Template talk:CombinerNav
A couple of notes on 2002:
- Exo-Raptor and Bahrag Spider are fan names, but they're relatively widely-used, and less of a mouthful than "Alternate Cahdok & Gahdok."
- "Japanese Bohrok Combiner," on the other hand, probably could use a better name. It was only recently discovered on BZP about six or so months ago, and so it doesn't really have an established fan name yet. If anyone knows Japanese and could do a little digging on the web page where the model was discovered, maybe we could get more info and a better name.
- I'm not sure what current opinion is on Ranama/Kirikori Nui, but even if they don't get Set pages, I could potentially add an "Other" section to the 2002 navbox and link to the set information heading of their regular pages.
Thoughts? --Volitak Boxor (talk) 03:28, 17 May 2015 (CEST)
- Should be fine, as long as it's in quotation marks.
- on my to-do list of languages to learn, but it'll have to do for now.
- That's fine, but they definitely aren't getting sets pages.

- Ok, Kirikori/Ranama links are in. I thought about putting in a version of the Combiner template on those pages, under set information, since they aren't getting Set pages, but since there's so little info besides instructions, I decided not to. --Volitak Boxor (talk) 16:31, 17 May 2015 (CEST)
On the Kolhii Matoran Combiner, "Kolhii" is misspelled as "Kohlii." Also, someone should add the newly discovered Kabaya Matoran Combiner (Set:8584+8585+8586). I was unaware I wasn't allowed to edit the Template. Cheesy Mac n Cheese (talk) 02:53, 12 June 2015 (CEST)
- No, your changes took effect. The big version of the template with all the years' sets that shows up on the Template page is entirely independent from the single-year versions of the template that appear on individual set pages. You changed the 2003 version of the template, but you also have to make those changes again manually to the full version of the template. Plus, when you change the individual year versions of the template, you can't preview what you did, and it takes a little while for the changes to propagate to the Set pages (it threw me off the first time I tried working with the Set template). Anyway, I repeated your changes for the big template, so we should be good to go. --Volitak Boxor (talk) 04:21, 12 June 2015 (CEST)
- Ah, I see. Thank you. Cheesy Mac n Cheese (talk) 04:27, 12 June 2015 (CEST)
2015
I tried to get the 2015 section of the template up and running, in case we want to start putting Gen 2 combiner pages into the set database, but there's very little to go on in terms of names. The Protector/Toa combos are advertised in the instructions with the phrase Power Up, but a Club magazine article also refers to these models collectively as Super Toa. The more complex Tahu/PoF combiner is referred to as a "Special Tahu build" in another Club magazine section, but that name isn't very descriptive. "Multi-Headed Warrior" (which actually only has one head) and "Powered-Up Skull Grinder" come from shop page descriptions. I don't really like these names, but I don't know if there's anything else to use. Any suggestions? --Volitak Boxor (talk) 04:41, 5 July 2015 (CEST)
- I would go with "Power Up" for those six, since multiple sources call it that. The Special Tahu I would call "Special Tahu" (simple, right?), which I guess would also apply to the Kopaka model? I don't really know what to do about the Skull Creatures, I'd probably just wait and see if we get any better titles with the inevitable website update. -- Dorek Talk 08:32, 5 July 2015 (CEST)
- Okay, so more or less what I had already. I really hope the summer combiners get mentioned in story or the magazine or something, because the placeholder names are lousy. Anyway, I had an idea for another way to organize this part of the template, since the Power Up forms aren't really like other combiners; they're more like just giving Protector weapons/armor to the Toa without any major structural reassembly. Anyway, it's in my sandbox. Think that's any better? --Volitak Boxor (talk) 16:33, 5 July 2015 (CEST)
