you seem really want to use a combination of Biome + Tier + Status A/I (active/inactive)

actually from the current TableDA and TableDI, the manual labor is expected and doesn't exceed the manual labor from editing A/I category or create new Template for listing the Dino. both will have almost the same speed and and probably smaller amount of complexity than the other

The template that might be most useful should be User:Justvisitin/ad. It does very little, but I think it could be highly effective. All it does is replace “biome|tier” with the approrpiate name of the currently active dino.

Let‘s say people like this idea and we change the name of the template to Template:AD (for “active dino”). We would then go through our pages and templates and replace all places where we mention dinos based on wether they are active with a parameterized template invokation, e.g., we’d replace Giant Sloth with  , Ingridia with    etc.

Once the active dino changes, we’d only have to make one change in one place (Template:AD) instead of all over the place. so basicly we just have to create one more template for showing a list Dino base on Biome and Tier right ? at the moment it might have little impact coz only 1 Dino is active in each Biome and each Tier. i have to think more expand if someday there are multiple Dino in one cell, such as in TableDI.

Note 1: will try to simulate first using Template:ListDA and will create also Template:ListDI using the suggested parameter.

Note 2: oh about the colour, yes will create new template also (Template:BiomeColor)

Note 3: about the trice and cory fiasco, the tabber is in early stage and i haven't use the TableDACell. and jumble around the Dino in the tableDA is fairly easy and only takes few seconds to change the Dino active and Inactive.
