Template talk:User Favorite Arceus

Update to account for Fairy Arceus

Pretty self explanatory, this userbox seemingly does not support Fairy Arceus (i tried doing {{User Favorite Arceus|-Fairy|Fairy}} to see if it would work, though Fairy isn't actually my favourite one). Sorry if this talk page ends up being a mess btw, first time creating a talk page but i'm assuming this should work. ButSmeargleCan'tUseTheMove (talk) 19:15, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

Yeah, this might be a tricky one. The template uses the Gen 4 sprites for Arceus, and supports the 'unknown' type Arceus (aka '???') as a result - which a few users have on their userpages. Fairy only shows up from Gen 6 onwards, as you'd expect, so there isn't any overlap. It would definitely be possible to rig something up so that it uses one set of sprites for the existing types and the Gen 4 sprites for the unknown type, but it'd be a little more involved than a minor code change. If nobody else gets around to it, I'm happy to have a look when time allows and get something sorted. Cipher (talk) 20:38, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

Ok, so i had an idea on how to do this: can't we make redirect files where if something would display a file with a given name, it displays a different one instead? We could make file:493-Fairy.png redirect to a different image. ButSmeargleCan'tUseTheMove (talk) 17:15, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
