::On a related note, however, one of my other wiki team members (rather serendipitously) just reopened a discussion about {{tl|CMBSite}} that began when it was created more than a year ago. Given that he was around at its inception, he's in a position to provide some valuable insight, and there is an entire thread detailing the template's creation that I didn't even know existed until now. I've added you the Wiki OOC usergroup on the forum, which will allow you to access [url=https://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?p=867129#p867129]that discussion thread[/url], as well as the Wiki Staff forum. I think it's important that you be able to participate in that discussion, since you are one of the people making use of the template in question. Please let me know if you have any difficulty accessing that part of the forum. I and the rest of the team look forward to hearing your thoughts! - [[User:Djavin novienta|Djavin novienta]] ([[User talk:Djavin novienta|talk]]) 13:05, 10 June 2017 (CDT)

:::Thanks for adding me to the forum group, although I don't seem to be able to post a reply. I find it interesting that some see "clutter" when looking at the template's arguments when in fact it provides an easy way to enter missing information. I could have easily removed any argument that wasn't used, but left them instead on purpose so that someone running the sites (I'm in Angel space) could fairly easily fill in the blanks. I see clutter when I look at the old version of the [[Blood Forsaken Rally Point]] or the [[Guristas Haven]] pages, although the later could easily happen within the CMBSite template... I appreciate you including me in the "debate" of the merits of a given template or format but personally I prefer spending my time actually editing as I don't know much about the intricacies of running a wiki and the demand on resources caused by large parsing templates.

:::PS. It dawns on me that the CMBSite template is also used for Combat Signature Sites so it would need another argument such as SiteType: <pre>{{#ifeq: {{{SiteType}}} | Anomaly | {{Combat Anomalies|{{{Faction|}}} }} |}}</pre> I don't know if there is a similar Combat Signature template, but if there was, it could also be called when appropriate using something like <pre>{{#if: {{{SiteType}}} | {{Combat {{{SiteType}}}|{{{Faction|}}} }} |}}</pre> - Sincerely, --[[User:Jean inkura|Jean inkura]] ([[User talk:Jean inkura|talk]]) 18:05, 10 June 2017 (CDT)
