WTF

I peeked at the template and noticed multiple duplications of this code: {{#ifeq: {{{game|{{#titleparts: {{FULLPAGENAME}}|1}}}}}|{{#titleparts: {{FULLPAGENAME}}|1}}|{{#titleparts: {{FULLPAGENAME}}|1}}|{{{game}}}}} 

The same with better readability

{{#ifeq: {{{game|{{#titleparts: {{FULLPAGENAME}}|1}}}}}
       | {{#titleparts: {{FULLPAGENAME}}|1}}
       | {{#titleparts: {{FULLPAGENAME}}|1}}
       | {{{game}}}
}}

So, it checks if the value of game is equal to the first part of fullpagename.

  • if yes, it prints the first part of fullpagename
  • if no, it prints the value of game

It prints a string equal to game in any case. I'm going to poke around the template a bit to get a better idea what's going on. - Loliturma (talk) 09:11, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

The reason for that is to enable the template to guess it's game in a subpaged structure, so the game= parameter is no longer needed when using subpages - without breaking compatibility with the "classic" page structure of older games. The target is to reduce the number of parameters to the template and make the template more "smart". --hmoeller [ Talk - Contribs ] 10:33, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
Ahhh, now I get the idea. However, the code did not do that: It doesn't work if the game parameter is unspecified. I guess the equal / not equal options were accidentally set backwards? Anyways, it could be simplified to {{#if:{{{game|}}}|{{{game}}}|{{#titleparts:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|1}}}}
human-readable version

{{#if: {{{game|}}}
  | {{{game}}}
  | {{#titleparts: {{FULLPAGENAME}}|1}}
}}
That would print game's value if it is specified, otherwise it will print the first part of fullpagename. Is that what it should do? - Loliturma (talk) 11:28, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
Forgot to mention: in case you need to duplicate a parserfunction in multiple places, it might be a good idea to place it into a template of its own, (eg. {{GetGameName}} or something) to simplify things. - Loliturma (talk) 11:39, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
In fact, a simple {{{game|{{#titleparts: {{FULLPAGENAME}}|1}}}}} should do the trick. I'll check it on my testwiki. For the human-readable versions: those may mess with the spacing of e.g. lists, so beware --hmoeller [ Talk - Contribs ] 11:47, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Renaming the navigation

This discussion is listed as an Active Talk Page.
Please remove this template when the question has been answered.

Can't we make a new template for navigation? At the moment we use Template:{{{game}}}} for the navigation contents, but my Idea is to use a new template Template:{{{game}}}Nav for the links. That would allow us to use the template with the game name e.g. @HomeMate as it was intended: We can put Template:Hgame with its parameters and even additional modivications if required on Template:*game* and use it on the game pages. I think this would be more simple then it is now. --trololove (talk) 11:51, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Indeed that would make it much easier for other contributors to add game pages. I'd say we use
{{#ifexist: Template:{{{game|{{#titleparts:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|1}}}}}Nav 
                   | {{{game|{{#titleparts:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|1}}}}}Nav 
                   | {{{game|{{#titleparts:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|1}}}}} 
}}
so the template will pick {{{game}}}Nav if it exist, {{{game}}} if not. --hmoeller [ Talk - Contribs ] 12:48, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
