    many things aren't true, like healing from cookings are mostly wrong
    many times i look up things, and see that 1 cooking item doesn't heal as much as the wiki says
    pretty hard to come up with strategies for Skull Cavern, as i was looking at a list sorted on healing
    i should have made this topic when i found more stuff that isn't true ingame, so i could give more examples

    i'm not sure where i need to post this, but there's a sticky about the wiki here, so i posted it here

        Before you edit the wiki, for any items.

        Can you verify that you in fact used the entire item? If you reach the maximum any excess will be ignored.

        For example. if your max is 100 health and 270 energy.

        Eating a Spring Onion when you are at 90 / 260 will report 5 health and 10 energy awarded despite Spring onions listed as 5 health and 13 energy.

        You end up 95 health and 270 energy (full). And the difference is what is reported.

        Also, the wiki also states that there is a bug where the health is being reported incorrectly.
        Bugs
        • When eating healing items, the player gains approximately 12.5% more health than what is displayed in the tool tip.

        If this is what you are experiencing I doubt editing the wiki more is the right choice.

        I as a wiki user have found the results in my games to be pretty similar to the wiki.
        I'd hate to start seeing the wiki change without multiple verification of the change on the forums first. But that is just my personal position and suggestion.

        "I think x is reporting wrong, I get Y, what about you?"
        Then we can test it and see , yes the wiki must be wrong, hey lets change it.

          hmm, salmonberries (lowest quality) healed mostly for 25, sometimes 24, so that seems correct
          but if it's true that the healing shown ingame at the kitchen is inaccurate, it indeed isn't smart to edit the wiki
          i'm no good person to ask/tell to edit such pages, as i make bad mistakes a lot when trying out such coding(?)

          thing is, since i use mods with SMAPI, screenshots i make ingame and paste in paint, show up as white screen, so i cannot prove anything

            sorry to double post, but the wiki says the crystalarium can be obtained by donating 50 minerals OR as reward for the 25,000 gold bundle
            isn't it both?
            i thought to put it here, as it's still wiki related

            to make it easier: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Crystalarium

              The wiki lists 3 methods for obtaining the Crystalarium. All 3 or any one of them can be used to get one. If you choose the Joja route, you can't get one for completing bundles, but if you choose the Community Center route, then you can obtain 2, in addition to any that you craft.

              Aside from the 12.5% healing bug, the healing that you get from items varies. The game rounds to the nearest integer, so sometimes you will get 24 energy/health and sometimes 25 for eating the same item. It's the same with energy consumed by using tools. If you watch your energy drain, you will see inconsistencies in the game.

              There is also an off-by-one bug present on the wiki, that affects the sell price of pretty much any item that comes in normal, silver, gold, or iridium quality. Fixing it would be complicated, since it occurs between two template calls. It's on my "to do" list, though. It just keeps getting pushed to the bottom of the list.

              Also, you can "Edit" a post to add information instead of double-posting. There's a little "Edit" link at the bottom left. ;)

              Hope this helps.

                this was double post, as it was about an article that words something wrong, it says "or" while both ways are possible
                thought making an update with a new post would make more sense, some forums i have seen even have that as standard, as it's an update about something
                and the wiki's articles aren't off by about 1,2 or 2 healing points, but more
                like 1 cooking dish says 90 health, but on the wiki it says 100 or so
