Template talk:IAConnection

The template is adding a weird line below the template

It's because you're placing a wiki link in argument number two {{{2}}}, and then placing arg 2 inside a category (which is itself a link). Lose the link in the swimming honor, and the problem will go away. --Jomegat (talk) 22:04, 15 November 2014 (EST)

Alternatively, you could change the template to not add it to a category relying on arg 2. That's what I recommend. It's also creating all kinds of strange categories because arg 2 often has a lot of text in it, and the template make that text become part of a category name. That's probably not what you want. When arg 2 has a link in it, it breaks worse. I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish with the category. If you would explain your intentions, I might be able to help. --Jomegat (talk) 22:06, 15 November 2014 (EST)

I copied the template from Prereq, and don't fully understand how it works it seems. I am not trying to create any category based in arg 2.

A category of "Honors with a IA Connection" would be somewhat helpful - for identifying honors to translate first and for the Pathfinder Leader who is looking for a good honor to teach that will help with IA levels. I suggest including in the category, and I am using the template on, Honors that fall in 1-3.

Including the Advanced Ribbons there are 4 kinds of honors

1. . Completion always required by IA (core honors - like Red Alert, CG&M)
2. . Completion optionally required by IA (optional honors - Beginning Swimming vs BWS)
3. . IA partly covers (related honors - like Seeds)
4. . Everything else (optional stuff for the Pathfinder program)
