A new system is being introduced for Blackguard Bases, and they need to be converted. Among other things, doing this will allow users to search for bases using a search box, make creating new Blackguard Base pages easier, and allow us to greatly improve guide layouts.
I would prefer the conversions be done by fairly experienced editors such as MagmaHound, thedukeofwinsor, and TheCoolBoss. If anyone else would like to help, please talk to me on my message wall first.
Most significantly, each base is being put on its own page, but the following changes have been made to the template as well:
- The template that will be used is Template:BlackguardBase.
- All parameters have been capitalized. For example, the boomcannons parameter is now BoomCannons.
- The RecommendedComposition parameters have been renamed RecommendedArmy, RecommendedArmy2, etc.
- The XpLevel parameter has been added for future improvements to the template. For this parameter, simply input the experience level of the base in the image for that page.
This gives you two methods for converting the bases.
Method One
- Copy the template markup for the base from the existing Blackguard Base pages
- Create the page normally. Be sure to put it in the Base namespace. Example: Base:Acres
- Paste the entry and modify it according to the modifications listed above
Method Two
- Use the tool below to create the page. This will present you with a fresh BlackguardBase template markup.
- Copy over the inputs from the markup for the base on the existing Blackguard Base page.
Finally, remember not to delete base entries from the existing Blackguard Base pages as you go. These pages will be deleted once all the bases have been converted.
