Template talk:Factions
From WoWWiki
I think this is a bit wide for every faction page. Could someone put a button like on the Table of Contents that can hide the factions that don't belong to the same category and that will show them on clicking ? This is kinda optional but would suit better the human eye (ask Ragestorm).--K ) (talk) 11:30, 12 November 2006 (EST)

Not a Stub
This page is a navigation template for factions, not a stubbed article.--Hobinheim 15:36, 12 November 2006 (EST)
- I stubbed it because I know horde factions from Outland are lacking. --Adys 17:18, 12 November 2006 (EST)
Removal of Alliance/Horde Forces
I know it's sort of deceptive, since the battlegrounds forces are separate from the main factions. But. WoWWiki does not have seperate articles for either the Alliance Forces nor the Horde Forces. Both redirect to just Alliance/Horde. And the navigation bar just works better if it's coded the old way.--Hobinheim 15:45, 12 November 2006 (EST)
Use Faction Template for New Factions
Simple. Be sure to add {{Factions}} at the bottom of new faction pages.--Hobinheim 15:51, 12 November 2006 (EST)
How a Navigation Template Should Work
Make sure the place where the ilnk is pointing to is where the page finally resolves (no redirects). It makes the navigation bar look nicer when you actually look at the page.--Hobinheim 16:18, 12 November 2006 (EST)
Some Alliance, Some Horde
Some of the miscellaneous factions actually favor the one faction over the other. Maybe they shouldn't be listed under outland or miscellaneous then? I dunno. I guess it depends on how pivotal they are in the burning crusade, or how familiar their names will sound to each faction. They probably will be merged in some day, resulting in the removal of their individual faction badges and relocation to the appropriate faction.--Hobinheim 21:15, 12 November 2006 (EST)
Scale of Sands
Starts with an S. The 'The' isn't that important.--Hobinheim 15:38, 17 November 2006 (EST)
Mudsprocket?
Should we add Mudsprocket to Steamwheedle Cartel, even if it is a very small town?--slxception (me/speak) 00:27, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
Exact faction names
In response to Sky2042's undo of my edit:
I guess your reason is avoiding redirections. May I suggest renaming all faction's pages to their official names (those that appear in reputations tab)? TAP3AH 09:16, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
- Quoting policy is fun, so ... WW:NAME should help:
- These articles should also not include definite or indefinite articles ("the" and "a/an") at the beginning of the page name. For example, use First War to refer to the event, not The First War. There is an important exception to this rule: "the", "a" or "an" is included when it would be capitalized if it appeared in text. This applies to, quest articles, guild articles, titles of books, games, and similar works.
- If any of the factions are written with a capitalised indefinite article, certainly. Off the top of my head, I don't know which (if any) do. Kirkburn talk contr 17:48, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
Class Icons
I added icons to three factions: Ravenholdt, Cenarion Circle, and Knights of the Ebon Blade, for which classes they respectively apply. If you think they shouldn't be there, go ahead and revert, I just thought they might help navigation for those classes a little. Omniferous (talk) 00:49, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
