Revision as of 20:30, 5 February 2008

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 name is the same as the article game the name parameter can be deleted and the article name will be used
Note 3: The type parameter is only for mini-bosses and should be deleted for boss articles
{{Boss
|name = 
|type = mini
|image = 
|title = 
|game = 
|dungeon = 
|weakness = 
}}

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).

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)
Thanks, Ian The CronoLink

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)
