: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)

Template talk:Orrin (archive)[edit]

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 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 {{heroname}} would give just that. Creating a template with few variables would defeat the purpose, e.g. {{hero|heroname|heroclass}} 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 –Kapteeni Ruoska (talk) 10:25, 20 October 2015 (CEST)

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 [[Template:Orrin]], 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.

True. I think templates' purpose is to make things easy, and there is no point in writing {{Hn|Orrin|the Knight}} insted of just {{Orrin}}. Of course it would be possible to add all kinds of data to {{Hn|}} 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. –Kapteeni Ruoska (talk) 06:56, 4 December 2015 (CET)
