Template talk:Level infobox

Here are the parameters – that is, variables – to fill in:


 * image – full image code if available, default message is not available and link to upload page.
 * code – What I mean is 3-2, 5-7, 8-5. Secret-3 or Extra 4 for the YI series is acceptable too – in some cases, the level title is the code.
 * game – as said.
 * difficulty – You must put either "Super Easy", "Very Easy", "Easy", "Medium", "Hard", "Very Hard" or "Super Hard" because that's all I've put at User:Wayoshi/Colors, or it will mess the whole thing up.
 * notes – Bosses in the level, tricky points to pass (don't use you!),cameos, color of Yoshi, etc. Shouldn't be too long, because this is a quick stat template – more in-depth can go in the article.
 * before – Put the exact level before and pipe it with << ( before=<< ).
 * after – Same, but with >>. For both, if there is no level before or after, just put < >, without a link.

Title is the pagename itself, which should cover all cases. This should be compatible with a lot of games. 17:02, 3 January 2007 (EST)

Difficulty
Should this section be removed its basically the player's Opinion and POV.


 * Unlesss an official guide has a similar template stating the difficulty (which I doubt there are) then yes, it should be removed. -- Son of Suns


 * More opinions on this? I would also remove this section. 08:29, 5 February 2008 (EST)


 * Maybe we could use points to see how hard the level is. Like: "enemies: 0-5 - 1 point; 6-20 - 2 points; 21+ - 3 points"; "harmful obstacles: 0-10 - 1 point; 11-20 - 2 points; 21+ - 3 points"; "power-ups: 0-1 - 3 points; 2-3 - 2 points; 4+ - 1 point"; etc. Then, if all points sum 1-5, it is very easy; if 7-10, it is hard... But I doubt anyone would count how many enemies and obstacles a level has, not to mention it would be complicated. 08:20, 17 December 2013 (EST)

We need to fix the colors of the template, see here: The "Game" and "Notes" section should have different background colors. Can somebody fix that please? 16:35, 19 February 2008 (EST)
 * I think we should delete the difficulty section.

List of
Is there any reason why the "list of Levels" link redirects to Level? Shouldn't it direct you to the Levels Category? Is it even necessary? Shadow2 16:16, 26 November 2009 (EST)
 * I agree with Shadow2. -- 16:48, 30 December 2009 (EST)

Stamps
Can someone edit the template so it could include a row for Stamps? DonnyKD (talk) 14:33, 20 November 2013 (EST)

Level icon & Star Medals/Green Stars?
There is a Galaxy Icon row on, and the levels in Super Mario 3D Land and Super Mario 3D World have icons too. And what about lines for the required number of Star Medals or Green Stars to unlock the levels? 08:23, 14 December 2013 (EST)
 * Those sound necessary. Could probably be added.

Stop Linking to the Levels Category
Is there any reason why the template sends editors to Category:Levels? Why not create List of Donkey Kong Land 2 levels page and specify a parameter what page to link to the list? What will go into a page like that? See Donkey Kong Land 2. We already have pages like Galaxy and World (world is not a list of levels but list of worlds). Why not link to those pages more often? Not creating a just yet. I want to gather some information first from other editors. Maybe we don't need a TPP if all goes well. -- 18:34, 14 October 2017 (EDT)
