Just so you know, the existing lookup templates are named such that "/0" just does an automatic lookup based on the page name, so naming the new templates "/1" sort of breaks the convention. The proper solution would be to edit "plantlookup/0" and have it use a different version of "plantlookup/aux" for newer versions (as is done with creaturelookup/0). --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] ([[User talk:Quietust|talk]]) 21:52, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

:Sorry, thought it was some sort of versioning and I wanted to avoid touching the old templates - how would you suggesting implementing this? [[User:JoeClacks|JoeClacks]] ([[User talk:JoeClacks|talk]]) 21:56, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
 
 
::It's not your fault. This undocumented "convention" is entirely unnecessary (the wiki code can do an automatic lookup by page name if no parameter is provided in a single template). When I was editing {{tl|creaturelookup/0}} I consolidated the {{tl|creaturelookup/aux}} template into the /0 template (I would've preferred to move the combined template to {{tl|creaturelookup}}, but that would've required editing every creature page.) Dividing the function into multiple templates just makes things more confusing and results in excessive parameter passing. In my option, {{tl|plantlookup}} is the proper name for a template that looks up plants.--[[User:Loci|Loci]] ([[User talk:Loci|talk]]) 23:04, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
 
 
:::Er, that should be my ''opinion'', not option. Thanks for all your help getting all the new plants added.--[[User:Loci|Loci]] ([[User talk:Loci|talk]]) 19:25, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
 
 
==Wikilink syntax==
 
 
Wikicode includes a syntax shortcut for making plural links. You can use <nowiki>[[crop]]s instead of [[Crop|crops]]</nowiki>. The first letter of the link will automatically be capitalized, and any text directly after the link will be appended as part of the linked text (so <nowiki>[[crop]]land</nowiki> works too).--[[User:Loci|Loci]] ([[User talk:Loci|talk]]) 19:25, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
