Why is "blood type" a parameter?[edit]

I see no reason to have this as a parameter for the infobox. Why is it there? QuicoleJR (talk) 13:38, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I'm not sure if having a parameter for politics is a good idea. It could get really controversial. QuicoleJR (talk) 13:41, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a list of user pages that use the blood_type parameter. Maybe ask one of them? – Joe (talk) 13:45, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the userpages, it seems like everyone who uses this parameter uses all of them, which probably means something. QuicoleJR (talk) 13:57, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect it has something to do with blood type personality theory. Primefac (talk) 14:22, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Video games" parameter[edit]

Hi everyone, I am attempting to revive a discussion previously posted on this talk page (now found in Archive 2) on 29 April 2022 by @SlySabre:. We think it would be a good idea to include a "video games" parameter in this infobox. Does anyone else agree? Does anyone disagree? Lotsw73 (talk) 12:27, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bug - Internal links in "Alignment" Parameter[edit]

This parameter is set to inlink to the relevant article. When the alignment "neutral good" is entered, the link is erroneously set to Neutral good (Economics), rather than Alignment (Dungeons & Dragons)#Neutral good.

I am not sure whether a similar error is reproduced with any other inputs. Doughbo (talk) 22:55, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It shouldn't. Where do you see this happening? Primefac (talk) 11:04, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done Primefac (talk) 12:19, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Primefac, I've gone ahead and updated the documentation with the addition. If you have the time please check if I did it right. Nobody (talk) 12:41, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Seems okay. Primefac (talk) 12:56, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
