*Yeah. I did look into adding the ability for multiple characters, but two solutions I saw were using a second template which people repeat for each character a la the "Luck row" template, or using an <nowiki>{{#if:}}</nowiki> function, which for the life of me I couldn't get to work because it requires the same | symbols that tables do >.< - If I could work out how to avoid that conflict, it'd be a breeze to implement. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 15:28, 25 November 2006 (PST)

:Yeah. Trying to work this one out, I've made a complete embarrasment of myself as seen in "Recent Changes". If you use {{}} to group the "then" argument necessary, the {{ and }} appear on the table and look stupid. But if you don't use them, the table pretty much breaks.

Thoughts?

  • Actually this is only a suggestion for the time being. PSUPedia is a wiki about the game, not it's players. Thus making a template for something like this isn't necessarily "on topic" as far as the wiki goes.
That said, I have noticed a few people who had cloned the profile in my User page, something which if becomes semi-common practise, would benefit from standardisation such as this. Basically looking for input on whether this is a good idea or not. - Miraglyth 10:54, 25 November 2006 (PST)
  • As long as people think it's convenient, it's great, I guess. As long as we're not going to tell people "NO STOP YOU SHOULD USE THE TEMPLATE" or something there shouldn't really be any problems about this. On a sidenote, there isn't really an easy way to use this template for multiple characters without getting the bold description row multiple times as well. One possible way to get around this would be to use parser functions to allow the first line to be turned on/off using parameters or something. I've also considered using different templates for the two lines, but that'd probably be more of a pain. - Tycho 13:37, 25 November 2006 (PST)
