Forum:Create Template:Chars

Forums: Index → Proposals → Create Template:Chars

This discussion is in regards to a proposed change on SmashWiki. The discussion must first meet with a consensus before it is implemented.

Hi there this is my first time writing a proposal. So this is about smasher's infobox, we have been putting cleanup tags for smasher pages that are too difficult to have the characters cleaned up immediately. So since I got shouted out, how about creating a template that distinguishes the normal cleanup that has to do with paragraphs/sections with the actual infobox cleanup, and call it "chars" or something. Yeah I know that a bunch of infoboxes were already cleaned up but it could still come in handy. There are other variations of the cleanup template such as Template:Tone that isn't used that many times. The template should show something like "This smasher article may require a cleanup to its infobox due to excessive characters listed". NPM Morr!? 01:59, May 24, 2022 (EDT)

Support Sounds like a good idea. --Meester Tweester (talk) 22:55, May 25, 2022 (EDT)

I don't deal with the competitive side of the wiki, so I won't give a vote one way or the other, but I wanted to voice that I think a different name may be better. Perhaps t:Char-cleanup to match t:Competitive-stub and t:Smasher-stub. When I think of a Chars template, I imagine something like t:Head that allows for multiple heads like t:StickerHead or t:Sm. --CanvasK (talk) 23:11, May 25, 2022 (EDT)

Yeah, that sounds good. Actually there is a Template:Characters already so maybe it would be confusing to just name it chars. And because of the distinction, there needs to be a new cleanup category. Possibly name it "Smasher articles requiring infobox cleanup" something like that. NPM Morr!? 01:42, May 26, 2022 (EDT)

Actually I believe that the subcategories can just follow Category:Articles_with_deprecated_code so that just in case if there is like for example a Infobox Tournament Series that needs to be cleaned or something. And maybe we should just call the template Infobox-cleanup instead idk. NPM Morr!? 03:17, June 2, 2022 (EDT)

Bump, with more clean up tags being added, I can see this becoming necessary as it can conveniently distinguish the infobox cleanup. And the infobox cleanup category should be in the Category:Meta categories too. NPM Morr!? 13:01, June 9, 2022 (EDT)
