Talk:Forest Bee

"Bee" template ideas
There is an existing Bee template being used on the associated page. Would it not be better to redo it as a Infobox? This is the layout I'd be thinking of. And yes. the information I have here is different to the exiting Bee template in a few respects: I've dropped the discovered by and species rubbish as it doesn't seem to be related to any actual game mechanic. Its just in game flavor text each species bears in the Portable Analyzer. The Species traits I have retained in the proposed infobox ARE actually the traits that are intrinsic to the species and cannot be changed by breeding.

 * I think we should provide all information, even if it doesn't seem particularly useful at the time the infobox is created. Someone somewhere might find it useful, and it's not hard to get it anyway when you are filling up the infobox. I don't think the Type thing is necessary. As for the images, I think P might be better, and for the actual bee types we might want to make templates that automatically link to those Apiculture sections ( for example). Also I fixed your mod parameters because they were causing warnings. --  Satanic  Santa 🎅F T B Wiki Admin 19:52, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Actually, now that I think a little more about it. It would probably be good and possible to be able to simply specify the type to automatically fill up the name and images sections, ie  would result in an infobox with the name already set to "Forest Bee" with all the larva, queen, princess, and drone images. Then we could have parameter overrides for these for special cases. Does that sound useful and good? --  Satanic  Santa 🎅F T B Wiki Admin 19:54, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
 * 1. Ok, I'll try and figure out how to keep the info. These pages are mostly tables and tables with very little text so I am worried that if I move too much to the Infobox there will be nothing left on the page :P
 * 2. I was unaware of "P" vs "Gc" - it does seem way better to use in this case.
 * 3. I think that something like  would be both useful and good.
