I can't seem to get this template to work if the parameter input is a table. If the table is used from a template (e.g. {{SkillTable}}), the table will just show properly. However, if the input is a table code, e.g.:

{|
|Something
|}

nothing will show up. The pipelines all have to be changed into {{!}}:

{{{!}}
{{!}}Something
{{!}}}

and then the table would display correctly. It will be very tedious if every single pipelines have to be replaced, so this template cannot be implemented at the moment. Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 17:29, August 23, 2013 (UTC)

Could use use the pipe template in the template itself? That way, you could use the pipes in the parameters. -- LostInRiverview ^{talk ~ blog} 17:46, August 23, 2013 (UTC)

I've tried. I made this template use another one (like {{Sim3}} uses {{Sim}} as the base template) to no avail. Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 17:51, August 23, 2013 (UTC)

I'll have to play around with the template to be able to be any help. I'll copy it over to my testpage and see what I can see. -- LostInRiverview ^{talk ~ blog} 17:54, August 23, 2013 (UTC)

I have it loaded on a test page but I don't notice any problems. Perhaps you could make an edit to that page and demonstrate the issue? -- LostInRiverview ^{talk ~ blog} 18:12, August 23, 2013 (UTC)

Here. The relationships and memories tabs will not display anything other than "{". Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 18:23, August 23, 2013 (UTC)

The relationships and memories don't have their own templates (like {{SkillTable}} et al), so my suggestion would be to create templates for those and see if it works. -- LostInRiverview ^{talk ~ blog} 18:30, August 23, 2013 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure it will work. I'm trying to figure out a way without making their own templates. There's a reason why we don't have them. There's limitless range for a Sim's relationships, memories, and inventory, and I can't think of any efficient way to make a template for that (especially since they're more less tables). Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 18:48, August 23, 2013 (UTC)

I had no choice but to make a template for relationships and memories (both can share the same template), {{RelTable}} and its subtemplate, {{RelTable/content}}. It's rather crude, but at least it can cover the unlimited range of rows. Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 06:41, September 9, 2013 (UTC)

Example of usage can be seen at the Sandbox. I must say... it looks rather messier than I originally thought it would be. Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 06:51, September 9, 2013 (UTC)

Under construction

I don't get it. The template looks and functions fine. Why is it considered to be under construction? And why is it not recommended to be used outside the sandbox?

Is it that the page hasn't been updated, and that the "under construction" template should be removed? -- C.Syde (talk | contribs) 03:47, November 11, 2014 (UTC)
