Template talk:Armor function box/Archive 1

Why is this template 50px and the art is 30px? I find them a little big and for many set, the fonction is not link that much to the icon.-- ├ A ratak  ┤  13:04, 14 July 2006 (CDT)

Simplify
I think we can greatly simplify the function table. I propose the following:
 * Profession <-- such as "Warrior" or "Common"
 * Campaign
 * Bonus <-- such as "Armor +15 (vs. Piercing damage)"
 * Insignia <-- such as "Bonelace"

Remove the rest: --Glynnis  14:49, 17 January 2007 (CST)
 * "Armor" (rating) does not belong here because every function page would say 5...80. Armor rating are already described in 2 places (armor crafter and art crafting table).
 * "Energy" and "Energy Regen" are part of basic armor stats not a specific function. (Plus, it varies for each prof.)
 * "Art used" will be replaced by a detailed table in the article.

Changes needed

 * Way to override icon url in case we do use NA-icon.png. I think that the beast info box might tell you how to do this.
 * Does it auto-categorise? I don't even know what the categories are that the articles should be in.
 * Multiple campaign parameters (see armor art gallery box). - BeXoR  [[Image:Bexor.png]] 10:12, 19 January 2007 (CST)


 * The function box template needs some work. I'm still learning about templates so it might take me a while.  I will try to add the NA icon to common and to add multiple campaigns.  The categories are automatically made by the template.  Currently Category: armor and Category: armor.  I want to replace the 2nd with a single category for all armor functions.  What should this new category be called?
 * Category:Insignia armor?
 * Category:Function armor?
 * Category:Armor function?
 * I vote for 1 (but I guess you knew that). >:) --Glynnis  13:48, 19 January 2007 (CST)


 * I'm confused. :S Can I have an example? :P I've asked LordBiro about the icon thing so wait a bit on that. - BeXoR  [[Image:Bexor.png]] 14:23, 19 January 2007 (CST)


 * Gem says the NA-icon would be best for the scenario because most users will understand what it's for. Is there a way to not even have the icon at all? - BeXoR  [[Image:Bexor.png]] 14:32, 19 January 2007 (CST)


 * My question was, in which category do I put the function pages? Category:Insignia armor?
 * I can use for the common functions.  --Glynnis   20:11, 19 January 2007 (CST)


 * Category:Armor functions with a note on the page about what they are, is what I thought. is a bit small though. - BeXoR  [[Image:Bexor.png]]  23:47, 19 January 2007 (CST)

I added the three campaigns and it seems to be working. I have a problem with the NA icon though. The text is unlinked (NA). I want to try to make a conditional function that if the text is "Common" (we will need to create an article) then the icon will be NA-icon.png. I'm trying to figure out how to do that though. --Glynnis  15:04, 20 January 2007 (CST)
 * Oh, and I forgot to say that the categories are automatically generated as:
 * Category:Armor functions
 * Category: armor
 * Category: armor
 * Awesome. Just make a copy of the x template that uses the large NA-icon called Template:NA. Wouldn't that be an easier way? - BeXoR  [[Image:Bexor.png]] 02:02, 21 January 2007 (CST)


 * I tried adding an #ifeq so that if Profession = "NA" then the text will say "Any" and the icon will be the NA-icon.png. It doesn't work.  :(  Do you know who I can ask for help?  --Glynnis   14:54, 23 January 2007 (CST)


 * Stylva or Aratak maybe? I don't know lol :S - BeXoR  [[Image:Bexor.png]] 23:36, 23 January 2007 (CST)


 * I fixed it! Please check the sample armor function pages.  If profession is "NA" the box says "Profession: Any" and the icon is the big x (NA-icon).  I also added multiple campaigns and automatic categories for each.  The "Category: armor" is skipped if prof is "NA".  --<font color="00D245">Glynnis   17:19, 24 January 2007 (CST)


 * Looks good! ^_^ Maybe we can move this and overwrite the old one soon, to save having two boxes. Perhaps move the old one to armor function box old. - <font color=#3E7A90>BeXoR  [[Image:Bexor.png]] 23:39, 24 January 2007 (CST)
