==Suggestions / Ideas== | |||
==Discussion== | |||
The following are only ideas that may have some merit, maybe not. | |||
===ProfileLink=== | |||
IMO, the ''ProfileLink'' | |||
* http://wiki.anidb.net/w/Template:ProfileLink | |||
is ugly using the generic "[1]" in the template. And it is a bit strange that the "profile image" actually leads to the image's page, instead of directly leading to the profile on the AniDB page. In all it is IMO confusing to actually have 3 links: | |||
# link to wiki profile page | |||
# link profile image's page on wiki | |||
# link to profile on AniDB | |||
<nowiki>[[profile]] ([[Image:Button profile.gif]] [http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=profile])</nowiki> | |||
[[profile]] ([[Image:Button profile.gif]] [http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=profile]) | |||
Alas placing the image *in* the AniDB link does not properly work: | |||
<nowiki>[[profile]] ([http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=profile [[Image:Button profile.gif]]])</nowiki> | |||
[[profile]] ([http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=profile [[Image:Button profile.gif]]]) | |||
Maybe replacing the generic "[1]" with text will make things clearer: | |||
<nowiki>[[profile]] ([[Image:Button profile.gif]] [http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=profile on AniDB])</nowiki> | |||
[[profile]] ([[Image:Button profile.gif]] [http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=profile on AniDB]) | |||
Though it's still not elegant that the profile image leads to the image's wiki page.<br> | |||

===Text Modules vs. Templates=== | |||
To me templates are wiki source code that uses variables in some way. These are used as compact aliases. I noted that several of these "templates" are simply text modules (without variables): | |||
* http://wiki.anidb.net/w/AniDB_Definition:_Romanisation/Table | |||
* http://wiki.anidb.net/w/WebAOM/Header | |||
* http://wiki.anidb.net/w/Template:Avdump-gui | |||
* http://wiki.anidb.net/wiki/index.php?title=Template:Awards | |||
* http://wiki.anidb.net/w/Template:ProfileLink | |||
Maybe one could add a '''new category''' specifically for such variable-free text blocks called e.g. '''Includes''' or '''Text Modules'''. | |||
Alas I am not quite such sure the inclusion of "non-templates" is actually permitted in the wiki?<br> | |||
