I mostly play on the Discovery Redemption server but can be found on GC once in a great while. It's not really worth listing my characters here with how infrequently I play on GC.
 
 
 
I admin the [[redemption:Main Page|Discovery Redemption Wiki]], including creating and modifying templates.
 
 
== Faction Infobox2 ==
 
The Faction Infobox2 is my work to improve the Faction Infobox for the Redemption wiki. I decided to share it with GC because the original is mostly part of this version.
 
 
The most notable differences are:
 
* The "server" variable was removed. Neither GC nor Redemption host pages for other servers so I thought it to be a useless variable.
 
* The "type" variable was previously unused. I have given it the purpose that I think the original author had in mind.
 
* I have added more variables for a more profound infobox that makes things easy for the reader to find pertinent faction information.
 
** base2 - for those factions that use a secondary base of operations.
 
** primaryID
 
** secondaryID
 
** IFF
 
** tag - show off your faction tag, this variable should display special characters since it uses the nowiki command.
 
** recruitment - link to your recruitment thread! Or tell everyone recruitment is closed!
 
 
Play with the template output here: [[RC Test Page]]
 
 
=== Recent version improvements ===
 
The [[redemption:Template:Faction Infobox|most recent version]] can be found on the Redemption wiki. It has some features that are not included in the version on the GC wiki.
 
 
Type variable now does the following:
 
* Chooses the appropriate template for the top of the page between Player Faction, Player Group, or NPC Faction.
 
* When NPC is the variable the template will automatically display the ID information for the faction based on the page name.
 
** This does cause issues with factions where the page name does not match the ID name.
 
**: Like [[Nomads]] when the page is called [[Slomon K'Hara]] instead of Nomads, for example.
 
 
=== Features being worked on ===
 
Next feature to be worked in is making the IFF more automated. This will probably include an external template.
