Yeah. Well a wiki is a collaboration and not a service. Irregardless, I have reworked the template for artifacts Template:Infobox Artifact so that, rather than just rewriting the entries for 'LA' and substituting 'DC' values, there is now provision for BOTH sets of values to be displayed.

Admittedly, this will mean that some new codecalls need to be copied over from the template page, and then filled in accordingly. This has only been attempted (successfully) on a few pages, e.g. Spring and Snowflake.

There is logic in doing it this way:
 * 1) Who knew that the arts were going to be radically altered for DC?
 * 2) Who knew that it was going to be released in an unfinished state?
 * 3) Who knows if there is EVER going to be a further update?

About point 3) ^^ I will be happy to see a further release that "cures all ills", but after 8 MONTHS and a total of TEN YEARS in development you have to look at this pragmatically. To all intents and purposes, this game is in "Development Hell" by virtue of the leadership gong off plan and not living by their own tenets:

"Have you ever dreamt of playing the old, forgotten S.T.A.L.K.E.R.?"

Instead, there is an attempt (with DC) to insert ALL and EVERY possible item, gun, accessory, etc, in an attempt to be all things to all people.

With a skeleton dev crew...

So it's not a stretch to hypothesize that S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Lost Alpha v1.3003 will be the LAST completed iteration of this monster.

It took 3 years for the DC release to appear. Figure it out.
