Adding categories to text without this tag
I noticed that Sealbudsman has been adding the relevant category to some pages that use an inline approach to describe exclusive features rather than the tag. Would it be supported to add a |text= parameter to this template kinda like {{upcoming}} does to make this a bit more uniform, or alternatively just a flag or use template that makes it display simply "In the X Edition"? I've never been a fan of placing categories in the middle of a page's text myself so it would be nice to use the template for consistency. –KnightMiner t/c 02:26, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
- I was kind of thinking originally, because people kept preferring to use prose like "in the X edition", rather than the only tag: why not create another mode for this template that just makes it invisible yet still places the category. Or make a mode that simply read [exclusive] when putting it in front of prose. In the end I didn't think [exclusive] would be well received, and then I didn't see how using a bare category would be any different from an invisible template that places the category -- so that's what I ended up doing. (I probably should have actually talked about it)
- So then what if there were just a flag that made it say 'exclusive' rather than what it says now -- is that sort of what you're getting at? – Sealbudsman talk/contr 02:45, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
- I was thinking some flag that makes it say "In the X edition" or even just "X Edition" as that's probably a bit easier to work into prose, or possible just wrapping the whole sentence in this. I guess the awkward part is when it comes down to it, its hard to use this template in prose without making it a bit more awkward to write if no tag is desired, but I also find categories directly in paragraphs to be awkward.
- Maybe if the page option to hide version exclusive text goes through it will be wrapped in some template so we can better do something like this. –KnightMiner t/c 03:00, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
