Bionics and implants for characters/species/(ethnicities?)

Honestly, idk how difficult it is for others with their CSS skills and such, but i find that Conditions being a thing you can easily write for characters being amazing. Write condition, add it to "conditions" box in article, done, and this can be done to any number of them with only one condition article and a link to each being. But as someone who writes a lot of sci fi and magic with prosthetics and such, i find it difficult to be able to clearly define such things as easily as conditions are without writing a condition article that is just a redirect to an item article about an implant, which is tedious to navigate, both for the owner but im betting also for readers/gamers.   The idea to this request is to streamline the way such things as implants (be them mechanical or biological) are accessed to match the ease Conditions have, As i have learnt myself, it can be rather difficult to put a link to an implant in somewhere logical on multiple articles if more than one being has the same one. As opposed to Conditions which has its own little dropdown. I sadly do not have the technical knowhow to understand how easy or hard adding such a thing would be, nor do i claim to know, but i believe it would be very useful to have.

The Team's Response

I am not really against that and I can see it being implemented fairly easily but it will need more support guys :/   There are ways to handle it as is without any CSS just very simply bbcode like the Key/Value pairs :) Come by DIscord or any Twitch Stream and I will show you how to do it!

    So what you're asking for is sort of an "equipment" thing for characters, but for more permanent things like bioengineering, bionics, cybernetics etc?   Sure, why not. Could probably easily be combined into the conditions template.

    "Augments" as something that allows you to pick multiple items would be pretty baller.

    Definitely would save a lot of grief.

    I partly feel the same. Although, the technology template works just as well for prosthetics, implants, or bionics

    Same here. I got a lotta cyborgs and hand-writing lists in the sidebar for dozens of characters, and then hunting down and changing links bc I had to rename sth is... a lotta maintenance. Also what Lyraine said, tech and conditions linked together would be awesome, bc there's a enough conditions related to / fixable by technology.

    I'd like to add a field for technology and conditions to link to each other on those templates as well, personally, but having the option to link a character directly to their technology would also be handy and awesome to have on hand.
