Editing Template talk:H

Would it be easier to have something like a template for these with variables for "hero_name" and "hero_class", or something? Are the names of the images always just "Hero [hero_name] small.gif"?  'Cause if so, I imagine it'd be less work to just have one template with a couple of variables [[User:Ibraesil|Ibraesil]] ([[User talk:Ibraesil|talk]]) 08:55, 20 October 2015 (CEST)

:You are absolutely correct, that would be more simple to have just one template with few variables. And to be honest here, I am not sure this is even wise to do it this way. Anyway, my point here to "easily" create list of hero names + class. This way only <nowiki>{{heroname}}</nowiki> would give just that. Creating a template with few variables would defeat the purpose, e.g. <nowiki>{{hero|heroname|heroclass}}</nowiki> would be the same amount of work than writing "heroname the heroclass". Of course, this is quite a lot of work to create templates. So all in all, not sure which is wiser. :D –[[User:Kapteeni Ruoska|Kapteeni Ruoska]] ([[User talk:Kapteeni Ruoska|talk]]) 10:25, 20 October 2015 (CEST)

I'm not quite sure what the difference is between this and <nowiki>{{Cn|Black Dragon}}</nowiki> [[User:Ibraesil|Ibraesil]] ([[User talk:Ibraesil|talk]]) 03:46, 2 December 2015 (CET)

:Oh yes! No diffrence whatsoever. I actually tried to look for that template but could not find it. Why don't we have one for heroes too, or do we? –[[User:Kapteeni Ruoska|Kapteeni Ruoska]] ([[User talk:Kapteeni Ruoska|talk]]) 07:02, 2 December 2015 (CET)

:Hmm, of course it would be diffrent for the heroes as they also have hero class in their name. And we already discussede wheter or not hero "name + calss" templates are useful. –[[User:Kapteeni Ruoska|Kapteeni Ruoska]] ([[User talk:Kapteeni Ruoska|talk]]) 07:14, 2 December 2015 (CET)

::The closest equivalent to this for heroes would probably be [[Template:Hn]], but I believe you said that you were making the individual Hero templates (like <nowiki>[[Template:Orrin]]</nowiki>, etc.) because those ones include the hero class.  And I ''think'' you didn't want to just add a variable to Hn because you didn't want to have to look up or check the class of a hero every time. (I wrote out this reply and then when I tried to save it, it said there was a newer version of the page, but I'll not change what I had already written) [[User:Ibraesil|Ibraesil]] ([[User talk:Ibraesil|talk]]) 02:24, 4 December 2015 (CET)

:True. I think templates' purpose is to make things easy, and there is no point in writing <nowiki>{{Hn|Orrin|the Knight}}</nowiki> insted of just <nowiki>{{Orrin}}</nowiki>. Of course it would be possible to add all kinds of data to <nowiki>{{Hn|}}</nowiki> so perhaps in the future I will change my opinnion, but for now I would proceed with these hero templates and bury the idea of this kind of creature templates. –[[User:Kapteeni Ruoska|Kapteeni Ruoska]] ([[User talk:Kapteeni Ruoska|talk]]) 06:56, 4 December 2015 (CET)
