Spell Card Info Template Revamp

As per topic, I will starting to revamp Spell Card Info, and this action may broke certain article's presentation. I will try to fix the pages as soon as possible - KyoriAsh (talk) 07:45, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

"Albums needing pages" instead of "Albums needing genres"

I've been trying to maintain a Current event release worklist and I think it's a more useful link to place in the "Articles Needing Attention" section of the front page than the current music/doujin albums link to Category: Genre Needed. Ycdtosa (talk) 17:08, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

Spell card comments

Clarste made a good point about the spell card comments, something that's been on my mind as well. Why exactly are they there? They are not official (apart from a few games' commentaries), and don't really add anything other than someone trying to be funny. ☢ Quwanti 23:31, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

Should we go through and delete them all, then? I didn't even realise those comments weren't from ZUN until I sat down and properly read the spell card page before... Biggest Dreamer (talk) 05:57, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
I've never actually read the spell card comments but had always assumed they were all official non-the-less, at present no spell card pages have comments due to an error in the template (going off the discord discussion). As an outside observer who never actually read any of the wiki's spell comments (I read them in game though), I think it needs to be much much clearer which comments are official vs unofficial or they should be moved to completely avoid any misconceptions, although outside of avoiding misconceptions I really don't see an issue with including unofficial spellcard comments. At present there's not much on these pages without the comments (just a picture and 4 short lines of text) so including something unofficial in my mind makes for a better reading experience, on the flip side since many games don't have official spell card comments I'd recommend changing the format of pages without comments altogether, one example could be using full sized spellcard images instead of half sized.

In general, the spell cards can be a bit unclear since different phases of a spell card are not included, and neither are non-named cards (aside from those in StB, DS and ISC). Anyway, I think they should be removed all together, for the time being. One idea is to give some sort of explanation for the title, what it means and why it's significant for the character, but that could be a lot of work. ☢ Quwanti 15:12, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
