Template Expansion

This discussion was moved from its original location at Talk:Peasantry# Template.

I made a template in the Sandbox that covers everything Trogdor/Peasantry-related. I'm thinking it would replace {{Peasant's Quest}}. Gfdgsgxgzgdrc 03:02, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

What do you think? It would be a more convenient way to navigate related pages. Gfdgsgxgzgdrc 07:52, 9 March 2019 (UTC)

Methinks Trogdor is a better name and theme for the new navbox. --Stux 10:22, 9 March 2019 (UTC)

Done. Gfdgsgxgzgdrc 22:44, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

Any objections before I replace {{Peasant's Quest}} and move it to {{Trogdor}}? Gfdgsgxgzgdrc 19:20, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

Generally speaking, I'm fine with the rename and revamp. (I'm guessing you were planning on moving the template?) But I think there's probably severeal things or maybe even a lot of stuff missing from the template: (Trogdor Character variations should be separated from Peasant's quest characters, PQ Locations should be its own section, same for Trogador maybe. Also, I don't see Peasant's Quest Proposed Sequels above.) Section order should also be discussed: I think Toons should go first, then Peasant's Quest, then Games, then the Board Game and then Characters. But that's my personal preference mainly since the template will focus on Trogdor followed by Peasant's Quest a close second. Nevertheless, these can be updated after the move I think. But I'm expecting the template to grow a little bit. --Stux 20:06, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

Thanks! I didn't realize so much stuff was missing. I don't think Trogador needs his own section; there are no pages about Trogador except, well, Trogador. Here are my thoughts regarding the order:

• I think Peasant's Quest and the board game should stay together. Both of these games prominently feature Trogdor and his world, and there are numerous pages about them both, so they're similar in that sense.
• I'd like to keep toons, games, and characters together, in that order, just 'cause I think it's kinda funny, but it's not a requirement I suppose. Variations should be right below characters for obvious reasons, with places nearby as well.
• While I prefer the current order, I also wouldn't object to moving Peasant's Quest and the board game between places and other. That way, everything is still grouped together nicely.

But you're right, that can all be discussed once the template is moved. I'll get on that at some point. Gfdgsgxgzgdrc 00:08, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

Section Order

Now that we have template discussion in one place, I'd like to continue the discussion on section ordering originally mentioned above:

• Taking Gfd's suggestions into consideration, I've kept the Board Game and Peasant's Quest together and only moved Toons and Games up to the top.
• I like this new setup because the very first item we see on the top left is dragon where everything started! You then go to Games, followed by more specific Game sections and then everything else.

Sorry but I ended up having to break your (Gfd's) Toons/Games/Characters ordering in this case. Everyone, please let me know what you think! --Stux
