Code names

Lock/Stock/Barrel (source) seems to be missing from this template. Can someone with the proper rights please add them? AlmaV (talk) 10:00, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

New Template Suggestion

Hi all. So, looking at this template, I have a few problems with it, and was wondering if a new template would help to address this. My issues are as follows:

1) The standalone sets are going to get bigger. As we move forward, with the Three-And-One block model, it's going to just keep inflating at the top and not the bottom.

2) Putting the standalone sets before the blocks implies that the standalone sets came first, followed by the blocks. While that was the case before (except for Homelands coming after Ice Age), it is no longer the case now.

3) Core sets are listed separately, leaving no way for the reader to tell when they were released relative to the expansions.

4) Portal/Starter are listed. These sets were never Standard-legal. They were products meant to introduce new players to the game. In that regard, they were a different type of product trying to attract a different type of audience. Were this done today, it would likely be a supplemental product, and listed on that template instead.

5) Chronicles isn't listed. On the flip side of the coin, Chronicles was Standard-legal at the time of its release. Yeah, it was all reprints, but it was still a Standard expansion. I mean, for all we know, maybe Ixalan is all reprints too, and has no new cards. Unlikely, sure, but it's possible. If that were to happen, would we strike it from this template? My gut says no.

Why can't we do something like this?

Not perfect, perhaps, as it is a bit harder to read, but it's a hell of a lot better than what we have now. I think it does need some fine-tuning, but this is a good starting point to work from, and it addresses all of my complaints with the current template. --GoldenSandslash15 (talk) 14:39, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

I like the idea. I upgraded the thing a bit.to have more structure and also to include the special sets. I would like to hear some feedback.-Yandere Sliver 15:22, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

Okay, so, here's what's wrong with yours:

1) You list Revised as an expansion, rather than a core set. (I'm assuming that this was accidental.)

2) The Portal/Starter sets are still listed, implying that they were Standard-legal when they weren't. Heck, until 2005, they weren't even legal in Legacy or Vintage. They REALLY ought to be in the special sets section. I have yet to hear an argument to the contrary.

3) Chronicles is still listed as a special set, in addition to a Standard set. Pick one or the other. Personally, I recommend Standard, since it was Standard-legal at the time. Yeah, Renaissance will be lonely, but you can always add Salvat 2005 and Salvat 2011 and name that section "foreign language products".

4) Core sets are separated from the expansions on your template, making it hard to tell which order these all came out in. Was Magic 2013 legal with Theros? The answer is no. My version makes that clear. Yours does not. I could live with this, though. If we have to list core sets separately, this is the way to go. It is much easier to read, so I am willing to concede this point.

While I'm willing to concede point #4 (although I'd still rather do it my way), point #1 to point #3 are pretty big issues, imo. --GoldenSandslash15 (talk) 16:30, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
