Automatically preventing it from appearing on pages when the associated Flux ends
Isn't there a way to code the template so it automatically stops appearing on a build page and stop categorizing that page into Category:Affected by Flux when the associated Flux ends? This template already requires entering the name of the Flux, so couldn't it be made to only show whichever the current Flux is. E.g. the Flux is currently Hidden Talent and the build pages are tagged with Hidden Talent; when March ends, Hidden Talent will automatically stop displaying on and categorizing those build pages. This will prevent having someone to manually remove it every month and if a Flux appears again (i.e. the reappearance of Hidden Talent most likely means some of the other Flux might appear again also), the template won't have to be readded to those pages that are already tagged (e.g. with Hidden Talent) if that Flux reappears in the future. --RRe 19:51, 3 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Easiest way would be to do:


 * Its only worth doing if we reckoned they will repeat much more often.


 * Alternative: create a list of each flux + the appropriate changes you'd make/notes about why flux works..
 * Big switch statement containing each flux - compares to current flux - we'd input that onto the template each month. + at a greater subdepth a switch template comparing build name to pick the appropriate flux template variables. e.g.

 EXAMPLE CODE FOR FLUX PARASITE TEMPLATE.


 * If someone felt like creating a spreadsheet with the description values for the different fluxes and builds then I could bash out some templates pretty quick. (we'd then insert the parasite template into Good-Build/Great-Build/Meta-Build such that we don't have to go around adding the parasite template to every page -_- - Cɥıǝɟʇɐıu Alǝx 00:29, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

For now, I've used my bot to manually hide the hidden talent flux templates. I'll work on setting up one of the above tomorrow and replace the manual hides afterwards. -- Toraen   confer  04:07, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Category:Affected by Flux
Category:Affected by Flux continues to be only populated by builds affected by the previous Flux. Is there anyway to have the template correctly categorize the builds affected by the current Flux besides having to edit this template each month when a different Flux begins? --GW3 (talk) 23:16, 2 August 2014 (UTC)


 * the page only updates when the page is visited by a user, and so the template doesn't refresh the categories until visited. The easiest way to get this kind-of-working would be to setup categories for each flux, and to apply those categories all the time. - Chieftain Alex  19:39, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I've edited this template and created the categories. --GW3 (talk) 10:20, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

Positive/Negative/Viable
That's a great addition to the functionality. Thanks a lot. I'll go through the PvP builds and change the tags accordingly. --Krschkr (talk) 15:06, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
