Forum:A new style for the templates

Hello; although I don't edit at this particular wikia often, I do in others and in the Spanish version of Bleachwiki, too. To be sincere, I think the templates of the wikia are too messy. The code they are written on is too redundant, too. What I'm suggesting is to give them all a complete overhaul, keeping the same style on them all, accompanied by a clear and friendly code, understandable by those who don't know how to make templates, so they can learn easily.

The main new features would be:
 * Direct access to discussion page from template headers.
 * Introduction of spaces to separate the content, to avoid line-jumps.
 * Use of "·"s from a new template.

You can see some of my work on the Spanish Bleachwiki here: http://es.bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Lista_de_plantillas_de_navegaci%C3%B3n

Of course, colors can be changed without problem. Some users could feel there's too much wasted space, but that's just because their screen size is bigger than the common one. It's done in purpose, so the content fits wasting as least space as possible in the lower resolutions.

Whatever, like my suggestions? Looking forward your opinions, be it positive or negative ;) :P.--Lon-ami 15:30, December 1, 2009 (UTC)


 * Other than the talk page link, the only difference that is an improvement which I can see is that the middot code has been replaced by a template. But there is no middot on my keyboard, so I would have to copy/paste it from another navbox (which kind of defeats the purpose), or find it in the symbols box underneath the edit window. I can live with that, but from my experience, a lot of people will not even think of looking there, never mind finding it. Anyway, what other differences are there that you feel makes it more manageable? I'm not the best at coding, so I'm all for making things more straight-forward, but I when I compare the two, I don't see it as being easier (other than what I already mentioned). --Yyp 17:30, December 2, 2009 (UTC)


 * Okay, we've added the link to each individual template's discussion page while standardizing the colour scheme of the templates. I think that's quite helpful in theory, but I'm not sure about in practice. Any other suggests are welcome. -- Yyp  (Talk)  20:39, December 5, 2009 (UTC)
