Is the suffix really neccessary since {{autolang}} ekzists?
(using Template:Message) It seems to be quite redundant now that page translations use / to be the subpage. --Amicdict (talk) 5:34, 1 Apr 2023 (UTC)
(using Template:Message) {{{suf}}} should be removed from all templates and replaced with {{Autolang}}, but not now. Now such deletion can cause mixing of languages, which not everyone may like. Actually, this is not such a problem, but in some templates it's better to leave {{{suf}}} until {{Lang}} is completely replaced by {{MultiPage}}.

Parameter nocat=1 should prevent any categories
I want to use it in the See also sections and along the text. Lxm6 (talk) 11:35, 9 April 2023 (PDT)
The text available in all games can be misleading
(using Template:Message) See ai_network for example.

Add an option to suppress all cats

3 extra categories out of nowhere with Weapon ak47
(using Template:Message) I don't see them in my sandbox2, which is what I expect. --Lxm6 (talk) 0:55, 9 Jul 2023 (UTC)
(using Template:Message) I seems like BasicCSseriesWeapon is to blame this time.

New template name is terrible
(using Template:Message) "Format" is too generic a template name, when literally everything on a wiki consists of formatting. --SirYodaJedi (talk) 19:18, 16 Aug 2023 (UTC)
(using Template:Message) I'm somewhat inclined to agree, I think something along the lines of "engine element" would fit better. Any other ideas?

(using Template:Message) How about {{this is a}}. In my utopia, I'm thinking of readable wikitext such as {{this is a|convar}}, {{this is a|point ent}} and so forth. This would require parameters to be swapped (but maybe this can be done when this page is moved once again):
- {{{1}}} → {{{name|
{{PAGENAME}}}}} - {{{type}}} → {{{1|{{{type}}}}}}

(using Template:Message) I like that idea. I also am thinking of maybe something like {{introtext}} or similar, as that is more accurate to what it is. Its the introtext for entity, shader, convar, etc. articles
--Equalizer5118 (talk) 16:09, 17 Aug 2023 (UTC)
(using Template:Message) If we went that route, we should probably do {{intro text}} as 2 words, and {{introtext}} as a redirect to the 2 word template
--Pee (talk) 0:44, 18 Aug 2023 (UTC)
(using Template:Message) "Intro text" as a name sounds far too general. I'm aware that most of the introductory paragraphs on this wiki are just explanations of what an entity is, but there are other articles here that don't conform to that, and naming the template like that's not the case and every introductory paragraph follows that one specific format seems far too broad to me. {{This is a}} makes more sense, IMO.
