Talk:Tactical rail

Let's face it guys, this list of blasters with tac rails is gonna get bigger and bigger. We'll never be able to keep track of them all manually. Is there some way to automatically list them?

 * Best way would be to make a "Tactical rail-compatible blasters" (or whatever) category. There *may* be a way to have a list auto-pull from the category, but I'd need to look into that, since I don't know anything about having auto-lists off the top of my head. Jet  ( Talk  *  Contributions ) -

 * I did a little reading and it seems you can't transclude a category's content without external plugins. So, it may be worth it to instead make a category for blasters, Super Soakers, and products with tactical rails, and link to it on the article with Main. Jet  ( Talk  *  Contributions ) -


 * Alright, thanks Jet.

 * Somewhat related, we could do the same thing for stock and barrel attachment points.

 * Yeah, I think it's probably worth it to do that now, rather than list them on the barrel extension/shoulder stock article... I'll look into starting this today. Jet  ( Talk  *  Contributions ) -

Holy cow, we pulled that off! That definitely took alot of work, but in the end it was well worth it and simplified alot of things.

 * Great work guys! I didn't do much. One of the reasons I brought this issue up in the first place was that every single Assembler Gear blaster has a tactical rail I believe, and there would be so many blasters on the list.

 * So this is why my inbox is full of Fandom messages. Too bad I wasn't able to help, I was working all day. Great job everyone.
