Template talk:Ketchideath

@DaniPine3: Your new version of the Ketchideath template is screwing around with a bunch of pages that were created before you made your version of Ketchideath. So I made {{Ketchideath0}} to keep those pages from breaking. Please don't change anything about my new {{Ketchideath0}} template. Alright? Oᑭöᔑᔑᙀᙏ (addicted) 00:02, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

@OPOSSUM: what problem does this new version of the template gives? all I did was add the links; it's not like I added new css or that stuff... DaniPine3 (talk) 00:26, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

@DaniPine3: A bunch of pages ended up with two "you may: respawn"s, and one of them would often send you back to the beginning of the game Oᑭöᔑᔑᙀᙏ (addicted) 00:30, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

@OPOSSUM: and you couldn't delete the unnecessary 'respawn' instead? (also, one of the respawns linked you to the beginning becaise noew you have to add to the template where do you want the respawn to link...) DaniPine3 (talk) 00:34, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

@DaniPine3: It was a lot easier to make a new template and add a 0 to each page. Oᑭöᔑᔑᙀᙏ (addicted) 00:46, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

@OPOSSUM: which are the pages where this happened? perhaps I can fix it without using the 0 template... DaniPine3 (talk) 00:50, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

@DaniPine3: Nope, I already Ketchideath0'd all of them Oᑭöᔑᔑᙀᙏ (addicted) 00:51, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

@OPOSSUM: yea, but I can un-Ketchideath0'd them... the whole point to this new addition to the template was so that there was a coherence between the different game overs, as some had the 'restart' and 'quit' links, whereas others simply had 'respawn'. DaniPine3 (talk) 00:59, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

@DaniPine3: good luck Ketchideathing all 200 or so pages… at least when I added the "Escape from Ojai" category to all the EFO pages, I could just copy and paste the same category over and over… Oᑭöᔑᔑᙀᙏ (addicted) 01:06, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

@OPOSSUM: hold on, 200??? How are there that many???? are those all the pages the UnGame has, or only the ones that have game over???? DaniPine3 (talk) 01:10, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

@DaniPine3: Turns out that Make it to Ketchikan has only 167 pages right now, but ok, I estimate that only like 75 or so of them have death messages, but still, that is a lot. And the number will keep on growing. Oᑭöᔑᔑᙀᙏ (addicted) 01:16, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

@OPOSSUM: I knew 200 was too much... anyways, if the number will keep growing, then the answer will be to use this template from now on, ain't it? I think I managed to cover all the needs you might have (customizable text, as well as changing the color of the links) DaniPine3 (talk) 01:22, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

@DaniPine3: There’s a bunch of pages with special death messages like “you never existed”, and one page that forces you to find the onecorrect link out of 12 while the earthquake template fucks with you but I didn’t use the original Ketchideath template for either of those… Oᑭöᔑᔑᙀᙏ (addicted) 01:32, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

@OPOSSUM: as for the first one, I could make the 'you died' text customizable as well. as for the second one, well, that actually should remain intact... DaniPine3 (talk) 01:37, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

adding to this conversation 1 year later: that's a lot of pings 🍂 gergdown 🍂 🌑 19:11, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

Dark mode/light mode thingy

@Gergdown: I've just realized that doing this with the offset thing in the link might be troublesome if the game over page in question already had an offset thingy. so yeah maybe it's better to just let it be the "light mode" thing. 🎄🎄🎄DaniPine3 (talk)🎄🎄🎄 22:35, 26 October 2025 (UTC)

@DaniPine3: i don't think anypages have a game over screen with the offset but i can easily "fix" it... i'm 99% sure any offset in mitk doesn't uses the maximum amount of digits (10) in their offsets, so i can make the offset increase (and decrease) it by a billion and it should be fine... probably. besides, it probably won't affect anything really... 🍂 gergdown 🍂 🌑 22:39, 26 October 2025 (UTC)

@Gergdown: k. thanks for going out of the way just for this compromise on this silly background thing, btw. 🎄🎄🎄DaniPine3 (talk)🎄🎄🎄 22:42, 26 October 2025 (UTC)

you're welcome 🍂 gergdown 🍂 🌑 22:45, 26 October 2025 (UTC)

@DaniPine3: you were right bringing that concern though. for pages that have the ketchideath template hooked to a {{#switch, i had to do this:

{{#switch:
|0={{Ketchideath|VancouverWA}}
|1={{Ketchideath|vancouver}}
|1000000000={{Ketchideath|VancouverWA}}
|1000000001={{Ketchideath|vancouver}}
}}

because, if i just set it to |0= and |1=, then when dark mode is enabled, the ketchideath template would disappear. i fixed it (probably...) 🍂 gergdown 🍂 🌑 18:43, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

radical new idea: what if the dark/light mode switch didn't use an offset at all 18:56, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

issue: what would we use besides offset? 🍂 gergdown 🍂 🌑 19:00, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

two seperate templates. basically one is light mode, one is dark mode. 👻_CUN Turb0-SunSpookrise, Esquire 👻05:54 11 7 '25 19:02, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

that still requires an offset, because how else are you gonna switch from light mode to dark mode without an offset? 🍂 gergdown 🍂 🌑 19:04, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

javascript probably. i honestly just found the page jumping to the top (and also stopping the music) whenever i hit the toggle annoying, it's not a massive deal or anything 20:21, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

Maximum flexibility

for some reason i documented this template despite there only being one use in it (besides, maybe being on ASBOTAAT). enjoy, and use this for all of your horrid matters 🍂 gergdown 🍂 🌑 23:08, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
