A question
Nixinova, Do I need a template variants showing "Console Edition only" and one showing "Education Edition only" in this template?--Beans1512 (talk) 09:34, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

Why is this 7 different templates
Why is this template currently 7 different templates? The whole point of parameters is so you don't need to recreate the same thing many different times, just pass along the two versions as parameters and have the template automatically add the text and images like all the other templates currently do. –KnightMiner t/c 19:32, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
- I did that because I didn't know how to make
{{exclusive|java}}launch a preset I am storing currently at{{exclusive/java}}. – Nixinova •

- Preferably I would have
"if 1=java, load {{java template}}, { if 2=console, load {{java and console}} template }, etc"– Nixinova • • 03:17, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
- You just set it to build dynamically from the names you give it. In this case, java needed a different image, but all edition pages are [[<version> Edition]]. I switched the template to support calling it like that, and remove the color properties as there is no reason one page should need a different color than the rest of the usages of this template. –KnightMiner t/c 22:59, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
- OK, still slightly confused, had the
|color=parameter in case you wanted the msgbox to be the usual yellow – Nixinova 04:25, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

- But why would one page want it yellow when the rest have it blue? I cannot think of a single reason one page should have it yellow unless we change it to have all be yellow. All our other message boxes are one color consistently, an individual article does not need to color it differently. –KnightMiner t/c 17:05, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
- There was some talk about associating different colors with different versions, see the Renaming project talk page. --Pepijn (talk) 17:40, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
- I was just having a setting that could load the usual yellow msgbox template; I didn't know if we would be using the blue or not. – Nixinova 05:23, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

Repopulate categories
Could someone edit the template so categories like Category:Java Edition only, Category:Pocket Edition only, Category:Console Edition only and Category:Education Edition only are repopulated when their respective exclusive templates are used? Perhaps KnightMiner? –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk

- Done. To keep these categories and the ones related to information rather than whole features, I added a category for all of them called Category:Edition specific categories. –KnightMiner t/c 03:50, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
- Many thanks for doing this, looking at Category:Edition specific categories I'm wondering why all the specific information categories have "edition" in lowercase - for consistency shouldn't these all be upper case, i.e. Category:Pocket Edition specific information instead of Category:Pocket edition specific information? –Goandgoo ᐸ Talk

- That was me who did that, and I don't have a good reason why I made them lowercase. Looking at the history of
{{only}}, I seem to have been having a bad day all around. : P – Sealbudsman talk/contr 05:04, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
