Property talk:Located on

I have this 'orrible feeling that Located on:: breaks the infoboxes, at least when wikilinks are the variable input. Let's see... [[Located on::Keplerstan]] vs. Keplerstan? How do we resolve this? I guess we could go through everything and change realm wikilinks in each realm infobox input to the bare name...but that seems like work to me. :) -Baatarsaikhan 20:03, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

I frankly don't understand the problem. What's the issue? Check the changes I made to region boxes, why would the same not work for realm infoboxes? --Tom 22:23, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

It was an image/formatting issue, I suppose (my not being "with-it" on wiki terminology). [[Located on::[[Keplerstan]]]] returned Keplerstan as a displayed link, which looks odd in the realm boxen. [[Population: ####]] worked just fine, displaying just ####, so I was wondering if it was something to do with wikilinks within the property field. However, I understand there's a pipetrick to remedy this now? -Baatarsaikhan 01:24, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

But [[Located on::[[Keplerstan]]]] is false. [[Located on::Keplerstan]] is correct. The pipetrick is [[Located on::Keplerstan|Realm of Keplerstan]], which will show up as "Realm of Keplerstan", but link to "Keplerstan". --Tom 03:36, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Ah, THAT's what I was missing. I didn't realize that the property will parse what's inside it to match wikilinks. Kinda obvious after the fact I suppose. -Baatarsaikhan 05:31, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

"Located on" is intended to hold an island name. It should not be used to hold a region, realm, or duchy name. If you want to denote that a region is part of a duchy or realm, use [[Part of::RealmName]]. Also, we intend to replace all the realm and region infoboxes with standardized templates from the RealmBox Project and RegionBox Project. Yes, it is a bit of work. But it will need to be done in order to get things going. Once this is done, people can customize the RealmBoxes and RegionBoxes to match the flavor of their realm. They will just have to be careful to make sure the material is coded correctly. --Indirik 03:47, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Well, yes, that is what is mentioned in the property page descriptions. If the question is about Keplerstan, that's just because I wanted something for linking that would "obviously" link to a placeholder or testing page. Personally, I look forward to the Region and Realmbox updates. Should streamline things considerably. -Baatarsaikhan 05:31, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
