I understand why this was created. It appears to have outlived its usefulness.

I'm sure that it did what it was supposed to do when it was built. Nowadays, though, it just gets in the way. We see "Not implemented" in many places on the site where we expect to see cost data. I have figured out why. costtest is looking for a line break in what it sees. If it's not there, it tosses out "Not implemented". It just so happens that costs with only one resource have no line breaks in them, so....

The template is deeply embedded in our current structure; it's in Infobox shop, ShopItem, and DecorItem, and possibly more. Therefore, deleting the template won't work until we've revamped those other things.

I propose we delete all content of costtest and replace it with a redirect to cost. Most likely, anything that actually needed costtest has already been converted to current code. If some stragglers do appear, we can go fix those few items and keep going. I'd rather do that than continue to see "Not implemented" all over current data, including the Charlie Shop page I built just today.
