:I would also like to further suggest a change to the existing template. The new code is in [[User:Chenzw/Pokémon Infobox Test]], which adds a new parameter (currently named <code>flipname</code>) to correct for cases where the forme name goes after the species name (Zygarde, Hoopa). If a non-blank value is passed to <code>flipname</code>, the image caption and alt text will be rendered as <species name> <forme name>, instead of the old <forme name> <species name>. The new change to the template is backward compatible with all existing articles (so no changes to existing articles are needed), does not interfere with mega evolutions, and I have tested it on various existing articles by "substituting-previewing" the article with the modified template: Castform, Rotom, Deoxys, Charizard, Shaymin, Zygarde (with and without the new parameter), Hoopa (with and without the new parameter). I hope for your consideration in this matter, or at least some sign that the staff is looking into this change.

::Adding another #if is not the best idea. I've gone ahead and noted a couple updates that are needed [[Template talk:Pokémon Infobox#Some updates|on the infobox's talk page]] where hopefully they'll be easy to find/remember. Right now, Chenzw, I can tell you that changing that template is not a trivial matter. I'm not sure when we might get to it, but we are mostly aware of the issue.

:::Oh... an override parameter is indeed more lightweight :P In the meantime, are you able to answer my previous question about <code>egggroupn</code>, or should I move it to the template's talk page instead? [[User:Chenzw|Chenzw]] ([[User talk:Chenzw|talk]]) 04:46, 18 April 2016 (UTC) | |||
