Armory Links
You should have US/EU modifier. -- 15:36, 13 June 2007 (UTC)


 * can you post a link to the eu site I've never had to go there so don't know how their armory link differs. Jtkiefer 15:41, 13 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I just checked and it looks to be the same except for the fact that it's at http://armory.wow-europe.com/ instead of armory.worldofwarcraft.com, I should be able to easily make that a third variable however as a matter of course I think it's better to set it to default to US unless told to do EU though I won't force that if people take issue with it.

 * I edited the template to add it. There are a ton of EU users here. -- 15:46, 13 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Ok, does it cause issues though if you don't add the third variable, it should default to either US or EU if you don't use the variable (I personally prefer us but that's my bias). Jtkiefer 15:48, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
 * You could make it do that, but it requires US or EU to be entered currently. Stop by IRC, there are many people there who can answer any questions about templating. Many of your ideas may already be implemented they can direct you to. -- 15:50, 13 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I just checked it and if you don't add EU or US as the third variable (we should also consider a CN variable since I just noticed that it's in chinese as well} it breaks horribly. Jtkiefer 15:50, 13 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Other locales have not been supported here in the Wiki in the past. Only US/EU. -- 15:51, 13 June 2007 (UTC)


 * That's not an issue though since the current template I created currently is a direct to armory link to link to players armory pages. Jtkiefer 15:56, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Category for pages that link to the armory
Two things.

1) Every item page essentially links to the armory. This would flood the place if people actually decide to fill out this category. I suggest a different category.

2) Do we really need a category for armory links? That's like making a category for pages that link to blizzard. Or a category for pages that contain external links.

 * I don't think the category is needed. It does not suit the templates function. -- 15:39, 13 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm trying to figure this out, if you have any ideas please let me know I'm trying to flush this all out before considering moving it to the template namespace and small things like this are what are holding it up. Jtkiefer 15:40, 13 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm also going to create a seperate template for item links to the armory but not until after I get this one done. Jtkiefer 15:43, 13 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Many of these have already been done. Item links on articles should link to the wiki's item page, from that page, there is already armory links. -- 15:48, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
