Template talk:Faction disambiguation
This template doesn't work on disambiguated item pages, such as [Vicious Gladiator's Medallion of Meditation]. --g0urra[T҂C] 21:26, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
- "Doesn't work" appears to mean that uses of Template:itemtip, when transcluded, render differently than it does on the original page. That would be an itemtip problem that we can probably fix.
- What do we do with other things that won't work when an item disambiguation page is used in place of an item: should incoming links be formatted (i.e.
[Vicious Gladiator's Medallion of Meditation] vs Vicious Gladiator's Medallion of Meditation (Alliance))? What should happen if someone were to try and include the disambiguation page in a loot/item/reagent/whatever box? "Nothing, let it fail" is probably an acceptable choice, but some confirmation of this would nevertheless be nice. — foxlit (talk) 15:52, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
- The suggestion was more of a "let people see both versions on one page", instead of browsing to see both. I'm perfectly fine with just having a disambiguation page, which people would probably have to look at and see why their loot/item/reagent/whatever box/link doesn't work. --g0urra[T҂C] 15:58, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
- For the record, {{Versions/AH}} now exists to allow multiple versions on one page, and displays the default version (Alliance) as the incoming link tooltip. Slightly biased but I prefer this to nothing. I will list this as an alternative in the documentation. - jerodast (talk) 18:32, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
Disambiguation forcata/old and normal/hc
Should there be created a disambiguation-template like this for fx quests that have both a cataclysm page and an vanilla page (ex. [7-30] Elune's Tear & Elune's Tear (original)), and for weapons that have both a normal and heroic version (ex.
[Battleplate of the Apocalypse] & Battleplate of the Apocalypse (heroic))?

- No, there would be no space for it. This template is specifically for items and quests that ends with (Horde) and (Alliance). --g0urra[T҂C] 12:01, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
- For the record {{Versions/Item}} now exists to allow defining multiple difficulties of an item on one page. - jerodast (talk) 18:32, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
Broken?
This template's functionality seems to have been broken somehow; see
[10-45] The Unseen Blade and
[10-45] The Battle for Broken Shore. Can someone more familiar with these things than I take a look? -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 18:28, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
- Unfortunately this uses some "data" scripting magic that I too cannot fathom. The two subpages look fine. - jerodast (talk) 05:45, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
[10-45] Return to the Broken Shore also has this problem. --Celellach (talk) 12:37, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
