Hi, welcome to Assassin's Creed Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the Assassin's Creed II page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- Richard1990 (Talk) 04:12, 23 June 2009

Template

Woah, nice job with Template:Character Infobox! When I edited it I was just trying to fix it- it was all distorted on my monitor (a tremendous 1920×1080 one). I wasn't trying to do anything like what you did, but nice job! Elecbullet 18:54, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

well.. thanks! ^^ you did a nice job as well by creating and re-wording the articles~ - SilverSummoner^TaLk 04:38, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Template, again

Hi there, uh, I realize now that it appears that Template:Character Infobox was created specifically for the Altaïr article. How many characters in Assassin's Creed worth noting actually have weapons? How many characters' weights do we actually know?

• Al Mualim - four unknowns
• Desmond Miles - two unknowns
• Altaïr - zero unknowns (Was made specifically for him I think)
• Malik - Three unknowns
• Ezio - 2 unknowns

Furthermore, there are other characters (Lucy, Vidic) whose pages could use this template, and they'd have a bunch of

I suggest that we only have six infobox spaces:

• Image
• Image description
• Name
• Faction
• Appears in
• Time period

Because those are the only ones that really matter. We'd have to edit all the pages using it.

"Appears in" would refer to which game. "Time period" refers to 1191, or 2012? − Elecbullet 19:26, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Sure thing. I was going to change it and make it somehow similar to Template:Target Infobox.. but not too sure back then~ ^^;

While we're at it, I think we need a navigation bar as well, no? - SilverSummoner^TaLk 01:58, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Like Template:Assassin's Creed on Wikipedia? I was thinking about doing that myself.

The templates on this wiki really needed work when I got here. All the file licensing templates were white text on white background. Heh. − Elecbullet 02:28, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Yeah sure, like that one. But I think we need to expand it a little... I have some rough ideas on mind..... =D

not only the templates, to be honest.. the categorizing system and the articles need some massive clean up.. xD - SilverSummoner^TaLk 02:37, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

IMPORTANT: When you make the infobox you MUST use consistency in capitalization! It's faction= not Faction=. Correct template:

{{Character Infobox
|image=
|faction=
|imgdesc=
|name=
|appear=
|period=
}}

I fixed the pages for you. Also, I see you went through the articles. Assassin's Creed is set in 1191, but you should use the words "Third Crusade". The purpose of the Period section is to differentiate between characters in 2012 or in the past. − Elecbullet 03:46, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Sure. thanks for the fix and tip. in case you don't realize I'm a human as well, so I made small mistakes sometimes... but you don't have to tell it in an extremely clear way.... =D - 03:53, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Gotcha. I'm trying to figure out this damn parser function. − Elecbullet 04:13, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Template, again

Okay! I think I got it! Using a sandbox template I made, I figured out parser functions. Now, if you leave a parameter blank (i.e. "name= ") the parameter's line will NOT be shown.

This also applies with the image= parameter. If you leave it blank, it will omit the entire image area.

On the right, you can see the infobox with the image= parameter and the period= parameter left blank. The entire part is omitted. If a value is assigned to all parameters, it looks just like the Character Infobox template.

NOTE: If you LEAVE OUT a parameter entirely (delete the "|name=" too) it breaks the infobox. So keep that in mind.

Try it out!

{{X1
|image=
|imgdesc=
|name=
|faction=
|appear=
|period=
}}

Think we should replace the character infobox with this? It's looking pretty promising. − Elecbullet 04:59, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

AC

Holy crapmackerel you've been busy. Nice job with the template! I was expecting something much smaller.

But if I may comment, uhh, the "Terms" section seems a bit unnecessary. It has a lot of terms that seem too minor and unimportant, like Feather, Scholars, Thugs, Vigilantes, and Assassin's Code of conduct (WTF is that? Is that even from the game?!?).

I do realize that you've put a lot of work into this. I just want to comment about that "Terms" section. − Elecbullet 07:01, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Assassin's Code of conduct is kinda weird, though.. I wanted to ask you bout that, since I don't recall seeing that in the game @_@. Well it's clear now.. gotta remove that one.

"Terms" is well... used to describe the terms that appears in the game. ^^; By any chance, are you a wikipedia editor? is it your first time editing wikia? =D - SilverSummoner^TaLk 07:21, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

I occasionally edit Wikipedia with the account Elecbullet. But this is the first wikia wiki I've ever contributed much to.

As for terms, I know what it means but it just seems so frivolous... There are some valid things, like Synchronization (which I created btw) but those could go under Gameplay.
