Template talk:Server specific

From Discovery Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

I don't know enough about editing templates, but would it be possible to add an option where if you have text after a bar

e.g. {{Server specific|All figures were gathered on the Discovery Server, and may not be accurate elsewhere.}}

Would give:

TriangleWarning.png This page may potentially contain some server-specific content, and should be used with caution when playing on any server except Discovery Freelancer RP 24/7.

All figures were gathered on the Discovery Server, and may not be accurate elsewhere.

TriangleWarning.png


Changes I made (potentially unnecessary) were centring and slightly rewording the text, adding a second image, and obviously, inserting the line break and the text after the initial notice.

Of course. In my opinion, though, it would be more useful to have a template like which works approximately like this:
{{Server specific|Discovery RP 24/7|page}}
Which would output:
TriangleWarning.png This page has content specific to the Discovery RP 24/7 server, and should be used with caution when playing elsewhere.
That would solve some of the issues that we have where pages with content from other servers are being mixed in with everything else, as we currently don't have a way to mark and properly distinguish them from pages that are relevant to all servers. Other opinions on this matter would be welcome, as it is more an issue of not having an official policy for server-specific content than simply not having a template for it yet. - Space (talk) 07:17, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
Scratch that. I didn't realize that the template actually existed already. Disregard (most) of the above reply. - Space (talk) 18:49, 5 April 2013 (UTC)


I think that this wiki's main focus is on the Discovery 24/7 server, and any notes regarding other servers are left as just that (notes), rather than main points. As far as I am aware, there are no specific pages for other Discovery servers on the wiki? Korlus - (talk) (contribs) 02:54, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
