Template talk:Battle
From A KoL Wiki
Shouldn't this rather be called Template:Combat? It says Combat! in the game, too! Ukikatzi 14:45, 5 September 2006 (CDT)
- {{Combat}} already exists, and it serves a completely different purpose. --Quietust 14:56, 5 September 2006 (CDT)
- Oops, you got a point there. Ukikatzi
- I like it! Small point - what do you think of changing the message tags from bold to italic (as per the Knob Goblin Assistant Chef example). That way the message tags don't dominate the page as much, plus it better matches the conventions that we use for contingent outcomes (like the Frozen Mob Penguin example). --Gymnosophist 16:56, 5 September 2006 (CDT)
- How's that? --Quietust 19:37, 5 September 2006 (CDT)
- Spiffy! --Gymnosophist 19:55, 5 September 2006 (CDT)

- How about the "occurs at"/"occured at" part? It could automatically categorize "occured at" adventures into "Category:Obselete Adventures". Also, we need to add the other monster info at some point (hp, monster level, element); I don't see why they'd be on the location page but not on the actual page for monsters. See Proposed Standards#Adventure Footer.--Dehstil (t|c) 20:56, 5 September 2006 (CDT)
- This would require adding tags to hold other sections of the page - special combat messages (Boss Bat/Sorceress MP drains, Bonerdagon/Sorceress item+skill+maneuver blocking, Sorceress level restoration), meat/item/stat drops (possibly with stat drops added automatically by specifying the monster level, but with an override for stuff like the Tower monsters, Shadow, and Sorceress), and any other special information we'd want to include (physical resistance, scaling level). If we really wanted, we could go all out and handle noncombat adventures too, renaming this template to {{Adventure}} and renaming the old {{Adventure}} to {{Noncombat}}, but that would be a rather major undertaking and would probably overcomplicate things as well, so let's keep it simple for now. --Quietust 08:53, 6 September 2006 (CDT)
- I agree - let's just get the combat tags done for now. I vote to make this a standard - let's do it so we can roll out the new template. --Gymnosophist 21:15, 6 September 2006 (CDT)
- Alright, agreed. This time we could use Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Battletop instead of Category:Test unless you guys feel more comfortable with the other way.--Dehstil (t|c) 22:38, 6 September 2006 (CDT)
