Does this template need to be updated?  it doesn't seem to be handling the new aboveground crops with fruit properly.  see [[Eggplant]], which is being listed as "Edible: No". [[User:MisterB777|MisterB777]] ([[User talk:MisterB777|talk]]) 19:03, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

:I assume that "Edible: No" refers to the ''plant'', rather than the fruit (i.e. what's present in the [[DF2014:Eggplant/raw|raws]]). &mdash;[[User:Lethosor|<span style="color:#074">Lethosor</span>]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|<span style="color:#092">talk</span>]]) 23:30, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
 
::I would assume so as well.  However, that's not terribly useful now that the majority of plants' raws aren't structured in a way where the edible bits are the whole plant.  I guess what I'm saying is the template no longer represents useful information because it is ignoring the new plant structures. No one really cares if the entire plant is edible if there are multiple parts that are and, instead, it just seems to indicate that nothing about the plant is edible (which is untrue).  Unfortunately, I'm no good at templates, or i might try to make it clearer.  [[User:MisterB777|MisterB777]] ([[User talk:MisterB777|talk]]) 07:57, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
 
:::I Agree that this template is in need of an update since the plant-expansion greatly increased complexity and utility. I'll try to find time to update it in the not-too-distant future.--[[User:Loci|Loci]] ([[User talk:Loci|talk]]) 20:32, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
 
 
::::First pass includes details on fruit. Plants with edible leaves and seeds are not yet indicated as such. I added this functionality to [[Template:Plantlookup/DF2014]] instead of this template to avoid changing prior versions.--[[User:Loci|Loci]] ([[User talk:Loci|talk]]) 21:33, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
 
:::::Updated for leaves, flowers, pods & seeds. I think that's all the current plant growths.--[[User:Loci|Loci]] ([[User talk:Loci|talk]]) 21:37, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
 
 
== Wiki links ==
 
 
Grasslookup and Treelookup templates are linking to Wikipedia's articles correctly, but other plants aren't, even though it ''looks'' like they should. Any thoughts? --[[User:Button|Button]] ([[User talk:Button|talk]]) 23:00, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 
 
:I assume you're referring to the fact wikilinks aren't automatically included by the plantlookup template. For a bit of history, back in v0.34 Toady added "man" and "giant" versions of most of the creatures. That meant roughly 2 of every 3 creatures didn't exist in wikipedia. I [http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=Template:CreatureInfo_v0.34&diff=179905&oldid=179904 inverted the wikipedia logic] so that only pages with a positive wikipedia parameter would show the link. That code [http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=Template:Crop&diff=211187&oldid=208404 got copied over for plants]. The plantlookup template does supply a wikipedia link if given the appropriate parameter (see [[cotton]] for instance). That being said, since plants are now predominantly real-world and I've separated the plantlookup code for the new version, the logic really should be inverted back to automatically add the links for plants (like trees and grasses do), with all the imaginary plants edited to exclude the wikilink.--[[User:Loci|Loci]] ([[User talk:Loci|talk]]) 21:30, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 
::Done.--[[User:Loci|Loci]] ([[User talk:Loci|talk]]) 21:36, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
