User talk:Ryan W/Sandbox/Template:Mapsortkey

Second opinion(s) requested...
The current situation is imperfect because a few pages are still categorized wrongly, and editors attempting to fix them manually get a big scary warning (multiple DEFAULTSORT calls). Obviously I'm no programmer, so I'll wait for any reactions/corrections before proceeding.

If nobody cares, my plan is to:
 * Test in Template:Transit (only impacts one article).
 * Move new template into template space.
 * Test in Template:Map and see if the site crashes. :D
 * Use new template in all other hub navboxes, even where it has no effect, so that future navboxes copypasting that markup will inherit the fixes.

Possible objections include:
 * This is unnecessary because the volume has been low enough to handle manually. (Disagree &mdash; even if the modding community vanished tomorrow, we'd have documented maybe 10% of notable levels to date.)
 * If we implement this, the previously manually fixed pages will show the red warning on ANY subsequent edit. (Yeah, my fault I'm afraid.   I'd go back and remove all those obviously.)

Thoughts anyone? Ryan W (talk) 13:11, 17 October 2015 (CDT)
