We can all wait, so there's no time pressure to post as soon as possible. It would be better that you came back refreshed and in a good mood, rather than vent whichever feelings of tiredness or annoyance you may have onto this discussion.

The thing is, gold efficiency includes all of the calculations you may care to make that follow the path of such a specific comparison. In the case of and, their cost analysis sections list the gold values of each stat. If you wanted to compare the gold efficiency on attack speed alone, you'd just subtract the value of cooldown reduction from Stinger's gold value, and compare the gold value of the attack speed to its price. You argue that this requires some calculation, but if the cost analysis had not been there in the first place, the reader would've had to:
 * Find out the gold value of attack speed by evaluating.
 * Apply this to and find out its gold efficiency.
 * Figured out how to calculate cooldown reduction and identify as the benchmark.
 * Calculated the gold value of health via.
 * Subtracted the gold value of the health on Kindlegem and thereby extract the gold value of cooldown reduction.
 * Perform the cost analysis on.
 * Subtract the gold value of the item's cooldown reduction and thereby identify its gold efficiency with respect to attack speed.
 * Compare said gold efficiency to that on Recurve Bow.

Which, you'll agree, is pretty tedious, especially if you're trying to perform multiple comparisons on lots of different items with a lot of different stats. Having cost analysis prevents having to go through this process every time, and having them on the articles themselves allows for quick and easy comparisons.

The end result is, if you subtract the gold value of CDR from Stinger's gold value and cost (you're paying 317 gold for 10% CDR), you get 143% efficiency, more than Recurve Bow. This, in itself, is proof that a rigorous cost analysis and measure of gold efficiency can correct certain preconceptions you may have had, and thereby tell you something you would not otherwise have known.

I don't quite see why you're so insistent on shoving everything into one same page. The result would be horribly bloated, and needlessly difficult to run through to find the gold value of a particular item when you could just go to the item's article and see for yourself. Trying to hide information from readers on a wiki is disingenuous and, as said before, completely contrary to the core tenets of a wiki. Not to sound like a broken record, but if we are to have this information on the wiki, it needs to be as clear and visible as possible, not hidden away.
