Template talk:Planetbox 2.0

Why is this a separate page? Just merge it with the old one.--Craigmt1 (talk) 20:13, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

Agreed. I've modified the old one so that if an argument is specified as "N/A", that row won't show up. This way we can add attributes for atmospheric properties, for example, without polluting the infoboxes of celestial bodies with no atmospheres. — Elembis (talk) 02:17, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

You mean, if the argument's blank? I can set up RoboJeb to delete N/A from planetbox args, if you'd like. -- N3X15 ^{(C · T · E)} 02:29, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

My thinking was that a blank argument might simply mean it was added to the template and not specified on some pages that used it -- in that case, you'd want "??" to appear (or something similar) until someone filled the information in. In other cases, fields are simply not applicable, so it seemed like using a value of "N/A" for that was the right thing to do. — Elembis (talk) 02:33, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

If you could do that, that would be great. That is kind of the reason why i also put in the value: Atmosphere Present. That way you see it real quick. The reason i added atmosphere is because i see it becoming ever more important and i believe it wil occupy an ever growing role. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Azivegu (talk • contribs)

It's already done. =) Check out how Template:Planetbox uses Template:PlanetBoxRow, especially down toward the end. The latter takes 3 arguments: name ("Radius"), value ("320"), and units ("km"). If the value is "N/A", the row isn't displayed.

By the way, you can sign a comment easily by adding "~~~" to the end of it. The wiki will turn that into a signature automatically. (Four tildes will make your signature include the date, too.) — Elembis (talk) 07:24, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

Redundant template?

Does this mean that no pages should be using this template any more?

Currently I see there are two pages that use this template. Thecoshman (talk) 07:49, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
