Template talk:Weapon Infobox

Okay.

Looks like my little plan worked. But only so far.

Three problems with the set-up, as-is: 1) Renaming. "Blaster Pistols" has to become "Blaster pistols". How unfortunate. 2) Usage. Unless the editor enters "Blaster Pistol" for "type" (or some case-variation of that), it won't be entered into "Blaster pistols" - it'll create a new category for it to go into. If they don't enter anything, it doesn't get added to anything. 3) Sub-categories. As the type is "Blaster Pistol", it gets entered into only "Blaster pistols" - not "Blaster weapons", as most of our blaster pistols are.

So three problems.

Feel free to revert Jagtai's "AT-1 Blaster Pistol" if you want to cancel the use of the template. It was just the first one listed under "Blaster Pistols".

To take care of these problems, we could have a template for each kind of weapon - and alterations would be made to the category inclusion for each. We could still use my code for Blaster Weapons, and just add all Blaster template uses to Blaster Weapons, but the other code wouldn't be an issue (after all, who's going to enter "Melee Weapon" for the type of a melee weapon?). --Archangel 06:21, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
