A month ago, there was a [[Category talk:Game series#Remove "(series)" identifier from titles that don't need it|proposal]] that aimed at removing identifiers from series that didn't need it. It was a draw at 13-13, and I do understand a lot of the points against removing the identifier, such as the fact that some people might think that a game simply known as "''Mario Kart''" exists. However, I did support the proposal, and one of the points that made a lot of sense was that it made it easier to link to the series page without pipelinking. There were some good points like having to remember which pages had the identifier or not, as some game series shared the name with the franchise. Therefore, I am going to give an idea (not propose it yet) on making a template (which I currently call {{Tem|ID}}) to directly link to pages with identifiers while the identifier is normally not shown visibly; not just for series, but for most pages with identifiers. This is my current code: | A month ago, there was a [[Category talk:Game series#Remove "(series)" identifier from titles that don't need it|proposal]] that aimed at removing identifiers from series that didn't need it.

*id - Adds back the identifier. While this sounds useless and against the point of this template, this allows formal names with identifiers to keep their ''italics'' without pipelinking just to add them only to the area outside the identifier. | *id - Adds back the identifier.

I'm open on feedback; I might open a proposal about this in the future. I also have some more convenience templates in mind, like a section template that links to the section and uses that section name as the link name without having to pipelink, but I'll focus on this first.

:Keep in mind that the more things like this you have in the page source, the harder it is to bot link replacements since you're just adding more and more different ways to accomplish the same task of linking to a page. And template parameters don't work with LinkSuggest, but starting a link with <code><nowiki>[[</nowiki></code> does. I know you can't pipe trick the "for the Nintendo Switch" ones, but for the rest of them, it's the reason I prefer to format links in this way (italics and second "franchise" outside the link): <code><nowiki>''[[Super Mario (franchise)|]]'' franchise</nowiki></code>. --{{User:Porplemontage/sig}} 17:30, December 18, 2024 (EST) | :Keep in mind that the more things like this you have in the page source, the harder it is to bot link replacements since you're just adding more and more different ways to accomplish the same task of linking to a page.

::That's something I am willing to change or remove. As for LinkSuggest, I wonder why templates like {{tem|Peach}} and {{tem|Daisy}} exist if so.
