::::::Let's look at a page abundant with templates, like [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Bulbasaur_(Pok%C3%A9mon) Bulbasaur on Bulbapedia]. Look at the markup. Each header you see on the main page also appears as MediaWiki markup when you click ''view source'' or ''edit''. Not one template includes MediaWiki header markup. This allows for much easier understanding patterns; the relationship between using equal signs and seeing bolded and bigger text. Sure, templates make things much easier to visualize and make maintenance easier, but if created with a haphazard approach, it can cause more issues that you never intended. I keep telling you but maybe we are not communicating effectively. Something is telling me you don't understand MediaWiki as intimately as I do. I'm trying to help you understand. --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] ([[User talk:Wildgoosespeeder|talk]]) 04:50, 18 November 2015 (CET) | |||
:::::In current state the template is consistent (provides same text in all GC games with native support), simple (just call it and it's done) and also future-proof to me (e.g. in future Dolphin changes or rearrange its Aspect Ratio options, a simple change in the template and all applicable game pages will also have the new info). How this can be a Band-Aid if there's no issues? If I understand you correctly, {{tl|GlobalProblems}} is also a "Band-Aid" because it uses headings stored inside variables and yet we hadn't any issue with it since its implementation. Finally, I don't think we need to follow a general "wiki standard" if we already have our own that works very well for what we need. - [[User:Jhonn|Jhonn]] ([[User talk:Jhonn|talk]]) | :::::In current state the template is consistent (provides same text in all GC games with native support), simple (just call it and it's done) and also future-proof to me (e.g. in future Dolphin changes or rearrange its Aspect Ratio options, a simple change in the template and all applicable game pages will also have the new info).

::::::You are skeptical now but once a more final design of my sandbox infobox takes shape instead of the slapdash version you see now, this template as a whole will be a moot point. The infobox will be even easier than this template as a whole. --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] ([[User talk:Wildgoosespeeder|talk]]) 04:50, 18 November 2015 (CET) | |||

We may need a parameter or logic to allow using the template without inserting the related category, as we likely don't want it appearing on the Templates documentation for instance (this may actually apply to a few Wiki templates). I think the best way would likely be to look for "Template" in the page title and avoid outputting it if found, but I'm being too lazy to implement such now.

: Isn't there a way to check from which namespace the template is being called? That could work as well but I don't know if it's possible... - [[User:Jhonn|Jhonn]] ([[User talk:Jhonn|talk]]) | : Isn't there a way to check from which namespace the template is being called?
