Change of name

The change Thirty7 just made got me thinking of two sides to this coin...

Is this typically referred to as "SSA1" or "Signature Story Arc I"? I'm wondering if a better template name might be "Req SSA Who Will Die", and then update the template itself to say Requires the Signature Story Arc "Who Will Die". If we're going to refer to it specifically, I'd rather use a clearer name.

On the other hand, each episode is separately purchasable. You can't just purchase the whole arc, and none of the individual episodes require that you own the whole arc. So the requirement of "SSA I" or otherwise is incorrect/misleading. The articles that use this require that specific episodes be purchased. That suggests that either we should keep the name very generic to just suggest that something needs to be purchased, or that we should update the template so that we can more explicitly specify what needs to be purchased on an episodic basis. -- Sekoia 22:05, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

I was JUST about to post this, but closed the tab before submitting it. Technically, "Signature Story Arc #1" is Who Will Die, so this template isn't entirely incorrect. What should probably change is that it says "Requires Who Will Die Episode #2" and the like. --GuyPerfect 22:08, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
Funny, because as soon as I finished making this change, that is precisely what i thought of... maybe we need to ammend the template so that it can say SSA1e3, for example, or some similar type of thing. Because as was pointed out, each Episode is a seperate unlock... and as Sekoia pointed out, WWD is the first SSA, but isn't really referred to in terms of that. *Thinking* —Thirty7 Talk-Icon.jpg 04:06, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Perhaps a template call such as: {{{Req SSA|arc=Who Will Die|ep=3}}, which then renders as ParagonMarket SignatureStoryArc1.png Requires Who Will Die, Episode 3. ? Should be easy enough to extend in the future. If they have different icons, we can do a switch on the arc name. -- Sekoia 04:14, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Works for me. \o/ --GuyPerfect 05:50, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
