Template talk:Removedfromgame

From WoWWiki

Split

Perhaps we should have 2 templates, one for articles, one for sections. They could have differing wording to make it clear that the section version applies narrowly. --Beep2 12:43, 1 January 2007 (EST)

I concur.--Voidvector 23:30, 1 January 2007 (EST)

Implemented without creating another template. {{Removedfromgame|<reason>|<article or section>}}, otherwise it uses the previous wording. --Pcj 23:27, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

For simplicity and smaller template there's {{rfg-section}}. gOurra[T҂C] 23:21, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Patch

For recordkeeping purposes, could we have a patch field for this template?

For example, perhaps {{removedfromgame|patch=2.3.0}} could return a statement that says:

The active wiki link to the patch's article, of course, being somewhat important :) I'd do this myself, but I'm not entirely sure I know how ^_^ Hekirou 17:58, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Reason

There appears to be no reference to {{{1|}}} in the template code, which I gather to be the "reason" arguments. Certainly, when I tried to provide a a reason, it didn't change the template output in the slightest. I'm going to try to fix this, but I'm completely new at template editing, so apologies in advance if I fuck up. Happily, there's always the magical revert command.

Holy crap, it worked! The only problem I have now is... is that the best place to put the reason output? But if nothing else, at least it's back. I'll let other people decide if they like where I put it, I'm too happy that it worked to care where you put it :D

One more problem though. What if you just want to say {{removedfromgame|<article>}} without a reason? Templates are complicated things, aren't they -_- Hekirou 18:07, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

You'd add an extra | → {{removedfromgame|<>|<article>}}.

Expansion

With more and more things being removed from the game, perhaps it's time to expand this template just a little more, along with the categories.

{{removedfromgame|<reason>|<article or section>|<Quest, NPC, Mob, Item, Object>}}

Though I guess object and item could just share. Sssssssssssssssssssssssss For Pony! ^{{TDon't hiss at me.•CIf you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.)} 22:24, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
