Template talk:Spoilers

Z:OoT
Zelda: Ocarina of Time messes up with this, do you know how it can be fixed? Should we use Template:- before the section on that page? -- Mason11987 (Talk - Contributions) 08:40, 18 June 2006 (PDT)
 * Fixed in the template, since that's probably the best place. :-) --DrBob (Talk) 08:54, 18 June 2006 (PDT)
 * Thanks, and I also put one before the section, since it looks nicer that way. -- Mason11987 (Talk - Contributions) 09:27, 18 June 2006 (PDT)

Icon?
Why does this need an icon? It a bit to big for a spoiler warning anyway. I say we keep it nice and simple, like the old centered spoiler warning, maybe with a border around it. --blendmaster 17:48, 23 June 2006 (PDT)


 * The icon and style are there to fit in with the other templates (such as wip). The icon helps imho because it draws people's attention to the notice, making sure they know they're entering a spoiler area. I suppose the icon could be made a little smaller, but we'd have to consider carefully if we want to set that precedent for the other templates as well. --DrBob (Talk) 17:55, 23 June 2006 (PDT)


 * I made a change to the template, so it might be even better. -- Mason11987 (Talk - Contributions) 22:26, 23 June 2006 (PDT)


 * Well. I see you are using the tango icons. You could at least use the 32x32 or 22x22 ones, kind of like this. --blendmaster 11:47, 24 June 2006 (PDT)


 * Icon looks too small then, really. It needs to catch your attention, and the smaller icon instead just looks rather incidental. --DrBob (Talk) 12:56, 24 June 2006 (PDT)


 * how about with 48x48 icons? --blendmaster 13:38, 24 June 2006 (PDT)


 * 48x48 is good - if you want to change the templates to use the images at that size, feel free. :-) I don't like the second image though - it feels repetitive. It feels repetitive. --DrBob (Talk) 13:42, 24 June 2006 (PDT)

New template
I saw this thing in the Cave Story guides and I hate it. I made a new version that I like a lot more--what do you guys think? -- towers  http://media.strategywiki.org/images/a/a8/Towers_trex.gif 00:33, 17 November 2007 (CST)
 * I can't really see the appeal in a replacement. What don't you like about the current one? --DrBob (talk) 10:27, 17 November 2007 (CST)
 * The color strikes me first. It's less "Look! This is important!" than it is irritating and warm looking. And the image, I feel, is just... kind of ridiculous? If it looked more afraid, I could support it I think, but as it is, I can't. I feel like it is just mildly surprised. I also don't like the alignment or the full page stretch; I think it's kind of ugly.


 * Hence mine sticks out against the white, is alarming, cuts down on images in guide pages, has a centered approach for aesthetics, etc. If people feel I am completely wrong here then that's fine, but I feel like if even we don't use my revamp, the current version could be improved a lot. -- towers  http://media.strategywiki.org/images/a/a8/Towers_trex.gif 11:35, 17 November 2007 (CST)
 * Ok, there's a few faults with that template that you probably haven't realized, but that we sysops (namely DrBob and Notmyhandle) are changing in almost every template. Color values cannot be hard-coded into the template. This is because some people like to "reskin" the site (change the colors, etc.) via CSS, but you can only modify class attributes via CSS. Therefore, we've been switching templates from hard-coded colors into CSS classes, which yours isn't. Secondly, your code is really messy, way too many divs and ps and strongs and such. It needs to be cleaned up quite a bit. And finally, those exclamation points look really pixelated, and present an overall not-good appearance to the template. An image, such as our current one, looks much more cleaner. -- 12:20, 17 November 2007 (CST)
