However, a (lootable) chest would, imho, require a different template than a Pack. Also, there is a (sub) category "Chest", and a (Sub)category "Pack". Personally, I'd prefer to have lootable ~~(quest)~~ Chests rather as a subcategory under "Object", since many do have fixed locations.

	:* A new tag allows a single image to link to many pages instead of just a single page as was previously the case with a redirect on the image's description page. Add the parameter '''link=page name''' where the image is used. The image will act as a hypertext link to the specified page. The page name must not be enclosed in square brackets, and it is always interpreted as an internal link. For example, <nowiki>[[File:Pyreal Mote Icon.png\|link=Atlan Weapons]]</nowiki> would link to [[Atlan Weapons]] when the image is clicked. In most cases we will continue using redirects to avoid having to duplicate the link each time the image is used.		:* A new tag allows a single image to link to many pages instead of just a single page as was previously the case with a redirect on the image's description page.
