GamerWiki talk:TemplateTemplates

This is pretty useful, especially for new users. A few suggested changes:

include the body text in the stuff to be cut and pasted once it's all run through - Even if the game's multiformat it's useful to do it once first (and it makes it a lot easier for us if we then want to template it).
the format in the clickable title is wrong - it comes up with "SWAT 4 (Personal Computer)" instead of "SWAT 4 (PC)". Some sort of lookup needed?

Otherwise, very good! Xevious 11:46, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Cool stuff. :)

The body text is going to need to be pulled through either from another part of the array or from someplace else. If this isn't done, then the code is going to become bogged down in template-specific hard coding. I'll mull this one over.
I hadn't thought about the differences in platform & short cut. :( Yeah, a quick look-up table should suffice. Again, fitting this into code so that it remains versatile for multiple templates is key. I know it's currently only being used for GameInfoBox & SystemInfoBox, but the code should work for any template & I don't want to break that if I can help it: it could easily be extended to the PersonInfoBox by adding the necessary $wgTemplateTemplates['PersonInfoBox'] variables.

Glad you like it. :D --Barthax 13:57, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
