Live Template Preview

What sort of templates are you talking about? Actual templates (Equipment Item) or data templates (specific item data, e.g. Template:Data<Item Name>)?

Specific data templates. Such as Template:DataMonsterX

Use the template inside the the data. E.g.

{{{{{1|StyleEquip}}}
|Name=...
}}

See Template:DataTropical_Beach_Sandals_(F) as example I just did.

Could you give me that code in data monster form?

Just replace the "StyleEquip" with the template you wish you default it to. For monsters, "StyleMonster"

See http://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/index.php?title=Template:DataMonsterYoung_Brown_Fox&curid=70264&diff=666378&oldid=627205

So I was wondering why this added preview wasn't done on data pages before. For your Tropical Beach Sandals example, the Template doesn't show up under "Reforgable Equipment", even though on the Template:DataTropical_Beach_Sandals_(F) page it's listed as one of the Categories at the bottom of the page. This is a good thing, since you don't want certain Categories flooded with Templates, but I was just wondering if perhaps that was the reason that {{{{{1|StyleEquip}}} |Name=... }} was used only for previewing your work, and then changed back to {{{{{1}}} |Name=... }} in case it added the Template to some Categories.

So basically - does keeping the "StyleEquip" in the item's Template page have any negative side effects? Just if you happen to know - thank you ^^;

Actually, it does, under "DataTropical...". http://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/index.php?title=Category:Reforgable_Equipment&pagefrom=D

That being one of the reasons they weren't included from the beginning I guess.

As to other side effects, I don't know of any off the top of my head.

Oh - hey there... Well, good to know not to look under "T" for "Template" but instead under "D" for "Template:Data" - because Wiki /o/

But all right, yeah, wouldn't want to have Template:Datas clogging up the Categories xD;
