Reign Time

New Feature Addition · Articles & templates · Created by UnknownWriter88

completed

A feature that I think would be an excellent addition to WA would be a field to show the exact reign of a monarch (king, queen, emperor, etc.) For an example: King Edward VII ruled the UK from January 22, 1901 – May 6, 1910. The new addition could be placed under the 'Genetic' tab of a Character template.

The Team's Response

UPDATE: After a quick discussion on Discord, I will be implementing this as a open-text field under the Social tab of a character with the title "Reign" I am really sorry to decline this but it is not really a good idea - not like this - let me explain why. I can easily add a "Reign time" prompt but...

A reign is generally associated with an organization a character reigns over

A single character can reign over the same organization multiple times across multiple spans of time (deposed kings, elected presidencies etc)

A single character can reign at the same time or in separate time across multiple organizations. (Queen of England has pretty much a rap sheet bigger than a toilet paper)

I am honestly not sure what is the right solution for this but it is not a single field called "Reign time", so as it is - I will have to decline this, Once again I am really sorry but I cannot make it make sense for the above reasons. Please feel free to contact me on the #development-discussion if you wish to counter propose and discuss.

...Do you mean 'Generic' tab? I don't think the character templates have *genetic* tabs. XD' Nitpick aside, I do support this.
