It would be nice if we could add the [[:Category:Familiars|Familiars]] category to the template itself, so as to not require manually adding the category to the bottom of every page which uses it. Unfortunately, 4 pages ([[Sandbox]], [[Established Standards: Familiar Pages]], [[User:Phelyan]], and [[User:Stik guy]]) which are unrelated to familiars also include this template, making the idea useless. Is there any way to block the inclusion of categories on specific pages to get around this problem (and possibly do the same for other templates as well, such as Adventures)? --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 20:33, 7 June 2006 (CDT) | |||

- I would like to suggest quite strongly that we remove the 'Combat Messages' section from the template. The reason for this is because if you try to go to any wiki page and click 'edit' on the combat messages section, you get an error about it being locked. I do not believe that this is what the desired intention is. --Shagie 20:30, 3 December 2005 (Central Standard Time)
