Moving to {{entity}}

(using Template:Message)  Should we continue to use this template, or modify {{entity}} to categorize and change the titles, with some modifications, such as the equivelant of Category:Source Base Entities being Category:Console commands, and changing the title to be lowercase and with underscores, but not embed it within {{code}}? (the same would apply to {{console variable}}.) I'm leaning towards the latter.  --Pee (talk) 18:39, 15 Aug 2023 (UTC)

(using Template:Message)  I changed the title to use {{code}} to be more uniform with Entity. I would be open to merging the two templates, however that might just cause a spaghetti code situation. If we combine this and entity, then we will likely have to combine {{Shader}} and the likes as well  --Equalizer5118 (talk) 18:44, 15 Aug 2023 (UTC)

(using Template:Message)  I also think that plain text with underscores look ugly. I prefer sv_cheats over sv_cheats as monospace text looks more uniform  --Equalizer5118 (talk) 18:45, 15 Aug 2023 (UTC)

(using Template:Message)  My main point was mentioning a few possible changes that could be made, not necessarily whether or not it's in code (though i do think it shouldn't be in code). As for a spaghetti template, something like this might work fairly well (maybe even with changing the name of the name of the base page):

Template:entity

{{#switch: {{{type|}}} |#default={{error|Missing required argument "type"}} |e0|e1|e2|e3|e4|e5={{entity/entity|whatever|arguments|are|necessary|to|pass}} |convar|command={{entity/console|whatever|arguments|are|necessary|to|pass}} }}

I suppose it would also make sense to instead simply make this template more like {{entity}}, adding things like a sentence and game categorization.
