== Template:Allies ==

This template is not a template and has been made obsolete by [[:Template:Faction Diplomacy]]. This "template" is in use on most faction pages, but since that's simply transcribed wiki markup this page is useless. We will need to replace usage occurances of this "template" with [[:Template:Faction Diplomacy]]

I wouldn't say it's obsolete by [[:Template:Faction Diplomacy]], as the new template is far too large to be properly used for every NPC faction in my opinion (iirc it was intended for player factions anyways). I would not replace the old one with this one - the old one is doing a fine job and I don't think it would look good if we had full rep sheets on every page that make up 80% of it's content. [[:Template:Faction Diplomacy]] is nice, but I think it should one be used on player faction pages.[[User:Nathrael|:: Nathrael ::]] <sup><small>[[User_talk:Nathrael|Talklink]] [http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?showuser=8787 Datalink] [mailto:nathrael@tacticalgamer.com Commlink]</small></sup>
 
 
 
Let me repeat myself, it is not a template. The wiki markup has just been copied to the different pages. Therefore it makes no practical difference if we delete the template. Also, I agree with you that [[:Template:Faction Diplomacy]] has a tendency to become too large. But to be fair, so does Template:Allies if used in the same way. It is a problem with both solutions. To fix this problem, I have proposed a way of using [[:Template:Faction Diplomacy]] in a better way on [[:Template talk:Faction Diplomacy]]. As far as design goes, [[:Template:Faction Diplomacy]] has more potential to be a universal diplomacy template, so for the sake of consistency I highly recommend that we focus on improving it rather than using multiple separate templates. <span style="white-space:pre;">-- [[User:Eyvind|Eyvind]] ([[User_talk:Eyvind|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Eyvind|contrib]]) </span> 09:40, 28 February 2009 (MST)
 
 
 
:I originally intended this to do the things that the [[:Template:Faction Diplomacy]] does. This was created before the parser functions were installed on the wiki. It was going to work inside another template, in a psuedo-collapsible allies list. The new one does the job fine. The only thing I would mention is that the New one does not need to list all factions. It will depend on the faction that the New one is used on. I support this being deleted.

== Category:Kirche die Grunnen Alders followers ==
 
Not only horribly misspelled (it should be "Kirche des Grünen Adlers") but also, in my opinion, not really necessary; I think for now, until the Wiki grows, a "People" category is more than enough. Nathrael 03:12, 17 March 2009 (MDT)
 
 
 
:I don't see a problem with having more categories, even if they are a bit under-used. In my opinion, this category should be placed under [[:Category:People]] and the name fixed, but not deleted. On the same note, various other people related categories (Category:Faction Leaders and Other Notable Player Characters, and several more, see [[Special:Categories]]) should be made subcategories of [[:Category:People]] <span style="white-space:pre;">-- [[User:Eyvind|Eyvind]] ([[User_talk:Eyvind|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Eyvind|contrib]]) </span> 10:07, 21 April 2009 (MDT)

As most of the above.  This isn't useful (Kane isn't even around anymore, and if he was this would still need complete and total reformatting...) and doesn't contribute to anything.  Oh, and as a member of the RM the above four pages (various ranks Praetyre made up) are years out of date and were never really used in the first place.  Delete them. --[[User:Sovereign|Sovereign]] 22:18, 31 October 2009 (MDT)
