Links on FGD Pages?

would it be a good idea to try and linkify relevant things in FGD pages? entity names are obvious ones, but there might be other things, such as variables. Kestrelguy (talk) 09:27, 25 May 2022 (PDT)

Visual style of FGD pages

I think the light grey background with black text is easier to read than grey text on black background.

E. g. Portal2.fgd is what I would prefer over HalfLife2.fgd as it is currently.

The first one makes use of the pre tag while the second uses {{codeblock}}.

However, P2's fgd is an outlier here. It seems most other pages use codeblock and the black background.

Rather than mass changing them, I'd like to see the opinions. Cvoxalury (talk) 14:07, 10 September 2024 (PDT)

The wiki is in dark mode; the big off-white block of text is too much of a flashbang, making it harder to read.

It's not nearly bright enough to call it a flashbang, though? To me it's harder to read the blacker tone than the background with grey text on it. It loses definition. Cvoxalury (talk) 00:28, 11 September 2024 (PDT)

This may be good solution. Made Template:FGD which adds (light text) link. See use Left_4_Dead_2.fgd. The fgd text itself is moved to 'Template:FGD/Left 4 Dead.fgd' and transcluded to the fgd page. Also makes it easier to edit the fgd page without the big text in the way --Nescius (talk) 03:11, 11 September 2024 (PDT)

That looks like a reasonable solution.
