OK, so what I'm trying to do is make a drop template that will add new table rows automatically as we need them but will not display them if left blank.  I thought that by using the ''if'' conditional to encase the code for the next row I'd be able to make it display only if ''Enemy2'' were filled in.  I also included the negative area to close the table at this point if ''Enemy2'' were left blank.  Didn't work out at all like I thought it would.  So, anyone (with more experience with these things) got any suggestions? - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 00:20, 13 April 2008 (CDT)

* I found a page that explains how to do exactly what it seems that you're doing. [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Table#Conditional_table_row link] Essentially, the "|-" used to start the next table row is being confused as part of the #if.  The page suggests making a template that contains just the character "|" and use that to build the table inside the #if statement.  Hopefully that makes a little sense. -[[User:Propagandist|Propagandist]] 00:53, 13 April 2008 (CDT)
