PSA Page Templates

Took me a while to figure out how to get it to work without it looking really ugly. Actually had to search up stuff on table border styles to find something that would work (and found a bunch more in the process). Might implement it to the template's primary table and maybe even the quote box template (removing the Color2 parameter in the process).


EDIT: Bit of misunderstanind, but I eventually figured it out. Again.

 

So in case you haven't been paying attention to Recent Changes, I have finally figured out how to pull of something long requested. Within the Infobox Character template is a Planet Icon parameter (will soon be renamed Icon) which allows for an opaque planet icon to be placed within the "background" of one of the tables of the template. All that work figuring out how to pull it off has finally paid off!

Now then, two things I highly recommend if you ever use this parameter. First, stay at a size of 150px. Second, add link= to the image syntax, but do not provide any information. So basically, it should look like this:
[[File/Image(either works):whatever.idc|150px|link=]]

I also think the planet icons themselves should be uniform in size. And preferably not as big as the icon for Vindrgard. Like I can understand them being somewhat big, but I think 1577x1597's kinda pushing it.

 

Pretty much that. The current thing going on is that I added a general note regarding that to the template page... which Kuda keeps removing...

 

Incoming changes in regards to the species infobox:

• Status will become Conservation Status, with the parameter for it being unchanged. For this, you will now fill in the species' status in regards to its existence and likelihood to become extinct (Least Concerned, Near Threatened, Vunerable, Endangered, Critically Endangered, Extinct in the Wild, Extinct).
• A new infobox for monsters will be created. In addition to having the parameters of the species inforbox (including the above change), it will have two more parameters: Threat Level and Rarity, both of which should be self-expanitory.

EDIT: Changes have been made. As for the new monster infobox, basically it is set up as:

Code:

{{Infobox Species/Monster
|Box title=
|image=
|Caption=(Remove this part if you're not filling it in. 
Leaving it empty results in a random apostrophe for some reason.)
|Science=
|Planet=
|Habitat=
|Status=
|Threat Level=
|Rarity}}

So basically, if you're already using the species infobox for a monster, just add /Monster after Species and the two new parameters, and you're good to go.

 

http://manaverse.zejroleplaying.org/index.php?title=Template:Infobox_Plot
New Infobox for Plot pages. Parameters: Color (to be added in later), Box title, image, Caption (as usual, do not include this parameter if you have no intention of using it), Canon, Timespan (preferably in terms of SCT), Planet, Characters.

Also, I'm noticing some inconsistency in the introduction sections for character pages. As a suggestion, maybe we could attempt something that should be attempted that's been done on several pages (mine included). Start off with a paragraph that gives general info on them. Then basically start on paragraphs that briefly describe their roles in the differing timelines, starting with Prime, then Alter, and then... whatever the third is called because I forgot (if they have anything in said timeline). If there is very little/no difference in their role between certain/all timelines, then maybe merge certain paragraphs. And if for some reason they're exclusive to a certain timeline, maybe a line explaining why that's the case (like what I've done with Deathstorm and Erahvs' pages).
