are a recolor of other items)*

*May or may not be included depending on feasibility

Hoping to release this soon, so here's your last chance to voice any concerns/feedback/suggestions before the release. (Apologies if you get multiple pings from this... I am 99% sure my ping last night did not go through so I'm pinging again today to make sure people see it)
