| Hello everyone. Ultrasonic9000 here with a discussion I'll like to bring up.
Recently, we have discovered an potential good template here on SNN, made by CaptainCj, which is used for locations. It looks like this:
There is a lot thoughts that comes to one when seeing this template. For me and Myself 123 it is nice-looking, but it does seems misplaced here on SNN as its layout is very different from the other templates on SNN such as Template:Infobox character, Template:Infobox item and Template:TransformationInfobox. Still, in my opinion, it would be a waste to just ignore it. Because it is different, it leaves the question of what to do with it.
This is a matter that must be settled for the fact is that Template:Location has a lot of potential, and as more people see it, the more they'll try to implement it on other articles, which will only lead to more inconsistency on the articles. That we cannot stop. Even I find it hard to resist using the Template:Location. So I ask, what is your opinion on this. Editing it? Removing it? Implementing it? Forgetting it? I ask you of the best course of action that do you deem the best.Ultrasonic9000 (talk) 11:31, June 3, 2013 (UTC) Just use it as is. At some point we plan to improve existing infoboxes, and we'll update Location at the same time. -- Supermorff (talk) 13:34, June 3, 2013 (UTC)
Well since I was the one who actually discovered this infobox that was never used, I believe I have a say to it. I honestly think that it should indeed be implemented into the other info boxes. But since the image part makes the image a bit larger or actual size I'm sacred that if we use it on character pages the image could cover a large portion of the page. User:SplashTheHedgehog/Signature3 20:45, June 3, 2013 (UTC) As I may have said before, that infoboxes should get updated look like all banner templates have now got, this location template's showy design and sealed structure could be good base to give new, improvement look for infoboxes. Depending on, if Supermorff or other adamins have other plans to improve these infoboxes at "at some point", could it be this moment now? I would like to participate in this now, that I have yet time left here, we could do updated looking infoboxes at this wiki's sandbox, but now on I'm waiting what others like to said about this. Otherwise I support the third choice, that Ultrasonic gave at the beginning. - MarioSonic (talk) 21:51, June 3, 2013 (UTC) I like this template, only it looks awful. Once it gets modified, then we should use it on mainspace articles. BlueSpeeder (talk) 22:08, June 3, 2013 (UTC)
Personally, my eyes don't like it at all. I say change the colors at least; then we could definitely use this infobox. -- Shadowunleashed13 (talk) 14:16, June 4, 2013 (UTC)
In wiki's sandbox, there's now updated Location infobox with similar style of updated, second character infobox. The several sections are updated as first appearance, games and media sections are added and edited, while the picture section needs to add the whole picture file's name like other recent templates. Give some comment if there's something to add on. - MarioSonic (talk) 21:35, June 4, 2013 (UTC) EDIT: Nothing special, all infoboxes are now updated with slight changes. - MarioSonic (talk) 23:51, June 5, 2013 (UTC)
Well it seems that template:Location got updated (if it has been I didn't noticed) even though it's in the shape of the other templates it annoys me that it's like that. I think we should update all the infobox templates to look like that as it would make us stick out from other wikis have this unique layout. Plus no one ever said that we would all agree on changing it. I'd rather have it changed back. User:SplashTheHedgehog/Signature3 01:21, June 10, 2013 (UTC) I don't see any complaints. Is everyone satisfied with the current look of the infoboxes? -- Shadowunleashed13 (talk) 18:50, June 18, 2013 (UTC) |
