Template talk:Battle Data

Suggested changes

{{PAGENAME}} should probably be used instead of {{{name}}}, unless there is a use for this template other than on battle pages. "Attacker" and "defender" probably shouldn't be used in the output, though they are fine variable names unless brevity argues strongly enough for "L" and "R." The word "strength" is used twice for two distinct purposes; Fall of the Twelve Colonies uses "Combatants" for the first instance, and I am inclined to agree with its usage. --CalculatinAvatar^(C-T) 16:18, 12 May 2006 (CDT)

{{{name}}} is only used if the name of the template should be named different due to size or "(SERIES)". --Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 14:35, 21 June 2006 (CDT)

"Combatants" is better than a division of "attacker" and "defender".--The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 22:13, 12 May 2006 (CDT)

The heading "General Information" seems superfluous. I dislike the phrase '"Life" Casualties,' but I haven't thought of a solid replacement yet. Otherwise, the thing is beautiful; y'all have done very good work. --CalculatinAvatar^(C-T) 14:24, 21 June 2006 (CDT)

Personnel Casualties?--Steelviper 14:29, 21 June 2006 (CDT)

Actually, based on both my own unerstanding of the term and [1], I think "Casualties" implies "Personnel," so I suppose I dislike "Ship Casualties," as well. --CalculatinAvatar^(C-T) 14:50, 21 June 2006 (CDT)

Anymore comments before I impliment this template? --Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 09:17, 24 June 2006 (CDT)

Was the only way for it to look right. --Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 10:45, 13 June 2006 (CDT)
