Template talk:Il

Alternate art

Is there a version of this that shows alt art? That'd be kind of neat. TheOneTheOnlyTheMoses (talk)

I just added the optional "Image" parameter to the template:

{{il|Andvarius}}
{{il|Andvarius|image=Andvarius_2.png}}
{{il|Andvarius|image=Andvarius_alt.png}}
{{il|Goldwyrm}}
{{il|Goldwyrm|image=Goldwyrm alt.png}}

Produces:

Thanks for the suggestion. Chriskang (talk) 00:35, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Wow, thanks. It's great! TheOneTheOnlyTheMoses (talk)

You're a genius, Chriskang. Your solution is brilliant, but it seems a tad bit hacky. I think I can clean it up a bit and reduce template redundancy. —Vini (t|c) 02:42, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Wait. Do you suggest that concatenating a link label and a file name in a parameter called "Format" is not hacky? :-) When we have time, we'll add alternate artwork images directly inside the {{item}} template and this day, we'll be able to create something really clean. Good catch on the redundancy though. I was about to do the exact opposite (replace the call to itembox inside {{item/view/inline‎}} by a call to {{item/view/itembox}}).

Good stuff. Iamacyborg (talk) 15:18, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Well... yeah you got me, it is still pretty hacky. Actually, the entire item templating system is rather unintuitive if you look under the hood. However it works efficiently, so that's why we have it. What I specifically wanted to avoid though was having multiple templates that do essentially the same thing and adding logic to this template. The purpose of this template is only as a shortcut to avoid having to type the somewhat unwieldy page transclusion. —Vini (t|c) 16:07, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
