slightly different intended usage I guess. This template is using images stored on a skin article as links to another article that happens to not have any gallery images on it.
whereas {{Armor gallery overview}} is intended to be linking to gallery pages (possibly skins, since thats all that those articles will really contain).
I don't really mind which we keep, but their parameters should be similar. Discussion is good. Questions:
  • Should "armor" be chopped off the end of page names? Probably not imo - if its linking from one article to another, let's try not to obfuscate the link.
they're very similar though lol. -Chieftain AlexUser Chieftain Alex sig.png 20:08, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
I don't think it should be chopped off, mostly because of cases like Armor of the Lich and Flame Legion armor (light). It'd require extra work to set up the template to chop off it in some cases but not others, and there's no real point to doing it. As far as which one we use, I intended this to be used in all pages where you use a single name to refer to a group of armor sets. The only difference is that your template assumes the destination will always have a gallery, but this one the destination could be a set page with a gallery (if you used it on Temple armor or Ascalonian Catacombs armor) or it could be a set page that doesn't have gallery, like if you used it on Arcon armor.

title?[edit]

Why 'title' and not 'name'? While this isn't a full infobox, it serves the same purpose and appears in the same place on a page, and it seems to me that this parameter should be named consistently with every other infobox on the wiki. Unless you have a reason for making it different, of course. —Dr Ishmael User Dr ishmael Diablo the chicken.png 12:38, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

mostly because it was better imo than "group". changed. -Chieftain AlexUser Chieftain Alex sig.png 12:40, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
