User:Lesoria/Sandbox/Proposed Templates

Revision as of 22:15, 10 February 2006

Let's see if anyone spots this, or if I'll have to pass it around to be seen.

I'd like to propose a template for each game, to make it easier to link to games.

An example template would be:

{{TMC}} -> [[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]

The latter is written a lot, isn't it? The former would be easier, wouldn't it?

Example, before:

Link meets Ezlo in {{TMC}}. They continue to travel through TMC together.

And after:

Link meets Ezlo in The Minish Cap. They continue to travel through TMC together.

Good idea. One thing to keep in mind is some games will need more than one abbreviation. For example, sometimes it sounds better to write Wind Waker and sometimes it sounds better to write The Wind Waker. So we'd need two templates:

{{TWW}} -> [[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]] {{WW}} -> [[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|Wind Waker]]

If any of these doesn't show up properly, it hasn't had a template made yet. The ALttP ones are a bit difficult. Should the "SNES" and "GBA" show up in them? What if you want it without this?
