I think this template could use some improvements.
* First off, it's missing a Flags section, which I think most entities have.
* The entity name under the description isn't needed. The name is right at the top of the page already, and duplicating it just takes up more space.
* I think it could use some horizontal rules between the Entity Data sections. I looked at [[Env_fire]] -- it looks easier to read to me. Is the Entity Data section headline needed at all? It makes the article layout and the table of contents noisier, but that's debatable I guess. The format of the keys in the template seems better though, where the whole thing isn't bold, only the name of the key.

Wouldn't these templated entity pages become somewhat redundant with quasi-tutorial pages like Assaults? Or should these entity pages be kept as placeholders until more expansive pages can be written? --Demented 15:25, 4 Jul 2005 (PDT)


I think this template could use some improvements.

  • First off, it's missing a Flags section, which I think most entities have.
  • The entity name under the description isn't needed. The name is right at the top of the page already, and duplicating it just takes up more space.
  • I think it could use some horizontal rules between the Entity Data sections. I looked at Env_fire -- it looks easier to read to me. Is the Entity Data section headline needed at all? It makes the article layout and the table of contents noisier, but that's debatable I guess. The format of the keys in the template seems better though, where the whole thing isn't bold, only the name of the key.
