I think there should be a suggested slot column so the creator can put what slot is the most fitting for their track. --[[User:Bcphoton|Bcphoton]] ([[User talk:Bcphoton|talk]]) 04:48, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

I dont see the reason why a CT needs a Mirror download link when no track uses it.

I expected that people would use mirrors eventually, but it never happened. I added that option because it is traditional to prevent broken links in other development communities in case a link goes dead or bandwidth is exceeeded. But seeing as no one uses it here, I'll remove it. ---Jefe 22:55, 11 March 2012 (CET)

Suggested Slot

I think there should be a suggested slot column so the creator can put what slot is the most fitting for their track. --Bcphoton (talk) 04:48, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

That's not a bad idea. Unfortunately, if I add any new fields to the template, it will create errors on all pages that use it, although that could be fixed via bot. Keep in mind though, this template is also used for other types of pages, not just CTs. Back when I made this one I tried to cover as many bases as I could think of while keeping it generalized for different types of pages.
With all the reorganizing that's going on, it's probably a good time to evaluate our current info templates. I think the difficulty field is only marginally useful since it is subjective. People can get a good idea of difficultly by looking at a video of the level. A field like "Replaces," "Slot" "Special Requirements" would be better, I think. --Jefe (talk) 07:25, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
