Current Layout...
Just so everyone knows... I'm going to be fine-tuning the current layout... As far as I'm concerned, their should be NO NEWSBOXES even with the main header. Fine-tuning is needed, if only because it looks unprofessional with the uneven boxes and suchlike. Make suggestions here and I'll see if I can incorporate them as I tweak the layout and spiff it a bit. Kitsufox Fox's Den 20:32, 26 June 2008 (UTC)


 * New layout looks great, Kitsu. One problem I have noticed, is that in Opera version 9, the Rise of Scourge release box is majorly cut off on the right side. It's so bad, you can't read the text in it. I tried adjusting the width of the template on the mainpage, but it didn't work. Any way you know of to fix it?-- Eu ( Talk! – Contribs ) 15:41, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately I don't have Opera, so it's going to have to wait until I have an opportunity to download it and see about making it work (After the wedding, most likely). Considering that I've got the width and suchlike variables all set, things shouldn't be malfunctioning like that... Does the same issue happen in other browsers too? It's sort of weird that you wouldn't have the issue in the World box above it, since most of the variables are pretty much set the same for each... Kitsufox Fox's Den 15:49, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Same with Firefox version 2.0. And on IE 6.0.....It's horrible. The Introduction template is underneath the news and FA boxes, and stretches all the way across the screen. The news is leaking out of the news box, as is the books template. But hey, at least the RoS release template is fine :) If you'd like me to screenshot any of this, let me know.-- Eu ( Talk! – Contribs ) 15:53, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * That's utterly mindblowing... Because it looks great for me in Firefox 3.0 (Why on earth are you still using 2.0? That was hella outdated for V2.. and V3 is better), Firefox 3.0 w/ IE Tab, IE 7.0.6 (Again... Why are you using such an outdated version?), and Safari 3.1.2 ... The issue might be with the older browsers reading the new column tags because Introduction is in a completely diffrent table and column from news... Kitsufox Fox's Den 16:33, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Ha, I wish I could upgrade, but Windows ME only works for IE 6 and FF 2, and Opera 9 is used on my Wii. I'll be getting a laptop soon, and finally upgrade. Could it be my OS?-- Eu ( Talk! – Contribs ) 17:39, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The OS doesn't actually control the way things are read from a website. It could be tied to your browser, though. They're both outdated, and there's no guarantee ANYTHING will look good on the Wii Opera Browser unless it's specifically designed for it. After some research I learned (from This Page) that EI5 was problematic, and no mention of IE6 specifically working (page seems a touch out of date). I'm fairly certain it's an issue using outdated browsers... and considering ME is not only completely outdated by 2 OS Upgrades, but one of the single worst windows platforms in terms of quality... Well... I have no idea what I can do for you... Kitsufox Fox's Den 19:34, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

ME reeks with suckiness, I just hope my laptop will have a better OS.-- Eu ( Talk! – Contribs ) 23:13, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Meh, it's ok. I think I can find a way to find out what I'm missing out on in the template :)


 * I just looked at the main page using a different computer, running the same version of FireFox, and it's perfect, meaning it must be my OS. Or my sucky computer. Now I can honestly say good job on the main page ;)-- Eulalia ( Talk! – Contribs ) 22:45, 9 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Thankee. I still have a few things that I don't like about the current layout, but they're going to stay in limbo until some other things are finalized and I can revamp a section. Kitsufox Fox's Den 01:00, 10 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I found out what is wrong with the main page, and it isn't my OS :)

Screen size. Risght now, I've got it set to what I usually have it on, 1024X768 pixels, High Color (16 bit), but anything above 1024X768 makes it look fine. But, on the downside, it makes everything tiny. Ah well. Sheesh, we've worked up 10 indents!-- &Sigma;ul&atilde;l&iacute;&atilde; ( Talk! – Contribs – Sign Here ) 02:36, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Template:Cite
I created Template:Cite and you can see it in action here. Please use it to request a citation for debatable information in articles instead of just deleting it (the information, I mean). Helixtalk 17:30, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

Table layout
The tables we usually use on pages look a bit... old school. Is it OK if I give them a more modern look? For example:

 * I have no problem with it; it makes the wiki look more professional. -- Sandy star 17:07, May 13, 2010 (UTC)

I agree. It looks much nicer.-- N i g h t s h i n e    {   22:47, May 15, 2010 (UTC)

I am a complete noob when it comes to css coding but I do believe there is a way to define a table class, "wikitable", in MediaWiki:Common.css, so that when you add "class=wikitable" to any table, it will have those properties that you specify. I don't know exactly how it's done, but I could take the code from another wiki and fiddle around with it to try and get it to work like this (to make it easier to implement a different style for all the tables.)  i nsaneular  The original Hazelnut spread 00:42, May 16, 2010 (UTC)

I can do that; but first we must agree if the table above is OK. :) Any changes needed, like a slight tweak of colors, thinner border / padding / spacing etc? Helixtalk 17:46, May 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Wow Helix. These are really good! Quailflight  13:34, May 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * They look good, and nobody seems to have objections, so I think it's okay to add it to the css. If you give me the code I can add it in :) insane  brick'd 16:45, May 23, 2010 (UTC)

Add this to common.css: table.wikitable { color: #000000; background: #FFFFFF; empty-cells: show; text-align: center; border: 2px solid #E0E0E0; } table.wikitable td { background: #DEF2F7; } table.wikitable th { background: #E0E0E0; } These are the basics, of course, it can be customized further (spacing, alignment, additional options etc). The table class name can be anything, e.g. you can put "warriorstable" instead of "wikitable", then it will be referred as class="warriorstable". Helixtalk 17:36, May 23, 2010 (UTC)

Or another one: with the code: table.wikitable { color: #3665A2; background: #FFFFFF; empty-cells: show; text-align: center; border: 2px solid #3665A2; } table.wikitable td { background: #DEF2F7; border: 1px solid #3665A2; } table.wikitable th { background: #3665A2; color: #FFFFFF !important; } Kind regards, Helixtalk 18:17, May 23, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the code. I've added in both table styles, as the second one looks nice too :) The first one can be utilized by adding class="wikitable" and the second one by class="wikitable2" (for lack of a better name, I can change it if someone comes up with a better one :P) insane  brick'd 18:59, May 23, 2010 (UTC)

Role Playing?
Is there really a need to have articles for all those role playing sites? I don't think we need them-- N i g h t s h i n e    {   22:47, May 15, 2010 (UTC)

Well... RP sites are a part of the Warriors experience, so we might keep the category, but we must define some criteria for including a RP community (such as showing a certain activity for a certain time). I checked some of the sites, and almost all of them have been abandoned for years, or never even started up. We certainly do not need to list those. Helixtalk 18:12, May 17, 2010 (UTC)

I think the Role-play policy needs a bit of a revamp, but I do agree that we should keep it, just reform it so we don't have old, inactive sites. I'll talk with Bramble about it.  i nsaneular The original Hazelnut spread 21:45, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
