Template talk:Named Shield
Named Shield[edit]
We have Named Armor, Weapon, Jewelry, & Clothing... should we have Named Shield rather than messing around fixing this? That way we can start over from scratch, have picdesc, get all the variables the same (like "quest" vs. "loc" for all the templates, etc. -LrdSlvrhnd 19:46, March 11, 2011 (EST)
- Actually the Named templates aren't all the same, Named Armor is the odd one out. All the others seem to use the same variables as the Unique templates Neouni 09:41, March 14, 2011 (EDT)
Atk/Dmg Redundant, and not what the template is used for[edit]
No one looks at a named shield to find out redundant trivial info they would get just by playing the game or reading a basic beginners guide. Much less on every single named shield page on our site. It's a waste of space. That's what the Category:Basic shields category is for.
And duh, I get how weapons work. Weapons can use non str stats as an inherent game mechanic. Shields can not, ever. They always, -always- use strength. It's rednudant info, put it on the basic shield pages, not named.
Turbine themself actaully recently removed the "Dmg: str" mod from all named weapons, as they get it. It's redundant info.
Should they change this fact in the future, sure.. We can easily add those fields back. For today, and the last 6 years when that wasn't the case, lets not waste space in an already cluttered talk page. And even if we do add them back, they should be added back as collapsible fields, and only display on the non-standard items, on every page is just ugly.
We should clear as much clutter as possible, not add to it.
Reverting.

Unknown Durability[edit]
The durability always displays as "Unknown" regardless of what you put in the "dur" or "durability" parameters. The problem is probably the same thing that used to be wrong with the Named Rune Arm template. Kkoliver (Contribs • Message • Email) 06:46, September 29, 2017 (EDT)

A requested edit has been completed!

Please update the live template to match the sandbox to fix shields to properly show min level and be categorized properly with fixes for the old SSS epic parameter. Thanks! ⇒ DDOstream (Contribs • Message • Email) 11:22, November 21, 2018 (EST)
Required Trait[edit]
There appears to be a bug in rt section it looks like a missing |- before the rt line. In any case required traits does not work for named shields. Noticed this while looking at I:Cursed Skull. ⇒ Some call me Tim (Contribs • Message • Email)
