Template talk:ShardInfoBox

 * The argument serv is an unnecessary abbreviation. Why not just server or shard?
 * Categories (like Category:PvP shards or Category:English shards) can be created from template arguments. Missing information should be added as arguments.
 * We could use a form here, not that many shards are added all the time, but to make editing easier and force certain values for arguments (EN vs English, NA vs US vs American).

Trion have changed the official forums links
just a heads up, it appears that the official forum links suffix has been changed from "82-Byriel-PvE-US" to "164-Corthana", the old links currently appear to work but who knows if that will change.  Larryl0099  talk &bull; cont 17:18, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I have just updated the template so that all forum links are stored within the template itself. Assuming Trion don't go and screw with it even more >.< All it requires is changing the number obtained from going to the forum URL. IE: if the URL for the forum you want is http://forums.riftgame.com/forumdisplay.php?70-Shard-Forums, then all you need is the number after the ? as the rest has no bearing on which forum shows. IE: 70-Random-Shard-Name or 70-Telarapedia will take you to the same forum section on Trion's site. Existing |forum= declaration on shard pages can be removed now.

 * They've been changed again, and now they're statically-named URLs. They now follow this nomenclature: http://forums.riftgame.com/shard-forums/REGION/TYPE/NAME (for example, http://forums.riftgame.com/shard-forums/na-shards/pve/crucia/). As a result, the entire system for forum links is going to have to be changed (I'd give it a go, but it's a bit above my head). -A le rik  talk 04:19, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
