Template talk:Category jump

This template is supposed to provide an easy way of switching between locations and inhabitants categories for a given place. I'm not sure what I think of this though. See it in action on Category:Locations in the Delimbiyr Vale. Any opinions? Fw190a8 17:46, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Extension?
I think this template is of great help. I would have the following suggestion for further improvement: In many cases additional links could be helpful that are more difficult to standardize. For example for Zakhara not only inhabitants, organzations, locations and settlements would be interesting, but also Category:Al-Qadim sourcebooks and Category:Zakharan pantheon. One could also think about items from..., prestige classes from..., etc. I have no idea about formatting in wikia, but would it be possible to include spaces for user-defined links in the template, ideally an undefined number of them?

 * We already have the Inhabitants, Settlements, Locations and Organizations. Your suggestion for Items (Items from Silverymoon, Items from the Abyss, etc) is a good one, but so far there are very few articles of this type. With regard to "Prestige classes from...", I believe adding this to the template would be of limited use because of the relatively few prestige classes (a few hundred). It would be difficult to create a template that allows an unlimited number of user-defined links, but specific ones (like the Items one) can definitely be added. Fw190a8 14:10, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Hmm, what do you think about sourcebooks and deities I mentioned? Both are interesting in my opinion, but both might not conform to a standard like Category:Deities from name of location. Daranios 18:29, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Extension!
I have included five (is that too many?) additional lines in this template, where user-defined categories can be added by including the lines: See the new version in action here and please tell me what you think about it. If that version should be accepted, I have now idea how to modify the description of this template, however. Daranios 15:23, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 * additional1  = name of category 1
 * additional2  = name of category 2
 * additional3  = name of category 3
 * additional4  = name of category 4
 * additional5  = name of category 5
 * Please update Template:Category jump/doc to update the documentation for this template. The usual practice is to put the documentation inside a template which is only called inside the tag of the template, so that the documentation isn't processed by the wiki engine every time the template is generated on a page.
