Adding screenshot?

I think this template could be better with the "screenshot" feature. The "mappic" does not resize the image to a small picture like the replaybox2. I'm trying to understand HTML better and some wiki info, so i'm asking for someone change this.

I was trying to edit the template, but i didn't do it because i think i would receive a lot of CAPITAL LETTERS and bad words. Sorry my small knoledge about those things, but what i tried to edit was this:

: [[:Image:{{{file|{{{1}}}}}}|View scheme settings]]</td></tr> {{#if:{{{map|}}}|{{Map example|isInTable=1|map={{{map}}}|wmdb={{{wmdb|}}}|screenshot={{{screenshot}}}|screensize={{{screensize|180px}}}|mappic={{{mappic|}}}|mappic-v={{{mappic-v|}}}}}}}

Am i right or it would be a stupid edition? FoxHound 23:29, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

The "mappic" was supposed to include a map example like this - in monochrome of course. I made that parameter and the image. If you just want to include a screenshot for your scheme, just put it on the scheme page like this. I guess you have gotten the idea. --Explorer09 13:23, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, i didn't know that the "|thumb|" could resize the image exactly like screen shot. But i didn't do this suggestion only for my scheme, i still think that would be nice to put "thumb" or "screenshot" in game setup template. I'm not saying that we need to substitute the "mappic" just add one more possibility. FoxHound 12:38, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

I still don't get the idea of why you want to add the "screenshot" parameter. If what you wanted is just fixing the width of the "mappic", then I will suggest that you make the thumbnail for that. The image sizing feature in MediaWiki is not wise enough. For non-framed images, setting the width will force the image to stretch/contract to the desired width, even though the image was originally smaller than that. For framed images, it'll work as you expected. --Explorer09 22:33, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Scheme links are broken, with bugs or not working

All schemes of WKB seems to be impossible to download right now. A strange screen appears when trying to download a scheme. The only possible way I think is downloading a replay and extracting the scheme from it.--FoxHound (talk) 16:08, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Couple of ideas for this template

I think this template takes up a lot of vertical space (which is a problem on pages with variations, see Rope Race) so I'm gonna see about making it a little bit squatter. Also: worth adding indication of hostingbuddy support and the WSDB #id. I'll throw up a prototype later. Run! (talk) 08:10, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Ok, so I've done a template at User:Run!/sandbox. Some examples to right (obviously the title can be the name of the scheme, or scheme variation - here I'm describing the use of the template). Things I changed:
  • two columns to help make the template less tall
  • added hostingbuddy support
  • added wsdb id (despite these additions the template isn't any taller)
  • can now link to a wmdb category or search
  • makes Template:Scheme obsolete
  • makes Template:Map example obsolete
