Hearthstone Wiki talk:Boilerplates/New card (universal)

There should be some page that stickies this kind of stuff
Templates and Boilerplates are can be useful. Like with new: Something like these templates could be useful. Aegonostic (talk) 13:24, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Boss cards
 * Collectible cards
 * Hero Powers
 * card nav for easier quick-look tagging purposes
 * Hidden tags are vastly a mystery to everyone, as there is no list for them
 * etc.


 * Ok, just visited Hearthstone Wiki:Boilerplates, all boilerplates are there. Aegonostic (talk) 01:37, 3 April 2017 (UTC)


 * You're welcome to set up more boilerplates however you find helpful; up until now I've created the majority of cards myself, so there wasn't much need, and it's also hard to predict users' preferences and awareness (hence the comment tags in the original boilerplates, since editors without knowledge of the systems involved might otherwise miss these things). -- Taohinton (talk) 20:15, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

Card infobox, " |category= " attribute
I rarely if at all see this attribute being used, can someone fill me in on how to use this? Aegonostic (talk) 01:37, 3 April 2017 (UTC)


 * It is used for Upcoming cards, is there anything else it is used for? Aegonostic (talk) 02:00, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

I don't know, but I try to fill it with relevant category, to see if that does something. TheGamer765 (talk) 05:51, 3 April 2017 (UTC)


 * I just tried doing " |category=Beasts " over on Angry Chicken, and it doesn't appear to categorize the page into Category:Beasts. I guess we will have to categorize manually at the end of every article. :(   Aegonostic (talk) 13:57, 3 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Actually, it categorizes pages into defunct category pages Category:Beasts card data and Category:Beasts cards, which might or might not be desired. Aegonostic (talk) 13:59, 3 April 2017 (UTC)


 * It's always worth looking up documentation for the template involved. -- Taohinton (talk) 20:15, 3 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Were there any example uses that " |category= " saw being used for? Curious to know. Aegonostic (talk) 21:39, 3 April 2017 (UTC)


 * An example would be Category:Boss cards. As the doc says the idea is to keep cards marked thusly separate from other "regular" cards - specifically they will not be included in Category:Cards which I assume means they will not be queried at all.
 * Personally I think we could take the template at least one step further and directly check the set variable for the upcoming set, instead of marking it as |category=Upcoming. That would mean one less thing to change in every single card page, whenever a new release date drops. On the other hand maybe that extra note is desirable to track all the OTHER phrasing on the page that needs updating once the release date drops. But I bet we could work up a bot script for most of that too...some day :)&#32;- jerodast (talk) 05:13, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
