As I said on the [[Template_talk:Fire|Fire talk page]], too many things use fire (or ice) for these templates to be practical.

This is a better design because readers could then research creatures of fire or ice with as much ease as if they were using the [[Template:Birds|Bird]] or [[Template:Fish|Fish]] Templates to research those kinds of beings, instead of getting bogged down with species that only use fire or ice. For example, if someone wants to research Birds, anything else in the Bird Template that flies but isn't a bird would slow them down; however a misfile like this would be obvious as a bird is a clearly defined animal, while what can be considered appropriately placed under "Fire" and "Ice" is much more subjective. As such, I'm open to suggestions on what should or shouldn't be removed, though my first attempt (complete with justifications for my choices) can be seen alongside the original templates [[User:Walkazo/Templates|here]]. | |||

Fire and Ice Templates
As I said on the Fire talk page, too many things use fire (or ice) for these templates to be practical. Instead, I propose we alter these templates so that they only include things made of, or irrefutably linked to fire/ice. This is a better design because readers could then research creatures of fire or ice with as much ease as if they were using the Bird or Fish Templates to research those kinds of beings, instead of getting bogged down with species that only use fire or ice. For example, if someone wants to research Birds, anything else in the Bird Template that flies but isn't a bird would slow them down; however a misfile like this would be obvious as a bird is a clearly defined animal, while what can be considered appropriately placed under "Fire" and "Ice" is much more subjective. As such, I'm open to suggestions on what should or shouldn't be removed, though my first attempt (complete with justifications for my choices) can be seen alongside the original templates here.
