As I possibly will become a more frequent contributor, I'd like (for now ;) one thing to be clarified: the way of writing the ID, the "code" of an item/spell/whatever into the infobox. What already seems to be consistent is the capitalization: I think all codes I've come across where all-capitalized – which is fine by me.

More important is the addition, or not, of the file type, i.e. *.itm, *.spl, etc. (And for these the capitalization again.) Islandking uses to add the suffix, where most articles he hasn't touched don't use them – at least this is how it appears to me.

My proposal: omit the file type! It should be clear by the article itself in case of an item, and for spells/scrolls it's in the infobox title. Also there won't be anything to confuse because all spells have IDs that are different from the corresponding scrolls. Another point for this is the potential use of the code in the console, where it has to be typed without a file type suffix, e.g. when using the command  for adding an item.

This isn't handled in the infoboxes' documentations and even isn't consistent in the model pages.

What do you think?
