Can't we make a new template for navigation? At the moment we use <code><nowiki>Template:{{{game}}}}</nowiki></code> for the navigation contents, but my Idea is to use a new template <code><nowiki>Template:{{{game}}}Nav</nowiki></code> 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. | Can't we make a new template for navigation?

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}}}}
- 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
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)
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}}}}}
}}
