Template talk:Infobox CardGame
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I've been adding the template to several articles and have noted the following problems:
(1) Type link does not work for shedding-type games. (no such article exists)
(1.1) The requirement for Category-Type correspondence makes the type field quite restrictive. It should be possible to use point-trick game or meld scoring rummy as the type.
(2) There is no way to put named variants to the infobox. They are neither alternative names nor related games. I've been using the subtitle. See for example Marjapussi for the problem.
(3) Related games could be divided into ancestors and other related games.
(4) The automatic link makes the Cards field too restrictive. For Skat one would like to have the text Anglo-American or German, which invalidates the link.
(5) The text Deck should be replaced with Number of cards
(6) How one produces an estimate for Random Chance? Punainen Nörtti 08:24, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
- I, for one, think this field should be eliminated as it's only OR. Unless one can produce some reference that similarly "rates" these card games in some fashion in terms of this "random chance", this is only user-produced OR. --Craw-daddy | T | 15:19, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
(7) Field for partnership play would be nice (with alternatives no, optional, yes).
(8) Field for the type of winning would be nice. (With alternatives Single winner, Single loser, Positions, Relative to score, Won money)Punainen Nörtti 08:58, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
