Hello. I was wondering how to utilize additional colors (such as for regions and for specific games) for '''[[Template:youtubevid]]'''. I think I managed to do it on the pages for [[Pokémon Origins]] and [[Nintendo Direct]] once before.. However, on the page for [[M18]], I cannot properly integrate the "OmegaRuby" and "AlphaSapphire" colors or the "Hoenn" colors to make the '''"youtubevid"''' template visually match with the rest of the page. I thought that the list of game colors was '''[[:Category:Game_color_templates|here]]''' and that the list of region colors was '''[[:Category:Color_templates|here]]''', although I am having difficulties in using them. Thanks in advance for the help! [[User:Fenyx4|Fenyx4]] ([[User talk:Fenyx4|talk]]) 20:51, 21 January 2016 (UTC) | Hello.

:I've fixed the uses of the template on [[M18]], and you can see the changes I made there. That should help you to better understand how the template works. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 05:11, 24 January 2016 (UTC) | :I've fixed the uses of the template on [[M18]], and you can see the changes I made there.

::Thank you very much for the response! I examined your edit, and I think that I have a better handle on how the template works now. Apparently, I thought that the "channel/?????" (alternatively, "user/?????") portion was optional and thought that the "by ?????" portion essentially served the same function, leading me to just omit the "channel/?????" portion... However, from what I can see now, it looks like there is a small difference - one is for display purposes and the other is for URL-linking of specific YouTube users/user-channels. I will keep the distinction in mind for future edits with the hopes of improving other articles with integrated video links; thanks again for the clarity!

'''Example''': In the entry for [[Destiny Knot]], the section has the small words "Red Thread", which in turn has a link to a Wikipedia page about the "Red String of Fate". If "Destiny Knot" had its own Bulbapedia article, would there be a way to make '''the big bold-faced words "Destiny Knot"''' point to such an article? It appears that I am having link/template difficulties.. Thanks in advance for the help.

:It is not possible to make the name "Destiny Knot" in the template link to another article. The way to link to a main item article can be found at [[Poké Ball#Master Ball|the Master Ball section of the Poké Ball article]] (You will need to expand the template to see it in action). Please keep in mind, however, {{bp|Staff|we}} are considering options regarding giving items their own unique articles. Thus, such articles should not be created until we have a distinct format finalized for such articles.

::Thank you very much for the reply! It is unfortunate that such linking cannot be properly performed.. In any case, I viewed the example that you provided for the [[Master Ball]]; it currently seems like a usable workaround (although admittedly, I initially missed seeing that text since I tend to focus more on the left-side text than the right-side text, probably because Item names are boldfaced on the left side.. XD). I am glad to hear that additional options (in terms of "Item" articles) are undergoing staff consideration/deliberation. | |||
::The main reason I was inquiring was because of the current existence of articles for several [[Generation 3]] [[Event item|event]] [[key item]]s, such as the [[Eon Ticket]] and the [[Old Sea Map]]. I will wait for further deliberation regarding standard Items, then. However, in regards to the Key Items that already have their own articles (mostly visible '''[[:Category:Key items|here]]'''), is it permissible to link to the already-existing articles while refraining from ''creating'' articles on standard Items (like the Destiny Knot, etc.)? Or should I refrain from linking to the already-existing "Key Item" articles as well until further deliberation has occurred? Thanks for your help.
