Template talk:Infobox flagblockade1

Okay, I'm going to try this and test it out. If it booches, I'll try and fix it. However, my knowledge of templates isn't that strong, so I may need a bit of help perfecting this one.

Essentially, it goes on a flag's page, and lists the blockades associated with that flag. --Pip^(t|c|p) 07:32, 12 March 2006 (PST)

This may be a little difficult to do due to the variable numbers of blockades. Take a look at the Template:Infobox flag one for how islands are done with a lot of nested templates if you haven't already. It could be that styling it after the language templates might work better using a separate template for each total number of blockades. --Guppymomma 07:37, 12 March 2006 (PST)

This is proving more difficult than I thought. I'll have to return to it soon. If someone wants to keep trying, feel free. --Pip^(t|c|p) 07:54, 12 March 2006 (PST)

You were just missing a |-, but you had the right idea with things. I'd suggest removing the 's from the header due to flags that end with an s. Pages of some flags would get terribly long with a whole string of these (Looterati especially), but I'm not sure what to suggest as an alternative. Perhaps a large table? --Guppymomma 07:59, 12 March 2006 (PST)

Thanks! I think it might be best to do a 'first blockade' infobox, and then a 'further blockade' infobox. --Pip^(t|c|p) 08:23, 12 March 2006 (PST)

I don't think we need a "last updated" field for these templates. Once the correct information is entered, the fields won't need to be updated. --Barrister 10:13, 19 March 2006 (PST)

Blockade linking

I propose linking the blockade to its entry in the blockade history...though it might make quite a bit of work for the one who does it. --Thunderbird 22:17, 29 March 2006 (PST)

Actually, it should be pretty easy. Take a look at Template:Blockade. --Barrister 00:57, 30 March 2006 (PST)

Old News

Is this template deprecated? --AtteSmythe 11:50, 6 July 2006 (PDT)

Bah. Silly redirects. By "this template" I mean Template:infobox flagblockade --AtteSmythe 11:51, 6 July 2006 (PDT)

And, since Template:infobox flagblockadef works well in a table, this template may now be redundant, as well. --AtteSmythe 12:37, 6 July 2006 (PDT)
