Template talk:Interactions FO3

Rents room/bed
I think "rents bed" should be added to the "Services" column. Opinions? -- Porter21 (talk) 15:23, April 29, 2010 (UTC)

Automatically add to relevant categories?
I wonder if it's possible to alter the template, such that setting a given interaction to "yes" automatically includes the article in the relevant category (i.e. Category:Mesmerizable characters)... ‹‹ DavidJCobb ›› 23:19, 23 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, that's possible. I seem to recall that I actually suggested to do so a while back (can't find the forum thread right now) but since there was little community feedback, I didn't go ahead with it in the end. I do think it'd be an improvement though. -- Porter21 (talk) 08:03, 24 June 2012 (UTC)


 * The only concern I have with this is the fact that newer users would not be aware of how to add or remove such auto-generated categories, nor know which templates in the page generate them. This could be especially confusing where there is a mix of manually added and auto-generated categories on a page, when they come to edit the page. Even as a experienced wiki user like me, I have had such issues on other unfamiliar wiki sites and given up, instead of trying to spend time tracking down it.

 * Well, playing devil's advocate: That's already true for mbox templates and the maintenance categories they add. In the end, it boils down to whether the added complication for inexperienced users outweighs the benefits. I don't see new users adding or removing categories that often in general, but that might just be a subjective impression. -- Porter21 (talk) 17:08, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
