I don't like having 'birthdate' in this template. I realise what I had here before was a bit long-winded, but as a roleplayer, I find it kind of distracting to read that people were 'born' 1-5 years ago.

Is there some other way it can be phrased that doesn't make everyone look like toddlers? --Adrielle Firewalker 02:36, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

One idea might be something along the lines of Pilots License Received or something like that? --Ryushe 02:40, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

I've changed it to Pilots License Issued: Daquaris 02:51, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

I've changed it to Licensed for shortness. DrAtomic 17:31, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Extra Info

Adding info seems to be a very touchy subject at the moment, with pages with too much info being flagged for cleanup and all, but I'm still going to suggest this. As soon as parserfunctions are introduced, or even before that, might be nice to add a field to the template with 'Character Skills' or just 'Skills', with a link pointing towards either the EVE Character Showroom or inEve, whatever people prefer (then again, inEVE is dead or dying, so not a safe bet). Too bad we can't (or can we?) link remote images, or there would have been a nice mod I just thought of for the ECS ... --Ryushe 16:15, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

The Specialiasation field would allow you to link you SP i.e. simply set the desired WML in the variable specialiasation= [http://www.ineve.net My skill tree]. Remote linking images is not possible i think atm. DrAtomic 12:46, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

If we were consistent with what the other templates used to have (And should still have- I have no idea why they were removed during DrAtomic's rewriting) and still required the character ID for this template we could very easily add links to skill tracking websites. --Ix Forres 04:06, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

It was removed from the template because it didnt work (the entire template was broken when it was redone), I left the id parameter in the parameter sets in the pages that had them set both for alliance, corp and characters so that if it got enabled into a working thing those pages would allready have the parameter set. See the restyle discussion on the alliance template about this as well. The main idea about restyling and redoing the templates was to get a working template now instead of somewhere in the distant future, once parserfunctions and external images are activated these templates will most likely be redone again.

Rewritten

I've rewritten this template using wiki markup, instead of HTML. Daquaris 21:57, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Requested Move

Requested move to Template:Player Character for naming convention purposes (alliance and corp templates all have Player in front of it). DrAtomic 13:30, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

No need to move it, I've redirected that page here. Daquaris 17:17, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Sound, Move removed. DrAtomic 17:32, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Alliance Entry?

Should we add an entry for alliance affiliation?Cal Hydar 20:17, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

I would say no because alliance affiliation is a corporate attribute; i.e. a pod pilot is a member of a corporation and a corporation can be a member of an alliance. DrAtomic 09:44, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
