Template talk:Infobox User

From YPPedia

Help please

Ahoy! I'm going to remove the category tag from the template. I'm concerned that people will use it on their User: pages as you have. User: pages should not be categorized because they're in a different namespace. Please let me know if you have questions about this. --Barrister 14:42, 13 March 2006 (PST)

Sorry I'm still fiddling with the script. Removing the category was on the next edit.
What other fields of info should I add? --Sagacious 05:08, 14 March 2006 (PST)
How about Jobs taken and shop ownerships/management. Satin's son 13:04, 15 March 2006 (PST)
Nod- Stall/Shop/Building ownership would be neat, and perhaps former crews & flags? --Zava 13:40, 15 March 2006 (PST)
Good idea, Oh! and how about Heartys too --Satin's son 11:19, 16 March 2006 (PST)
Heartys would be too long a list for some people! I'll add Stall/Building ownership. --Sagacious 11:38, 16 March 2006 (PST)


Current script with edits in action:
Sagacious at a Glance
Primary Ocean: Midnight
Pirate Icemeister
Others Icex on the Viridian
Title(s) Senior Officer of Sunken Souls
Prince of Black Souls
Started playing February 12 2005
Stalls Owned Icemeister's Furnishing Stall on Spring
Buildings Owned Icemeister's Shack on Spring
Last updated on 16 March, 2006


There are numerous variables, so the infobox is quite adaptable. --Sagacious 12:38, 16 March 2006 (PST)

That's neat! Peek at my user page to see what I had in mind... One template doesn't seem to present multiple oceans well, but several does the trick. Some questions and comments:
  • How do I get rid of the "Stalls Owned on" line if I own no stalls? Same for buildings. I may own a shack or 6, but I'm not going to list them. :)
  • Would "Stalls Run" work better?
  • Space for portrait links?
Once I sort out how to poke the ToC over to the right hand side or supress it, it'll be nice. And I broke one, somwehere.. but I have no idea which one it is. Messes with the format a bit - (check out [edit] [edit] [edit] [edit]), but I'll get it. Hehe. --Zava 13:30, 16 March 2006 (PST)
You broke it already? Damn... I was worried about making the insert script too long, but I think I can get away with making the Stall and Building bits appear as needed. I'm going to explain which bits of the code take yes/no decisions, and which bits can be deleted if not used.

You missed off the required 'yes/no' response for moreshoppe on the first infobox - hence the breaking ;-) --Sagacious 13:38, 16 March 2006 (PST)

My attempts to change the code to be even more flexible by missing out irrelevant info failed and I've had to revert a give up on it tonight ;-) --Sagacious 15:49, 16 March 2006 (PST)

What about a 'Favourite Puzzle' tag? I'm going to attempt my flexability reworking again tomorrow. --Sagacious 17:00, 20 March 2006 (PST)

Please don't take this the wrong way but.... Bletch! Let's stick to objective, verifiable data. --Barrister 17:14, 20 March 2006 (PST)
Fully taken the correct way - I was just thinking of ways of making it interesting ;-) --Sagacious 17:23, 20 March 2006 (PST)

Major Edit

This article has had the {{inuse}} (Usage) template applied for a long time. Is it still applicable? --AtteSmythe 09:53, 18 July 2006 (PDT)

I intend to revamp it, probably after this phase of building image templates. I stopped working on it because it got quite complicated - but now we have default values it should be easier to get it right. I think it still has a use. --Sagacious (talk) 09:57, 18 July 2006 (PDT)

Still useful?

This page is inactive since march 2006, noone is using this template for real, only in some sandboxes. What should be done with this article? Ameliepoule 06:56, 23 September 2007 (PDT)

It's not causing anyone any harm as it is, is it? -- Thefirstdude (t/c) 07:09, 23 September 2007 (PDT)
