Template talk:Planetbox 2.0
From Kerbal Space Program Wiki
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)
- 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)
- *facepalm* I am sorry, i keep forgetting to add my signature. I know i should. So if i change the ?? to N/A, the name should disappear??? Thanks! I will admit that i pretty much used the old template (because it was pretty good) and just updated it completly. No to finish off with my signature;) --Azivegu (talk) 13:52, 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)
- This is an updated version of the original Planetbox Template. The reason why is because we know have lots of information on atmosphere (which will play an ever larger role in the near future) and i completly reorganized certain values so it is clearer and more informative. --Azivegu (talk) 13:55, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
