Wouldn't you want to use the honor_desc/es template here, instead of the English version? --w126jep (talk) 21:31, 20 November 2014 (EST)

Not sure what you're asking. This doesn't use honor_desc/es - honor_desc/es uses this. --Jomegat (talk) 22:10, 20 November 2014 (EST)
No, you're right. I'm trying to figure out stuff on here with about 3 hours of sleep (infants have that effect). Definitely not good. I confused the note that you left with it being part of the markup. --w126jep (talk) 22:23, 20 November 2014 (EST)

It's been so long ago that I wrote this that I don't remember how it works at all. Took me a while to even figure out what it does. Lesson learned: Templates should have documentation explaining what they do, what the arguments are, and maybe how they work.
From what I can tell, if a "lower" honor is a prerequisite for a "higher" honor, the higher one gets added to the AYHAB/Prerequisite/lower_honor category (sorry for abbreviating). So basically, lower_honor is a prerequisite for everything in category:AYHAB/Prerequisite/lower_honor.
Honor_desc will run See_Also on the honor it is describing, and if it finds anything in that category, it uses DPL to list everything that lower_honor is a prerequisite of.
I wonder if it would help to use the English relationships in See_Also/es, but make it use the Spanish translations in the DPL specification. Not sure. Anyhow, I did notice that the DPL stuff is missing from See_Also/es. --Jomegat (talk) 21:46, 6 May 2020 (EDT)

Honor "X" is a prerequisite for Honor "Y"

→ The Honor Prerequisite template must be filled out with Honor "X" in it, and then this template must be included in Honor "Y"'s page manually.
→ Using the #if function, the Honor Desc template will check if Honor "Y" is a Primary page.
→ If Honor "Y" is a Primary page (most cases are), Honor Desc will run the See Also template.
  • The See Also template will check if there exists a Prerequisite Category page for Honor "X."
→ If a page for Prerequisite Category for Honor "X" exists, the See Also template will create and include the collapsible table in the honor description.
