Yeah, sorry for not doing that earlier. I just needed to make sure there were no last minute changes to parameters which would change what needs changing. Everything should be set now, so here is the syntax to change from and to, copied from what's in the documentation:

Obviously the templates that will be switched won't actually be empty like that but will have parameters, so below is an example of a template in use which will need to be changed, from the page w:c:candy-crush-saga:Level 6. The new parameters in the following example are obviously being left blank because you can't fill those in. In some cases, the original template will also have a difficulty parameter lying on the page. That one hasn't done anything for months now but have just been left there because it's technically doing no harm, yet it could cause confusion to users since the difficulty still displays on the page; it's just being controlled by an outside template. When you come across the difficulty parameter, can that also be deleted along with the other unused parameters?

Note: the location parameter in the original template is renamed to episode in the new template, but the value should stay the same (minus the square brackets if possible, but not essential if too hard to do). Similarly, the score parameter needs renaming to target, but the value can stay the same. If it's not too challenging, can you also make it so that if the blocker parameter is set to N/A in the old infobox that parameter is empty in the new one? That's only if it's not too hard, as it's not that important. Also, where you can see the previous and next level have been made manually into links, would it be possible to remove the brackets and link part leaving only the actual level number behind, and, in the case of the Dreamworld levels, the number plus the dab term (Dreamworld)? The reason is the links are formed in template and won't work if left manually linked as they are.

I think I've covered everything for this template. I understand that it's not an easy job for you to do! If there's any confusion about anything, just ask, and if there's any particular part which is too complicated to do but won't break anything badly, feel free not to do it. All the pages the templates are on will have to be edited anyway to add in the new information required, so some of the stuff could be done manually when the time comes. As long as the basic outline of the template is on the pages in a working state, the fine tuning can be done later.

I'm just copying the information across from my test wiki to CCSW now so things will be ready for the change over whenever you are. Once you've finished moving this template, there is another template to move, although that hopefully shouldn't be nearly as hard! I'll write up the details for that one a bit later, but I just want to make sure you have this information now.

Thanks a lot for doing this! Trying to do it all manually would have been a nightmare!
