Part of the idea of moving to a new regional infobox template is to try and consolidate the templates and create a single template, or possibly a very limited number of templates, that can serve all the functions that a user wants. That way every realm or user won't feel the need to construct their own version of a template, and we can have some consistency amongst the various region pages. If there is something that [[Template:RegionBox]] doesn't do that you are trying to implement in [[Template:RegionBox2]], perhaps we can discuss it, and see if we can add it into [[Template:RegionBox]]. --[[User:Indirik|Indirik]] ([[User talk:Indirik|talk]]), [[BattleMaster Wiki:Editors|Editor]] ([[BattleMaster Wiki:User-Editors Talk|talk]]) 17:51, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Please please PLEASE use the preview button before putting changes up, and when you do, mark them as minor changes. You're spamming the recent changes page for no reason, -Capet 11:34, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Sorry about that. I only do wiki stuff here and am still learning. Didn't know about marking the page as minor edits and forgot about the preview. -Robert 13:40, 29 June 2009 (CST)

FWIW - I went to Special:Preferences and set my preferences to mark all my changes as "minor" by default. Then if I make a change that I consider a major change, I can uncheck the box. That way I don't ever have to worry about all my little edits being recorded as a big edit. --Indirik 18:46, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for the advice. I have now set mine for minor edits, so I should at least have this issue resolved from now on.- Robert 13:53, 29 June 2009 (CST)

Regional Templates

Part of the idea of moving to a new regional infobox template is to try and consolidate the templates and create a single template, or possibly a very limited number of templates, that can serve all the functions that a user wants. That way every realm or user won't feel the need to construct their own version of a template, and we can have some consistency amongst the various region pages. If there is something that Template:RegionBox doesn't do that you are trying to implement in Template:RegionBox2, perhaps we can discuss it, and see if we can add it into Template:RegionBox. --Indirik (talk), Editor (talk) 17:51, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

That makes sense. I just wanted to see about adding an option to include the realms banner above the image and since I am still very new to this and didn't want to test my skills out on the live template I created the new one. You can see what I was trying to accomplish on the Demyansk page. Of course, the way I have means that there has to be a manual entry made for the realm banner, so it is not nearly as good as the way Template:RegionBoxworks. Would there be a way to make it so that the page would pull the banner information automatically or that if the banner field is not entered it can be hidden? - Robert 13:01, 15 July 2009 (CST)
