Template documentation

Hey, would you mind documenting all your new templates using (IIRC) <noinclude>? –Celtic Minstrel (talk) 04:04, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi Celtic Minstrel! Sure, I'll do that. I have been admittedly lazy in this regard, as I was so keen to get the lore up as quickly as possible. I'll add some documentation over the next few days. Sub2pewds (talk) 17:32, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

TRoW scenarios that shouldn't take the page for their name

Thanks for adding all of this documentation. There's a couple of TRoW scenarios that I think should have "_(scenario)" in their article name:

• The Fall, the other meaning being Timeline_of_Wesnoth#After_the_Fall
• A New Land (currently a redlink), the other meaning being one of the multiplayer scenarios that frequently gets played on the official server
• The Ka'lian (currently a redlink), the elvish council in Wesmere which appears in several campaigns

There's at least two meanings to The Dragon, but they're both scenarios (the other is in SoF).

Thanks Octalot. I will respond to each of these in turn.

• The Fall: This one, I reckon can remain. You are right to point out the other meaning, but upon inspection of the Under the Burning Suns campaign, it seems it has a more full name... the Great Fall. I would advise that The Fall remains the title of the scenario and a hatnote is added to the top of the page pointing to another page titled Great Fall. Thoughts?
• A New Land: I think I concur. I was aware of the scenario, and wasn't sure if we would ever create a page for it, as it isn't exactly canon, per se. But I'll concede vanilla Wesnoth maps merit their own page.
• The Ka'lian: Yeah, you're definitely right about this one.

By the way, I don't have admin capabilities, so I can't move pages. I don't want to create new pages and clear old ones if I can avoid it, as it deletes edit history, which is undesirable. If you can help, or know someone who can, it would be very much appreciated. Sub2pewds (talk) 22:26, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

Makes sense to me, the list of admins is at https://forums.wesnoth.org/memberlist.php?mode=group&g=6659

As well as being an admin, shadowm is author of two well-known but non-canon campaigns set after the Fall; she'd probably be able to tell us more about whether it should be "the Fall" or "the Great Fall". OTOH, now that The Fall exists I concur that it should stay as the TRoW version.

Okay. I've posted on the forums. shadowm usually seems responsive there, so hopefully she'll comment. And thanks for the admin list. I haven't yet wanted to move anything very big, but I have left some pages around by accident that I didn't have permission to delete or move, specifically these pages:

• Category:Mermen (Made obsolete by Category:Merfolk)
• Infobox Character (Should have been named Template:Infobox Character
• S-end (Should have been named Template:S-end
• S-start (Should have been named Template:S-start
