Wowpedia talk:Templates/Elinks templates standardization

Scope and Implementation
Blame Tekkub for getting me involved in this :P Just wanted to say, that reall all elinks need to be brought inline so they can function along side each other and allow manaul links too. I'll be sorting this out later, but for now, as a continuation of what Tekkub was working on, here an example of new template i recommend we use in accordance to this new policy. User:Zeal/Sandbox/Templates/elinks-item. You'll notice is lacks a External Links header, this is intentional, and i know the Thottbot icon isn't there yet, i'll be adding that later. It would basically end up soemthing like this..

Zones
I've just checked up agaisnt the DB and the 3 main sites, and both Allakhazam and Thottbot use the wrong IDs, while wowhead use the correct ones. So hopefully without objection, i'll be making both of these optional and discouraged for Elinks-zone in accordance to what has been done with thottbot with items and NPCs. -- Zeal  talk   contr  web 00:10, 5 March 2007 (EST)


 * Similarly, then, please make the the original templates deprecated instead of redirected. --Eirik Ratcatcher 13:22, 7 March 2007 (EST)


 * Are other templates losing links as well? 19:46, 7 March 2007 (EST)

Factions
Allakhazam will be exluded from this because it does not use factions. Thottbot and Wowhead both use the correct IDs. Elinks-faction -- Zeal  talk   contr  web 00:10, 5 March 2007 (EST)
