Forums: Index > Wiki DiscussionWiki Templates for Pages
Note: This topic has been unedited for 4590 days. It is considered archived - the discussion is over. Do not continue it unless it really needs a response.
The title is pretty self-explanatory, but basically, I've noticed a lack of consistency between types of pages. Main quests and character pages aren't so noticeable, but pages for items like specific armor, gifts, etc, the inconsistency is obvious. It would be great to get a few c/p-able templates (not the tag kind) for the wiki on the Editing Guidelines page.
Example:
<onlyinclude>{{ItemTransformer
|style = {{{style|}}}
|supertype = Armor
|name = Blah Blah chestpiece
|type = [[Blah Blah chestpiece/gloves/boots/helmet]]
|value = 9001
|icon = applicableicon.png
|set = [[Blah Blah Set]]
|material = Red Steel
|tier = 5
|armor = 2.25
|fatigue = 2.7%
|requires = 32 strength
|appearances = [[Dragon Age: Origins]]
}}</onlyinclude>
The '''Blah Blah chestpiece''' is a light/medium/heavy/massive armor piece.
== Armor Description ==
Blah Blah chestpiece was crafted by a master armorer for King Badass III.
=== Location ===
Blah Blah chestpiece is for sale at Wal-Mart.
== Notes and Bugs ==
Blah Blah chestpiece turns your character into a giant squid.

Etc. Thoughts? Imany (talk) 19:05, September 16, 2011 (UTC)
- It would definitely be useful. Currently, there isn't one style for items (although most tend to follow a certain pattern, it is not the "official" one—most contributors probably just copy/paste an already established one). The editing guidelines would need to be updated as there have been some changes since their creation. I would like to make use boilerplates, but we'd need to establish a broader one as well. I can't find a page that has all elements that would be an ideal item page at the moment (Sundering is the page I generally use), so this is what I'd personally follow:
<onlyinclude>{{ItemTransformer
|style = {{{style|}}}
|supertype = Item/Weapon/Armor
|name = [[{{SUBST:PAGENAME}}]]
|icon =
|image =
|px = 270px
|type =
|material =
|damage = Damage <br> ''(damage per second)''
|stats = {{ColorPositiveStat| Stats }}
|requires =
|value =
|location =
|notes =
|appearances =
}}</onlyinclude>
'''{{SUBST:PAGENAME}}''' is a [[item/whatever]] in ''[[game]]''.

The lead and acquisition section tend to change from page to page, which is fine as long as the important things are mentioned. --D. (talk · contr) 02:17, September 22, 2011 (UTC)
