Beligaronia he/him Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 Hello Everyone! As you may have noticed I've been creating quite a few templates. Now is your chance to tell me that you love them, hate them or would like them if only they weren't as ugly and in such a distressing shade. The lists of Templates can be found here: http://www.17thshard.com/wiki/Category:Infobox_templates http://www.17thshard.com/wiki/Category:Navigation_templates http://www.17thshard.com/wiki/Category:Notice_Templates Specifically, The Character Infobox Template needs review since it will go on so many pages it would be nice to have it nearly perfect before going to all that effort. Does it look alright? Does it have the right fields? Does it need more fields? And finally, are there any templates anyone would like me to make that do not currently exist. Thank you for your time and happy editing! I await your responses with baited breath. Beligaronia 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos he/him Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 You made infoboxes. I think I may love you. They are great. Good job! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beligaronia he/him Posted September 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 OK. So the character infobox is complete? No extra fields needed? If so, next time I have a spare hour or so I'll go on a wiki-rampage and update the articles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverearth she/her Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 Is it possible to put a picture field in the book info box? So we can have a picture of the book cover on the page. Also, I think the delete-template is a little too bright. Maybe it's just a problem for me (I do have a bit of a hard time with bright colors), but I had trouble reading the words in the notice because the red was too intense. Otherwise, these are great! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beligaronia he/him Posted September 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 Thanks for the feedback. I shall change the delete template immediately (I was just choosing colors at random and red was easier to type than hexcode). There is actually an image field coded into the books template but its been commented out since we didn't have any way to upload images. However we can link to images hosted elsewhere I believe (possibly? not quite sure of the code but search wikipedia and it should help.) I don't have time to surf the internet for images right now (I'm supposed to be doing physics) but I'll try and get onto it later. If anyone else wants to do it before I get there feel free. Its a wiki! Be bold! Make changes! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earendil Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Actually, images are now uploadable, thanks to the generosity of Chaos! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beligaronia he/him Posted September 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Yup. Saw that. The image field is now uncommented and I've put one up for TWoK. We probably need to cobble together some guidelines for what images we can and can't use. Wikipedia seems to work on the principle that if we have free images then we should/must use that but if not, then a small image of the subject is permissible under fair use. Any thoughts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beligaronia he/him Posted September 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Ok! Seeing as how I love wikis (and want to put off maths) I have coded up a mock up of what our main page could look like. (This may become important now that we are exposed to the full gaze of the internet.) I would like some feedback. The page is on my talk page (http://www.17thshard.com/wiki/User_talk:Beligaronia.) By the way I know the colour of the header sucks and blends a bit but I couldn't find a nice shade in a hurry and it is such a nice shade of blue I just had to use it. (If anyone feels the same way and wants to keep the blue then I can code the links to show up in another colour.) Ok, your turn to talk. Mine to go do maths. PS To the admin that reads this please go protect the main page! I could be anyone and I could have made this change without consulting anyone. I could also take over the world and install squirrels in every home. I won't, because I'm nice and regard wikis as sacred animals, but (and this is important) not everyone on the internet is as nice as me. PPS Would anyone like a squirrel? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shivertongue he/him Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 At the moment, the main page is unprotected so things like the navigation can be done to it. We originally protected it some time back, but right before we did someone had created the navigation, and we realized locking it would prevent cool stuff like that from happening. So while the Wiki is still being largely constructed, we're leaving it unprotected. Eventually, though, it will be protected. The wiki is in it's experimental stages right now, and people are able to do with the main page what they like. If we don't like it, however, we will crush it and them mercilessly. With squirrels. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beligaronia he/him Posted September 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Fair call. As long as you are aware of the potential problem. Which I agree is nowhere near pressing sadly. ;_; I want people on the wiki! But, what do you think? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
