Talk:Incarnate Thread Component

Missing Section

The "Used In" section is missing recipes for Commons (20 threads each, yes?). It appears to be a problem with the templates, but I don't like to fiddle with templates, so I'm leaving it alone and hoping someone will read this and fix it.Haecceity 18:34, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Turns out those particular templates required a lot of fiddling... but it's fixed now! -- Sekoia 09:44, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

How to Get

Is there anyway that we can make the various "How to Get" sections look cleaner? Something like this, maybe:

Threads	From Item:
5	10 Incarnate Shards
10	10 Incarnate Shards and 1,000,000 inf (usable only once every 20 hours)
4	1 Astral Merit
20	1 Empyrean Merit
40	1 Notice of the Well
100	1 Favor of the Well

Oh, I think we could probably put something together pretty easily to do that. I'm thinking along the lines of the tables in the articles for each power set. Maybe something like:

{{ThreadGet_Start}}

{{ThreadGet_Row|threads=5|component={{IComponent|Incarnate Shard|10}}}}

{{ThreadGet_Row|threads=10|component={{IComponent|Incarnate Shard|10}} and 1,000,000 [[inf]]<br />(usable only once every 20 hours)}}

{{ThreadGet_Row|threads=4|component={{IComponent|Astral Merit|1}}}}

{{ThreadGet_Row|threads=20|component={{IComponent|Empyrean Merit|1}}}}

{{ThreadGet_Row|threads=40|component={{IComponent|Notice of the Well|1}}}}

{{ThreadGet_Row|threads=100|component={{IComponent|Favor of the Well|1}}}}

{{ThreadGet_End}}

Alternately, we could define the template to just accept the arguments without identifiers if that's not potentially too confusing:

{{ThreadGet_Start}}

{{ThreadGet_Row|5|{{IComponent|Incarnate Shard|10}}}}

{{ThreadGet_Row|10|{{IComponent|Incarnate Shard|10}} and 1,000,000 [[inf]]<br />(usable only once every 20 hours)}}

{{ThreadGet_Row|4|{{IComponent|Astral Merit|1}}}}

{{ThreadGet_Row|20|{{IComponent|Empyrean Merit|1}}}}

{{ThreadGet_Row|40|{{IComponent|Notice of the Well|1}}}}

{{ThreadGet_Row|100|{{IComponent|Favor of the Well|1}}}}

{{ThreadGet_End}}

And the names of the templates are, of course, subject to change if anyone has any better suggestions. :)

Note that I intentionally did not assume that we would want the IComponent template calls to be assumed due to the info in that second row. --Eabrace 15:59, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

After some further thought, we could name the templates IComponentGet_ instead of ThreadGet_ and add a parameter to the _Start to specify what you're converting to (e.g. Threads, Arcane Cantrips, Favor of the Well) if we want something that could be used for more than just threads.

{{IComponentGet_Start|Threads}}

{{IComponentGet_Row|5|{{IComponent|Incarnate Shard|10}}}}

{{IComponentGet_Row|10|{{IComponent|Incarnate Shard|10}} and 1,000,000 [[inf]]<br />(usable only once every 20 hours)}}

{{IComponentGet_Row|4|{{IComponent|Astral Merit|1}}}}

{{IComponentGet_Row|20|{{IComponent|Empyrean Merit|1}}}}

{{IComponentGet_Row|40|{{IComponent|Notice of the Well|1}}}}

{{IComponentGet_Row|100|{{IComponent|Favor of the Well|1}}}}

{{IComponentGet_End}}

If we are gonna make a template to do this, then I think that last option is the way to go... adaptability and multitasking Templates are a good thing. Also makes it easier to promote consistency among articles. : Approved! —Thirty7 21:50, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
