Template talk:Trps

Revision?

I have several concerns with this template.

• It's an inefficient use of horizontal space on the suburb pages.
• Fire Stations aren't TRPs, nor are Revive Points or Bulletin Boards. (I'm not saying that these latter locations shouldn't be featured prominently on the burb pages, but let's put them in the right place.)
• For the space they take up, they add only slightly more information than is already present in other templates on the suburb pages.

Is there any support for revising it to address only actual TRPs? Also, I'd like to see each TRP box stretch out for the whole row, and include the following information.

Building Type	Name	X,Y	Barricade Level	Powered?	Ransacked?	Last Update
Auto Repair	The Herman Building	24,26	VS	No	No	Ragged Robin 08:28, 2 April 2007 (BST)
Factory	The Herman Building	24,26	VS	No	No	Ragged Robin 08:28, 2 April 2007 (BST)
Hospital	The Herman Building	24,26	VS	No	No	Ragged Robin 08:28, 2 April 2007 (BST)
	The Herman Building	24,26	VS	No	No	Ragged Robin 08:28, 2 April 2007 (BST)
Mall	none
Necrotech	The Herman Building	24,26	VS	No	No	Ragged Robin 08:28, 2 April 2007 (BST)
Police Department	The Herman Building	24,26	VS	No	No	Ragged Robin 08:28, 2 April 2007 (BST)

i second the motion to revise the template, as Fire Stations are pretty useless indeed and having lists of them, but not lists of factories (for example) is wrong. it indeed needs to be uptodate with what is on TRP. However, your "status report lines" idea is awful, there only should be lists here. --~~~~ [talk] 21:43, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Why mention fire stations and not bulletin boards? Ive still found some unsprayed. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 21:46, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm for:

1. removing Fire Stations
2. adding factories
3. maybe adding auto repairs too
4. not touching anything else

Factories are a bonus, definately. Would you consider all multi block buildings? Power stations, zoo's etc? --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 21:51, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

oh... yes... that would be good i guess... modifying Mall section into "lagre structures"?.. --~~~~ [talk] 22:09, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Status of the TRPs!

I suggest that this template uses Template:Status, rather than putting Wiki links into a list.

Firstly, it would make finding out the status of the building easier to locate. Assuming, of course, that the Danger Reports were updated frequently.

It would also cut down on the amount of building links that lead to disambiguation pages. (For example, I stumbled upon one today whilst looking at St. Odile's Hospital.)

It is bolder, which means it would stand out more than the template does at the moment.

For a version of the template using Template:Status alongside those currently being used, see this page.

One thing at a time. Althought the status reporters created danger reports for the BIC centres they didn;t actually put all the danger reports on the relevant pages how can people edit them? --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 10:44, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

I see what you mean. I'll sort that out now. --Rahrah^{Come join the #party!}10:58, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

I have found the source of this problem. This bot made the danger reports but didn't put them on the pages. I'm using its contributions page to do so. --Rahrah^{Come join the #party!}11:29, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Although the ones by BulkUpdatesBot that arent on the pages aren't the TRPs represented by this template. All Hospitals, Necrotechs, PDs, FSs and Malls are accounted for. Therefore, there should be no problems with this template. Although the Danger Reports still need doing. --Rahrah^{Come join the #party!}13:03, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
