Extra space
Each of these 5 cells has an extra unused space on the bottom (underneath the text). Necessary? Is this for aesthetics or consistency? Or just an oversight? - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 17:09, 5 January 2007 (EST)
- It was originally for consistency with the subpages, but I don't think it's necessary. Portal:Guest Cast uses two rows and looks just fine.--Hardvice (talk) 17:28, 5 January 2007 (EST)
- There you go, I removed the extra space. I think it looks fine. - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 20:12, 5 January 2007 (EST)
Deceased
- I added a deceased tag to the character template. See it in action here (probably only partially works on older browsers). Anybody think this is worth using?--Hardvice (talk) 03:46, 23 February 2007 (EST)
- Wow, that's actually pretty cool ... but, no, I don't think it's necessary. The focus of the page then becomes who's dead and who's not, rather than just a list of characters. I'm not totally against it, I just think it's distracting. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 06:14, 23 February 2007 (EST)
- My concern is that, on pages like Main Characters and Supporting Characters, people will start jawing about OMG WHY IS SIMONE STILL LISTED AS A MAIN CHARACTER SHE'S BEEN DEAD FOR 2 SEASONS or something.--Hardvice (talk) 12:50, 23 February 2007 (EST)
- Oh, yeah, you're right, I wasn't really thinking of the future. You know, I think it would be better if we left the name as is (take out the
strike), and leave it as a faded image. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 14:21, 23 February 2007 (EST)- We should definitely do something to the name, though (maybe gray text?) because old browsers don't support image opacity through CSS.--Hardvice (talk) 15:51, 23 February 2007 (EST)
- Sounds right to me. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 19:41, 23 February 2007 (EST)
- Maybe we could put (Deceased) under the name Heroe 20:03, 23 February 2007 (EST)
- That would require changing the size of the boxes using extra nonlinktext on the live characters, but it could work.--Hardvice (talk) 20:09, 23 February 2007 (EST)
- The italicized name seems like the perfect solution. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 21:26, 23 February 2007 (EST)

Characters' bios
Anyone thinking about changing the characters' bio formats so that they read more like a description of who they are and not a blow-by-blow account of all the scenes they've been in?
I'm not a regular contributor here, but maybe I could help. Now that there will be a hiatus of several weeks might be the time to do it? Renenarciso 20:23, 6 March 2007 (EST)
- That was brought up during the last hiatus. Though it hasn't been officially decided, what we'll probably do is let the pages get nice and long for the season, and then trim them. The long history will most likely be moved to a new page, and replaced on the main page with a strong "About" section or a history of important events, not every detail. Short answer: we'll wait until the end of the season to make big changes. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 01:26, 8 March 2007 (EST)
