Template talk:Infobox Boss

Infobox code
Copy and paste the following code into an article and simply fill out the fields. Title is optional, and should only be used if there is an in-game title for the boss like in Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask.
 * Note 1: The Bosses category tag is not needed if this template is used
 * Note 2: If the  is the same as the article game the   parameter can be deleted and the article name will be used
 * Note 3: The  parameter is only for mini-bosses and should be deleted for boss articles

New section suggestions
If you have any suggestions for a new section for the template, or any modifications to a current one, please leave them here in a new subsection (Three = either side).

Guarded Item
The vast majority of mini-bosses and bosses guard some sort of equipment found in the dungeon. In the Forest Temple of Twilight Princess for example, Ook guards the Gale Boomerang and Diababa guards a Fused Shadow. Perhaps "guarded item" isn't the best phrase for this, but my suggestion on this addition to the template remains the same regardless of what it's called. --Douken 19:21, 6 February 2008 (EST)
 * Good idea. Perhaps it could be called something along the line of "post-battle reward(s)" (bit of a mouthful, but that would encompass items, people/creatures e.g PH spirits, ALttP maidens, and other stuff like the Elegy of Emptiness from King Igos du Ikana). --Adam (talk) 02:51, 7 February 2008 (EST)
 * Sounds better than the name I gave it, but perhaps just "Reward(s)" would suffice, as post-battle seems like it would be implied. --Douken 13:39, 7 February 2008 (EST)

Weakness
I got confused. In the Weakness section, what are we suppossed to write, the weak spot of the boss or the weapon to which they're weak against?
 * I think either or both, depending on the boss, would be the best way to go. Ian Moody 17:25, 18 Oct 2005 (GMT)

Template broken!
Wow, I never even noticed, but the template now has an error it never used to: The type field no longer works, and all pages which use the Boss template are now categorized as both Mini-Bosses and Bosses!! --Adam 15:32, 9 October 2007 (EDT)


 * This is sort of an old issue, but the only way I know of creating a field like that wouldn't work on this version of MediaWiki. I'm sure there's someway to do it, otherwise someone would have to go in and edit every single mini-boss or boss article.  Does anyone know how to add the type field correctly?  I would be willing to distribute the mini-boss template among all 150-or-so articles needed it, if it came to that, but... I want to verify that it's necessary before doing something of that nature.  I'm a little paranoid about things like this, so I'd like to see it resolved in one way or another. --Douken 14:57, 5 February 2008 (EST)


 * Try not to worry, we're looking into possible solutions at the moment, so I'm hoping that this can be resolved very simply! --Adam (talk) 15:30, 5 February 2008 (EST)


 * Okay, Jason's now resolved the problem, and all the templates should be functioning correctly again. --Adam (talk) 16:46, 6 February 2008 (EST)

Yay! They all work now! :D --Ando 18:31, 6 February 2008 (EST)

Nice work~ I'm glad the templates are finally fixed. --Douken 19:21, 6 February 2008 (EST)
