== Totem Pokémon and template trouble == | |||
[[Totem Pokémon]] and the totem-sized Pokémon available in USUM have different weights from their normal-sized counterparts, so they ought to be listed separately here like any other form that affects weight. The only problem, then, is that the {{template|weight/entry}} template rather inelegantly pulls the form names from a lookup table according to the menu sprite used, rather than allowing the form names to be defined in their own parameter like the display names (which have parameters <code>n1</code> through <code>n6</code>). You can already see the effects of this with Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist—since the different sizes don't have different menu sprites, the article has | |||
:'''Average Size Pumpkaboo''' | |||
rather than the more reasonable | |||
:'''Pumpkaboo'''<br><small>''Average Size''</small> | |||
And I feel like "Totem-sized Alolan Marowak" would be really clumsy-looking in bold text. The best solution would be to add another parameter to {{template|weight/entry}} (probably <code>f1</code> through <code>f6</code>) to provide form names, and do away with the menu-sprite lookup table. (And while we're at it, {{template|height/entry}} could use the same treatment.) I'd probably be figuring out how to this myself if the templates weren't both protected. — [[User:Randomwaffle23|Randomwaffle23]] ([[User talk:Randomwaffle23|talk]]) 20:43, 15 September 2018 (UTC) | |||
