I wouldn't say it's obsolete by [[:Template:Faction Diplomacy]], as the new template is far too large to be properly used for every NPC faction in my opinion (iirc it was intended for player factions anyways). I would not replace the old one with this one - the old one is doing a fine job and I don't think it would look good if we had full rep sheets on every page that make up 80% of it's content. [[:Template:Faction Diplomacy]] is nice, but I think it should one be used on player faction pages.[[User:Nathrael|:: Nathrael ::]] <sup><small>[[User_talk:Nathrael|Talklink]] [http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?showuser=8787 Datalink] [mailto:nathrael@tacticalgamer.com Commlink]

Let me repeat myself, it is not a template. The wiki markup has just been copied to the different pages. Therefore it makes no practical difference if we delete the template. Also, I agree with you that [[:Template:Faction Diplomacy]] has a tendency to become too large. But to be fair, so does [[:Template:Allies]] if used in the same way. It is a problem with both solutions. To fix this problem, I have proposed a way of using [[:Template:Faction Diplomacy]] in a better way on [[:Template talk:Faction Diplomacy]]. As far as design goes, [[:Template:Faction Diplomacy]] has more potential to be a universal diplomacy template, so for the sake of consistency I highly recommend that we focus on improving it rather than using multiple separate templates. <span style="white-space:pre;">-- [[User:Eyvind|Eyvind]] ([[User_talk:Eyvind|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Eyvind|contrib]]) </span> 09:40, 28 February 2009 (MST)

Category:Diplomacy Templates

These templates have been made obsolete by Template:Faction Diplomacy.

-- Eyvind (talkcontrib) 04:37, 24 February 2009 (MST)

Template:Allies

This template is not a template and has been made obsolete by Template:Faction Diplomacy. This "template" is in use on most faction pages, but since that's simply transcribed wiki markup this page is useless. We will need to replace usage occurances of this "template" with Template:Faction Diplomacy
