Forum:Regarding the For template

Now, I'm certain that many of you know about the For template. And for the most part it works fine. However, I personally think in some instances, it's being used in cases that it may not be needed. For example on the MSMC page, we currently have it set up for "For similar looking weapons, see Uzi and PP2000.". Now while it does bear resemblance to these weapons, the names are incredibly different, in the case of the PP2000 they're a different weapon class, and they don't even appear in the same game. For this reason, I don't see how users could be getting weapons like this confused, and don't think that "similar looking weapons" is a strong enough reason to be using the For template. Other pages have also done this in the past, such as the Pyteak page having it link to the MG4 page, which once again, sounds nothing alike, and is in a completely different game.

For these reasons, I beleive we should set up a guideline for usage of the For template, so it only applies to similar named items, or same name, different universe items. And not for something such as similarity. While it may work on Wikipedia, it has no real function here. 14:40, May 15, 2015 (UTC)
