Talk:SSBMRank 2016

"Character & score"
This is quite ugly. Having these in the same space doesn't make sense – either the PowerRankingsRow should be modified to add support for the two separate columns, or we shouldn't use that template at all. – Smiddle 16:20, 26 December 2016 (EST)
 * Agreed. It may be worthwhile to make a variant of the template for these kinds of non-regional rankings. Miles ( talk)   16:30, 26 December 2016 (EST)
 * Thing is that the template is used on like, every PR...and since the parameters aren't named, I can't even deprecate them. XL would also be of no use, because it only does simple text replacements.  Serpent SKSig.png  King  16:36, 26 December 2016 (EST)
 * Which would suggest we should make a separate but similar template rather than changing the existing one. Miles ( talk)   16:38, 26 December 2016 (EST)
 * Seems like a sloppy shortcut to me. The other PRs (including the regionals) have the same problem, right?  Serpent SKSig.png  King  16:39, 26 December 2016 (EST)
 * Well, regional PRs don't use a "score" value in the same way these global ones do (compare 1, 2) and wouldn't need such a column. I don't see how it's sloppy to make a variant template for a variant situation that needs an additional piece of data not relevant elsewhere. Miles ( talk)   17:15, 26 December 2016 (EST)
 * I had a go with it and it was actually easier than I thought. The rating is specified with "score=". Other uses of the template are unchanged. – Smiddle 17:34, 26 December 2016 (EST)
 * Maybe not the best name for the parameter, as an extra column could be used for other stuff as well, but it works. – Smiddle 17:35, 26 December 2016 (EST)
