Template talk:TitleBars

question on usage
How do i make the LDOA title NOT show up? It says in the template to "include if you're attempting this title" but if I delete that line it bugs our and gives some sort of error. Viruzzz 08:26, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure why this is needed, but by explicitly setting parameter 1 to nothing, I got it to disappear on preview.
 * Specifically, I added:
 *  | 1=  on a line just before the  }} .
 * The template might need a little adjustment, but since so many are using it, I'll stick with suggesting this workaround rather than making any adjustment that'd change how the template is used. Nwash  [[Image:User-Nwash-Eyes.png|link=User talk:Nwash]] 08:42, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * That seems to work, thank you. Viruzzz 08:47, 11 March 2011 (UTC)


 * The template doesn't need adjusting. When you omit an  sign on another parameter, that parameter will be parameter 1, and it'll trigger the LDoA display; fixing that mistake fixes the display.
 * In a perfect world, the LdoA semantics would have asked for "LDoA = true" or " = yes" or whatever, which would have prevented this sort of error from occurring. I checked for other occurrences of this to find out whether it be worth it to add an error check, and it appears only Jink Bonestealer and Miss Blackfeather even use that option (interestingly, in different ways). --◄mendel► 11:29, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I didn't see the missing equal sign, and wasn't sure how 1 was getting a value, so it seemed like some kind of bug at the time. Now it's obvious.  It is less than ideal coding, but at least our messages here should help anyone who encounters the same issue.  Nwash  [[Image:User-Nwash-Eyes.png|link=User talk:Nwash]] 11:38, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Chose a middle ground option. Now it looks specifically for DefenderOfAscalon.  That way, if anyone makes that kind of error, they shouldn't think it's related to the LDoA option.  (Though now they have to notice the missing title bar, but even the "ideal" solution doesn't make that any more obvious.)
