Template talk:Ritual

Can we merge the Ritual template with the Spell template? After all, many rituals in 4th edition are ordinary spells in other editions, which leads to some overlap of lore. The template also isn't popularly used — there are only five pages that use it: Two of which also use the Spell template, and the last is a duplicate of Speak with dead.
 * Remove affliction
 * Gentle Repose
 * Make Whole
 * Amanuensis
 * Speak with dead (ritual)

I'm currently looking at something that's a 9th-level spell in 2nd edition, an epic spell in 3rd, and a ritual in 4th, and have been wondering which infobox to use.

With a few new entries in Spell, and six pages to update, it seems like a relatively easy change. — BadCatMan (talk) 08:53, January 1, 2015 (UTC)


 * This is fine with me. If there are no objections to the merge, I volunteer. Would you like this to be a pass-through to Spell like the others, or just eliminate it altogether? Popularity notwithstanding, there are quite a few more rituals in 4th edition that no one has taken the time to document. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 21:19, January 1, 2015 (UTC)


 * I'll do it, you do enough infobox work. :) I'll keep Ritual as a pass-through/redirect to Spell for existing discussion and pages. — BadCatMan (talk) 12:35, January 2, 2015 (UTC)


 * Okay, I updated Spell and subpages and tested it out on amanuensis. Let me know if you see a glaring problem. :) Later, I'll try to work out how to automate categories. — BadCatMan (talk) 13:15, January 2, 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks for updating those pass-through templates. Okay, I figure using Spell table to generate categories of the form Category:Nth-level Creation rituals would be easiest. I almost have it working, but how can I introduce a Ritual variant alongside the Discipline, Evocation, Exploit, Hex, Prayer, and Channel Divinity Prayer we have for the 4e spells? It's still defaulting to "spells". — BadCatMan (talk) 05:53, January 3, 2015 (UTC)
