Template talk:Infobox Disney attraction/Archive 1

message: I've made it so "Name", "Park(s)" & "First Run" are required, the rest are optional. I'd like to make it able for a user to enter another optional and dynamic "(park) Run:" so people can put in each park it is run in, but I don't know how to do it. Also note that I copied Template: Disney ride and edited it to this. --blm07 15:38, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Template: Disney show

message: Since I was never happy with the super duper simple templates (Template:Disney show & Template:Disney ride) I've been tinkering with a brand spanking new infobox template for the past couple of hours.
Check out Template:Infobox Disney attraction, it can be used for Disney shows and rides and it looks as nice as the infobox on some articles. To see it in action check out this example. It even includes a place for the four New York World's Fair attractions and sponsors for each resort used. --blm07 02:36, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  New infobox 

message: Just copy and paste this to the top of a Disney attraction article and fill it out. All resort entries are optional, but when you use one you must enter a date as well. Check this page for an example.

</noinclude>
To create entry with multiple parks or dates:
 Magic KingdomEpcot
 October 1, 1971October 1, 1982
Output:
 Magic KingdomEpcot
 October 1, 1971October 1, 1982
The infobox that WikiProject Disneyland uses was expanded and modified to create this one. The "programming" was put together thanks to various infoboxes on Wikipedia by blm07 18:49, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Usage

message: I've thought about (and tried) to shove more information into the box, but I think it should only be for the basics.
* 1. It looks good to me, I'll replace the old "Disney show" infoboxes with this one.
* 2, 3, & 4. I don't think so, because it will make the box longer and the information is already in the "Attraction facts" section of the article. --blm07 20:33, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: My thoughts

message: Here is my near final (only tweaks after this) proposal for a new template: Template:Disney attraction infobox. Park, Opening date, Options, Sponsor, and Status are included, not to mention a few hidden options to make it very flexible. The resort header is gone and the Disney park variables are gone, that is so they can be put in order of opening. After the transition, I know a bunch of articles will have screwed up infoboxes, but I'll fix them up. --blm07 03:35, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Where's the ride duration? I'm going to keep using Template:Disney_ride until a ride duration field is added. 1ne 17:26, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ride duration was already in Template:Disney_ride, which you got rid of in the first place. 1ne 22:57, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: And why aren't we using Disney_ride for Disney World-exclusive rides? It's a better template for Disney World-exclusive rides...in fact, I'm going to change it from Disney_ride to Disney World ride. 1ne 23:07, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Now that I think about it, I think we should use mine for singular park-exclusive rides, since there's separate space for sponsors and such. I'm going to use Disney World ride (which I'll probably move back) for Disney World-only, Disneyland-only, (or Tokyo-only...you get the rest) rides, and we can use yours for multiple park rides. 1ne 23:25, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Obviously we disagree about things. I don't think it is so important to have every sponsor that the attraction has had in the infobox and I don't think there needs to be templates for each resort. Maybe you should start a discussion in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Disney about your template since Disney attraction articles are part of a official Wikiproject. Didn't you see anything about my template when it was being modified for a month, why didn't you say your rejections then? I really think some kind of agreement should be made in Wikipedia:WikiProject Disney soon. --blm07 00:08, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I don't get this arguement.  Have one Template.  Have an entry for PARK= another for LAND= another for SPONSOR=, etc.  and just stack the templates on top of each other on the page.   Bytebear 00:17, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  That's how it works, people argue about things until they come up with a solution. Maybe I made my template and started using it too early, but it was months ago, back then nobody had anything but good things to say about it. I didn't want to wait an unknown amount of time to see if everyone was going to agree, I did take a month (or longer) to modify the current one so people had a chance to say something. Thats why I said since this is the sorta thing Wikipedia:WikiProject Disney should handle, I think it should be discussed there, if you have a concept template to show, then by all means show it. --blm07 00:23, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Duration 

message: I would like to delete this template and rename the template Template:Infobox_Disney_ride so that it replaces this.  All translucent pages have been replaced (other than user pages).  We can rename this to (old) or something as well.  Objections?  Bytebear 05:01, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
