Merge rank templates

Would it be a better idea to merge all these rank templates into a universal template that uses "game" parameters to determine what rank images to use? As of now there are currently six different rank templates in use for SA2, Heroes, Shadow, 06, Origins and Frontiers and it's kind of cluttered. With a universal template, you could specify something like "sa2" to tell it to use SA2 rank images, "frontiers" to use Frontiers rank images, and so on. Here's a list of possible parameters I can think of:

• sa2 - Sonic Adventure 2
• heroes - Sonic Heroes
• shadow - Shadow the Hedgehog
• rush - Sonic Rush
• rushadv - Sonic Rush Adventure
• 06 - Sonic 06
• rivals - Sonic Rivals
• rivals2 - Sonic Rivals 2
• unleashed - Sonic Unleashed
• colors/colours - Sonic Colours
• gens - Sonic Generations
• lw - Sonic Lost World
• forces - Sonic Forces
• origins - Sonic Origins
• frontiers - Sonic Frontiers

I like that idea, though it does raise the issue of what to do with games whose rank images haven't been uploaded to the wiki yet. Perhaps we could use some sort of placeholder (like a plain text letter) as a default/fallback? --Splashdown (talk) 01:08, 6 October 2023 (EDT)

I think plain text will do as a placeholder in such cases. The rank templates for Origins and Frontiers used plain text in the past until I uploaded their respective rank images. --BSonirachi (talk) 09:24, 6 October 2023 (EDT)
