This is great! Let's adopt it into the non-sandboxed version ASAP. I've also been thinking that we should change the blue table to have two columns instead of two rows:

Requirement {{{num}}}

{{:{{{page}}}/Requirement/{{{num}}}}}

We should also add de and pt-br to the supported languages. Sometimes it takes me longer to come around than it should. --Jomegat (talk) 08:00, 8 November 2020 (EST)

That's a very good idea with the two columns. Looks great.

Okay... I'll see what I can do. Maybe I will need some kind of a plugin or so. What has to be done is written in the template maybe somebody will have an idea about my main problem.

No problem me too :)

Don't you think it is better to wait with the languages and add them with a bot all at once? --DesignerThan (talk) 10:54, 8 November 2020 (EST)

I did some work at the Template. I hope you guys will like those!

I moved the button into the table. That way the answer collapses all the way. I also moved it in a own Template, that way it will be useable in many places. It would also be possible to use it to show/hide all the answers with one push of the "button" but for that see the discussion of the template.--DesignerThan (talk) 19:48, 8 November 2020 (EST)

Wow, I am so behind. I have NOT had time to look at everything. I will try to do so this week. It seems like you guys are making a lot of progress! -- w126jep (talk) 20:09, 8 November 2020 (EST)

There's no need to have a bot add languages to the "requirement" templates. We usually do that by hand as there are only a handful of templates. Jaceil... don't worry about being super engaged right now. You have a lot on your plate In Real Life and this seems to be coming along nicely. I've extracted the requirements from all the honors except the ones in the Recreation, SG&O, and Vocational categories so far. I have been making some tweaks to the requirements here and there, like adding a requirement 6 when the honor has a 6a and 6b, but no 6 as a parent, and adding subrequirement letters here and there where they are missing. It doesn't change anything about the requirements except that it adds the metadata structure I need to make this stuff work. I'd like to add a template to all the .../Requirements pages so that it shows the name of the honor, and maybe the patch and skill level. The patch will be more difficult since we're specifying that in the honor_desc template in the answer keys. Once we have worked out a template (the coding as well as the presentation), I can put a bot together to add it to all the requirements pages.

I was looking at an IA page today, and saw some of the kludges we have in place for including requirements for honors. Now that we're on track to have each requirement on its own page, that can be cleaned up and formatted more nicely.

It came to me the other day that instead of using a Wikibot that understands the Translate extension for handling the mechanical translation of the requirements into Spanish, we could use a more generic screen-scraping robot instead. There are several out there. --Jomegat (talk) 20:24, 8 November 2020 (EST)
