That looks kinda ugly, I think I like what we have better, especially since it skips an intermediate step and lets you see the other versions immediately.

What do you mean? "What we have" isn't being replaced by this. This just adds a method of getting directly to the disambiguation pages from the pages.

So our current blue templates are not getting replaced? I must have misunderstood from reading the early parts of the thread, then, my apologies.
- 31,588

Yes, this isn't a replacement. No worries.
Maybe I should just bring up this template idea in a separate thread altogether.

Yes, more importantly what kind of content is allowed on them.
Uh... broken link? XenForo doesn't work like that, looking at the source code of that bit of your message seems to intent to quote this:
In any case, that bit is already done from the look of things.
TBH this thread seems to already be concluded, any remaining concerns seem to already have been brought up here and should continue there TBH.

Alright I will work on this

It also seems there was some interest on doing a separate template for linking disambiguation pages (namely to highlight characters that just happen to have the same name and are simply different characters as far IPs go, thus not qualifying for just being linked on the "regular" template), but that'd be @Damage3245 's area looking at the replies.

Thank you very much for helping out. 
Butler and I modified your draft slightly:
https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/U...ions?type=revision&diff=7991885&oldid=7990055
Perhaps you can also post a visible code structure that can simply be copy-pasted and modified by our members, for the sake of simplicity?

Oh there is issue, at the last section, I added "categories" as examples, why it did convert to something else?Navigation Templates Instructions

Yap, it is preferred as well. Also you need to add it in the editing page as well but I guess there is ongoing project for that.

Yes, that would be preferable.

I'll only use the important category for the page then.
- 18,393

What about the example template? I have created it extra for educational purposes.

Ok perfect, thanks for fixing the issue. The page is wonderfully done!
- 18,393
- 14,323
It is better to list everything that is relevant to the page inside the page.
- 18,393
- 14,323
Oh, I understood. Now I checked again, no it is not really necessary. It is fine to be in introduction instead.

Thing is that merely mentioning it in the introduction, especially with the "should" will imply to users that they have no obligation to respect that standard, and at that point it may as well become a guideline, with a minor reqord if anything to fit better over there.
- 18,393
- 14,323
We have the option to substitute "must" instead of "should," but personally, I believe that using "should" does not merely suggest that it is not a set of guidelines.
