The localised headline

Hi! Does it possible make at this wiki the localised headline for non-English pages by DISPLAYTITLE? I was trying use it but it isnt working... TF2 wiki use it and is working! What do you think about it?--Vitduo (talk) 23:13, 29 August 2014 (CEST)

But the Russian page doesnt use dispaytitle look here. Its strange--Vitduo (talk) 23:21, 29 August 2014 (CEST)

I looked into it, this is how they do it: They have implemented display title in Template Item infobox, the displaytitle is automatically the same as the name parameter in that template. I don't know why the germans added the displaytitle tag into the actual article, that isn't necesarry. I think it's best for this wiki to just start by placing the displaytitle tag in every article, we'll think about a better way later. TheWombatGuru (talk) 23:27, 29 August 2014 (CEST)

But I am not sure that the displaytitle works--Vitduo (talk) 00:03, 30 August 2014 (CEST)

The magic word DISPLAYTITLE seems to be disabled, we'll look into that later. TheWombatGuru (talk) 10:26, 30 August 2014 (CEST)

Template:Crafting

Hi, just saw you removed the output field of the template. Did you have thought about recipes that produce more then 1 items like Land mines for example? FatMcK (talk) 23:18, 14 October 2014 (CEST)

Hello, I did not remove the output field of the template. I added a shortcut for the template: When not calling the output parameter it will evaluate to the name of the page without the language suffix and the amount will be 1. If you do however call the output parameter, it works just like before, as you can see at Land mine. TheWombatGuru (talk) 23:24, 14 October 2014 (CEST)

Ok, saw it. How could I think you don't think about this .. ;)

But I wonder if it wouldn't be better as it was before. Do we need the output in the recipe when it is included in the infocard templates when it should be reasonable that the input produces the item of the page a user currently is when the output is 1? Or in short, wouldn't it be better to have the output optional? FatMcK (talk) 23:33, 14 October 2014 (CEST)

I'm not sure if I fully understand you. Do you mean we should by standard not show the output if it is the same as the title of the page, with amount 1? We could do that, but I fear not all people will understand. And the other question. Do you mean removing the crafting grids of all pages and only showing them in the infocard? Yes, I'm against duplicate information, but I don't know if we should only put it in a table on the page or only in the infocard. TheWombatGuru (talk) 23:38, 14 October 2014 (CEST)

You have a good point for the first part, also we would get off a standard. At least for the infocards I don't can think about any exception at the moment.

For the second part, I would remove the crafting grids as soon as the infocards are added. Double informations are really not needed and add the risk that at some future point (maybe with another game version) someone changes only one of both shown recipes or something.

Additionaly I think outside infocard recipes are only usefull for 'multi pages' like Speed module (research) if there are any for items. FatMcK (talk) 23:58, 14 October 2014 (CEST)

Ok, I agree, as of now I will include crafting recipes in the infocards only, though they do still need a lot more testing on there sandbox pages, I hope we can replace the current ones with the sandbox ones soon. TheWombatGuru (talk) 00:01, 15 October 2014 (CEST)
