Forum:Classic series toys templates

TARDIS2010 and I have been discussing the best way to display the CO classic series toys. TARDIS2010 believes that they should be split into two templates - one for "figures" and one for "boxsets". However I believe that all should be on one template, regardless of whether it has one figure, three figures, comes in a box or a plastic bag. If it is a Character Options classic series toy, it goes on the one template.

1. There isn't enough of a distinction between all the releases. There has only been a handful of them, and there isn't a major difference between two types. They are all grouped by their one similarity - they are all CO classics.

2. More than one template would make it harder to search through. When somebody wants to view all classics, they go to Character Options and open the classics template and they're all there - no wondering where it is.

3. They aren't grouped differently by retailers. In online stores worldwide and physical stores here in Australia they're just separated as 'new series' and 'classics'. Trying to separate them ourselves is going against what the DWCW is meant to be.

4. Where does it end? If we introduce one distinction ourselves, then we would end up adding more, for small insignificant things that are better left to the TARDIS Index File. We'd end up with hundreds and thousands of templates making browsing impossible and losing the point of why I started this wiki 4 years ago.

I'm interested to hear your opinions.  Tardis1963   talk  02:42, April 9, 2012 (UTC)
