Template talk:CharstatFE4/start

Finally Adding Leadership and Gold Columns
Alright, so I've noticed that, unlike all the other templates, the FE4 Charstat has been omitting the columns Leadership (Lead), and Gold (Gold), and we have just been tacking on those two things after the template on the bottom. Space appears to be the issue, but actually most of the statistics only can go up to double digits, so I can make room so the whole template fits on one line. The problem is that editing just the template doesn't put the columns in their proper places (well, actually it does, the problem is with the character statsistics contained within); I actually have to go to the template itself, use the "What links here" option from the toolbox, and manually go in and correct each iteration of the template as I go down the list of game characters.

I'm mainly bringing this up because I have noticed that Engweimin has recently starting going onto each of the Second Generation children pages and putting up a template for each father/mother pairing (by the way, I'm not against this practice at all, I'm totally for it). However, things would be exponentially easier if I corrected the template first, so that we/I don't have that much more to manually correct. I already did it for FE5, and that took quite awhile. FE4 is even bigger, with substantially more playable characters and enemies. So, I guess what I'm asking for is some time to fix all the iterations of the template that exist now, and possibly some help with this if I could. My method is described above. Below, you will see how I was going to set up the new version of the template. I can always play around with the widths later if needed to get all of it to fit AND stretch to roughly one side of the page to the other for maximum space.

Let me know any thoughts you may have, and/or if I can get some cooperation with this undertaking. I'm willing to do most of the work myself.--Aivass Remurias 23:13, April 21, 2012 (UTC)
