In the examples add in correct catagory usage? *Inno* -Dunec

  • Well since the copper hammer example had no anti's I was thinking to include all the catagories, so that on a new item you just delete the catagories that you don't need. Since the template didn't address catagories, I looked to already entered items as a guide. Now I just wish I remembered what item inspired me to do it all goofy The curly tail of a seahorse. --Dunec 11:28, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
    • Oh yeah, all the old items are like that, because they don't use templates. --Poromenos 15:09, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
    • It's good to have someone else using the templates and showing what areas I overlooked in explaining them :). By default, the item template automatically populates the Category:Items and Category:Area. It does Area depending on whether you've filled in the correct area information when you filled out the template. The additional cats variable is only for extra categories, like specific classes, etc. The reason "a copper hammer" example doesn't show anything in this field is because Poromenos was generating these additional categories automatically with some script and I had no idea how to manually come up with the categories. I suppose I could have just faked it. If someone wants to edit the example to show addon categories, feel free as it may give a better idea for other people. Also, it should be noted that while you demo the categories in the example, the actual "here's what it looks like" section never actually contains the categories because this causes havoc on the actual categories themselves (causes the templates to populate all sorts of categories).
