I have a little tweak/fix I'd like to make to this template. Currently if a realm and a region with the same name exist the link in this template to the owning realm goes to the region page of the same name. I have created a simple utility template (Template:HadezUtilRealmLink) that automatically fixes this when it happens and could easily be included in this template. However, as the regionData box is such a ubiquitous template on the wiki I'm hesitating to touch it without some sort of authorisation. -- [[User:Wraith0x29a|wraith0x29a]] 01:32, 31 January 2011 (CET)

This should also fix the issue where you have a region, realm and duchy with the same name (eg. Oritolon) and the wiki neutralises  self-reference links in the regionbox.

It's trivial to create a comparable HadezDuchyLink utility template and use that too. [[User:Wraith0x29a|wraith0x29a]] 03:52, 4 February 2011 (CET)

This is awesome. This is what I had hoped we could get to when the Semantic stuff was announced. It will make so many things on the wiki so much easier and more accurate. --Indirik 03:30, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
