It's probably a bit overkill using this, but generally it's best to just copy the metadata of a similar item and editing it. For example, if you're making the metadata for {{MetaInline|Sunglasses}} your best bet is to copy the metadata of a close relative, such as {{MetaInline|Health Scanner HUD}}. Sometimes there is no close relatives, in that case just use the closest you have, or a multitude of them and combine bits and pieces to make it work. For example, a backpack has slots just like a toolbox, but a toolbox can't be worn. So ideally you could look at the toolbox and see that there's a "Slot" variable, which you can use for your backpack, and there's a "wearable" variable in the Welding Helmet metadata. More importantly, the backpack belongs to the same category as the welding helmet, namely "Clothing and Accessories" which you absolutely should copy over.

Anyway, enough rambling here's an example from {{MetaInline|Science Goggles}}:
