Images[edit]

Probably a good idea to add the same 'no images in userspace' thing here as Template:CardTable2. 1) Has encouraged people to ignore the warning and uploaded personal images here. 2) Fair-use images have been added quite a few times. -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 13:04, August 15, 2011 (UTC)

You mean advising against it in the template's documentation, or preventing the use of images in userspace in the template itself? ダイノガイ千?!? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 21:33, August 19, 2011 (UTC)
About adding the part that says
#switch: Template talk
| User | User talk = <!-- no images in userspace -->
in the Card Table, to here. -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 00:36, August 20, 2011 (UTC)
All right, just making sure. Done. =) ダイノガイ千?!? · ☎ Dinoguy1000

Partner parameters[edit]

Should we remove the "partner" and "previous partner" parameters? They're just something copied over from the shared character infobox we used to use. Had we come up with all the parameters from scratch, I doubt these would have been put in. They're not something particularly significant among Yu-Gi-Oh! characters. It seems they're being used because they exist, rather than they exist because they're needed. In other words, people are just filling them in for the sake of using them. Some recent stuff that's been added are Joey WheelerRed-Eyes Black Dragon and Rex RaptorWeevil Underwood. I think this was brought up before; It might be worth replacing it with a Spirit Partner parameter though. Although I don't know what could be used to link the Spirit to the human in that case. -- Deltaneos (talk) 14:48, June 21, 2012 (UTC)

Can we agree on this much; possessing a card that has appeared in spirit form does not make you its partner, simply doing something with someone does not make you their partner? If the parameters are to be kept, can we restrict them to just business partners and legitimate spirit partners? -- Deltaneos (talk) 08:18, July 2, 2012 (UTC)
I'm thinking the whole thing is too thorny/complicated to be distilled into a couple infobox parameters. IMO, we should remove the parameters and let the prose explain the relationship. ディノ千?!? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 08:34, July 2, 2012 (UTC)
Yes, agreed. It's more trouble than its worth. Cheesedude (talkcontribs) 16:42, July 2, 2012 (UTC)
With those been throw out, I does agree with all that - all cards that they chose are their "favorite", beside "Kuriboh" which companied Yugi/Yami Yugi for most of the time, are just physical card(s) - nothing more. Judai and his gang have see more spirit than card, like Ojama Yellow, Big Koala, Winged Kuriboh etc. Way more than Original Series. In 5D's, just less, only Luca and Aki see them allot. --iFredCat 12:13, November 14, 2012 (UTC)

Affiliations[edit]

This has recently been being used in the same way as "partner", with certain edits even adopting it as the replacement for those parameters. Saying that Number 39: Utopia (character) is affiliated with Astral, for example. Even in cases where its used properly, I'm not sure its really worth noting in the infobox. Any thoughts. Cheesedude (talkcontribs) 04:05, March 1, 2013 (UTC)

That section seems messy to me. It can cover any clique, race, home world, mutually destined group, organisation, school, gang or cult someone has been a part of. And now, anyone they've served? The usage is far too broad, in my opinion. I'm in favour of having it removed. -- Deltaneos (talk) 21:44, March 1, 2013 (UTC)
