	I noticed that the template as currently designed can't handle spells of multiple fields. Eillie's Cry, for example, is both Augmentation and Utility, but you can only select one, and trying to edit in the second one causes only one to appear.

	:Here's my design philosphy when it comes to templates: If it's not going to be used at least 10% of the time a page is consulted, it probably doesn't need a template spot. Another thing to question is whether enough spells have that info available to be of any use. -Moderator [[User:Caraamon\|Caraamon Makdasi]]<sup>([[User talk:Caraamon\|talk]])</sup> 23:47, 18 June 2009 (UTC)		:Here's my design philosphy when it comes to templates: If it's not going to be used at least 10% of the time a page is consulted, it probably doesn't need a template spot.

			==Preparing for Magic 3.0==
			Some thoughts on how to adjust the template for the impending [[Magic 3.0]] changes. This is of course with the caveat that we don't know everything and stuff may change blah blah blah, but I'm bored and I figure it's best to get a jump start before we're broadsided with changing 250+ spells at once:
			*Keep "tiers" field but change inputs to introductory, basic, advanced, esoteric. For cyclic see next point.
			*All cyclic spells are esoteric spells, so cyclic should replace or be added to the binary held mana line.
			*Valid spelltype options should be Augmentation, Debilitation, Metaspell, Utility, Warding and Targeted Magic. I don't know if "offensive spell" will still be recognized by the system after the changes, but if there's a way to automatically include Debilitation and TM spells under that category that might be a good way to work it in. Sorcery spells could be included in here as a secondary spelltype option, since they will all fall under one of the above categories, or maybe they should be a secondary spellbook option.
			*Debilitation/Contested spells and abilities should be broken out into attack and defense. These would have their own lines, i.e. \|Attack=Spirit. Options are:
			**Attack: Mind, Magic, Spirit, Charm, Fear, Power
			**Defense: Reflexes, Fortitude, Willpower
			*TM spells can be broken out into single shot, multi-shot, single target, multi-target, DFA, AoE (although this can refer to some debilitation spells as well so could fall under spell target instead), etc.
			*We're also going to have to figure out how to include Normal, Battle and Ritual spells as well as spell Potency, Duration, and Integrity (assuming this info is available to players) if/when those ever see the light of day.
			Just some brainstorming. Feel free to add your own ideas/opinions/etc. --[[User:Thilan\|Thilan]] 16:04, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

			The [[:Category:Planned Bard Enchantes\|planned Bard Enchantes]] are showing up in the main [[:Category:Bard Enchantes\|Bard Enchantes]] page unlike the rest of the planned spells, which only show up on the planned page. Can someone who knows how to edit a template make it so the planned enchantes only show up in their own category? Thanks. --[[User:Thilan\|Thilan]] 02:55, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
